2019 Texas Softball - Connie's overboard, Anchors Aweigh!

[jdhorn92 1535]

Nice win. Turned it at 0-4 to watch Dateline with wifey (no pics). Who knew it was a 2-hour show. Glad to flip over to see we won!!

[Nueces River Rat 5521]

Nice win.   I was at Graduation dinner and saw an update we were down 4-0 and thought let the football season countdown begin.  Didn't check again till around 1 and was surprised we pulled it out.

This link quotes coach as saying the ball got Miranda on the cheek, which would be easier to break than if it had got her on the forehead.

Btw I think Shea and Brooke are well suited for this matchup. Alabama struggled with offspeed and both have good change ups. Elish doesn’t really throw one 

 

[pacman 7282]

Love the resilience of this bunch. Momentum has to be on our side now.

[rvm96 1643]

There is a boomerang video on Miranda Elish's instagram of her with her teammates. It definitely got her in the cheek.

MK Tedder's HR was HUGE -- really got the offense going!!!

She crushed that ball... 🤘

God damn 

[Pato del Muerto 52232]

I wonder if Mike’s been hit by line drives before. He’s been pitching for like 40 years, something must have gotten him at some point.

If you are a pitcher in a fast-ball game, then you have been hit by a line-drive.  Part of the game.

Brooke getting the start. 

[LTtxfan 48823]

That picture doesn't even look like Miranda.... 🙏🙏🙏

[rvm96 1643]

On the Florida St. vs. Oklahoma St. broadcast one of the announcers just said Miranda will have tests done in Austin for possible problems with her sinuses.

Bollinger vs Fouts. Third time seeing her now. 

[Js1 84995]

Damn thrown out at the plate. But 2 hits and a walk that inning. Showing life early against Fouts 

[Goodman 3273]

Her hand got in but called out.

I just tuned in. She was at 2nd...seemed like she forced the issue when everyone was safe bases loaded.

[rvm96 1643]

That bunt attempt with two strikes was a really weird play

[WBT 20376]

she was in under the tag

Okie State first to advance. No repeat champ this year.

2 outs with your best base runner, you always force them to make the perfect play. She got her hand in but bang-bang play, all close plays are going to home team this series.

Bang-bang but that tag on shoulder, she was safe.

[smoky 837]

Safe motherfucker

This is correct. More often than not, that throw and tag isn’t perfect

Probably tough for umpire to call that close of a play safe in BamaLand...

Yeah... I was wrong but live look appeared out to my bad recliner eyes 😄

She was definitely safe at the plate.  Close, yes, but safe.  Bama getting some more of that home cooking.

Blue isn’t giving BB anything

True, but the pitcher needs to adjust now. Home cooking and what not.

Hopefully Mary is having conversations with HP about where they are missing 

[Js1 84995]

3 walks, 3 pop ups. And a lot of pitches already 

[LTtxfan 48823]

F' YEAH BROOKE!!!!  🤘

[kingkoopa6 8300]

I was nervous there

It's all arms on deck. Win or go home. Won't be surprised if we get relievers coming in after the 3rd inning.

[FloridaHorn 4729]

Ump is not giving Bolinger the corners which is where she has to live to be successful. Hopefully our offspeed stuff frustrates the Bama hitters and we see many more of those pop ups

Except Elish. So it’s Brooke, Shea and Adams

Getting hosed again on calls

[Goodman 3273]

Not sure why it took me so long but muted the ESec broadcast and went with ours.

Our girls need to work that Bama pitcher a little harder. Raise her pitch count more.

FIFY.

[Goodman 3273]

00roids 3B with a double on a ball down the middle which the ump is calling a ball vs. BB. 

That was a strike ump.

Close calls will go Tide's way today.  Pretty common for a home team to get calls in elimination game for a Super Regional....
