I don’t know enough about softball to be dangerous so I’ll ask a stupid ?

Is softball anything like baseball where pitchers will pitch “around” hitters when the hitter has no protection in the lineup before them &/or after them? Is Karli not benefiting like last year by having Poullard in front of her and Wang behind her?

I am unsure how Hathoot is batting .333. Every time I read a game thread or watch a game it seems like she is getting out.

Absolutely. Wark has struggled some behind her. Not having any video this weekend you can't really tell what pitches Godwin is going after. It could just be tough luck, we'll see

Ground out to P
Ground out to 2B
Single up the middle
Foul out to 3B

Cowgirls come back to win 9-5

 

[LA-Poke]

They will pitch around for sure, this team though is probably one of the fastest teams we have had. I dont remember the last time we had a slap hitter. It's like we have a full team of Chelsea Alexanders as hitters

 

[OKPokeU]

Not sure if it applies to Hathoot in particular, but official scorers in softball are VERY VERY generous when giving hits instead of errors.

She had a ton of hits in Clearwater

Basically one bad inning and six good ones in the circle. Just have to keep that one inning from happening. Though it seems to happen quite often.

 

[Chairman of the Board]

That's now 4 in a row for the Cowgirls. 8-4 overall.

The good news is Bloodworth hit the ball really well AND the team has mastered the "find a way to win" mantra.

This team needs to find some consistency, though. You shouldn't need to find a way against Central Arkansas and they really gifted you the big inning that ended it. Delgadillo and Godwin didn't bring their bats with them apparently, when they should have been feasting.

Next up is a DH with South Dakota State AGAIN and WSU in Wichita on Thursday. Nebraska and I bet Jordy Bahl on Friday.

 

[Cowboyshoopspride]

I would really appreciate it if the ladies could just kick booty all game and stop waiting to do it in the last inning. Not sure my heart can take 50 more games of this.

It doesnt matter who we play. Best team in the nation or worst...its always tight lol

Yes. I want at least one OSU sport that can be dominant and mostly stress free.

 

[OkState1974]

thought we had that last year with Women's Tennis. Dominated entire season until Semi-Finals when one of our star players gets injured and has to forfeit her match. Chairman, you should know better!!

 

[LA-Poke]

At least we know, no matter who we play in these invitationals, teams are going to throw their best pitcher at us in every single game, Wichita state, nebraska, and mizzou will do that this weekend.
