Friday DH in Wichita

[Chairman of the Board]

The Cowgirls put their 6 game win streak on the line versus #16 Nebraska and Missouri.

First game is at 12:30. I'm sure it will be Bahl for Nebraska. Of course, no video--even though this is a top 20 match up.

 

[Chairman of the Board]

1st inning

2 of 3 Cowgirls K vs Bahl

All 3 Huskers K vs Meylan


Top 2

Wark Ks
Hathoot K's
Warsop grounds out to 2B


Warsop grounded out to second on a 2-0 pitch. I think that shows our approach "swing at the first pitch you like."

She's not a power hitter, we need a base runner, and conventional wisdom says to take and see if you can draw a walk, especially when you don't have a base runner yet.

At minimum try to force it to 3-0 because then she either gives you a pitch to hit or your standing on first.

I guess the logic is "let's see if we can get a run with one swing instead of stringing together several hits."

Ah the Josh Holliday approach

The difference, from what I see (and I can't see ANYTHING this weekend) is that the Cowgirls make a lot of a contact and rarely walk--they seem to be taught to track the ball better, as opposed to the Pokes who strikeout in record numbers annually but also manage to draw a lot of walks (led the Big 12 last year)

But we've forced a lot more counts and drawn some walks, you can tell there was an adjustment
