Ivy gives up a leadoff single but nothing else

B5
Davis grounds out to SS
McDonald fouls out to SS
Bloodworth HBP (only the third baserunner of the day)
--runner moves up on wild pitch
Warsop flies out to shallow CF

0 runs 0 hits

Pretty weak effort so far. A freshman pitcher with only 2 innings (and 3 runs allowed) before today is completely shutting them down

PH Kilfoyl down looking, took strike 2 and 3. Goodness.

I hate to say it…Kilfoyl isn’t the hitter Kenny thinks she is…let her focus on pitching

Last call for the Panthers

Groundout to SS, nice play by MB
Foul out to 1B

You can have an off day at the plate when you get pitching like that. Rosenberry goes to 3-0 with a .27 ERA

OSU wins 1-0 and moves to 12-2 on the year. Next game in one hour.

I think she'll need too many ABs to get into old form and there's plenty of other bats that don't need that.

 

[MT Cowboy]

The Cowgirls to this point in the season have shown they can play with anybody and win in many different ways, even when they aren't at their best or get a slow start. Gutsy win this morning.

She wasn’t one at bama, don’t know why we’re trying to make her one here. She’s not Miranda Elish or Samantha show.

I mentioned a few games ago that Bloodworth was starting at DP and it was odd, but it turns out that's a strategy by Coach G to be able to have some flexibility in Bloodworth's hitting spot, and moves Kilfoyl to a flex spot in the lineup. Bloodworth immediately moves to SS once the opponent bats.

Not much different at the plate from game 1, so far

[Chairman of the Board]

Bottom 3 in today's OSU order are hitting .190, .200, and .222
Point: the top of the order may be as good as anyone (today excluded) but still there are spots that need solidified at the bottom. I really expected to see more of Lott this year, but hasn't materialized yet.
