Last year’s team lost 2 games to a 27-26 S Miss team and also lost to a 21-32 Bradley team...yet they still were pretty good, right? It’s early and it’s softball, and a lot of young players are in the lineup. Let the season play out and understand that we may have some bumps in the road, just like last season.

Good point. They got tested a little in the 2 games against EIU, but by this time last year they’d already lost a game. Not sure if any of the teams they played this weekend will be any good, but 5-0 is 5-0.

It gets a heck of a lot harder from here, though. The bats are still there, but we need some arms to back them up. KJT has shown a lot of growth and we’ll need her next weekend.

2.
11:30 Evansville vs. Illinois-Chicago
7:00 Iowa vs. Evansville

Sal, gst, txst all got beat pretty badly by p5 teams this weekend. That is supposed to be the top of the belt but clearly not any better than years past.

Concern is better than worry. Keep in mind that Kylee Jo Trahan is the only pitcher with experience in this program, Summer and Alyson have seen little to no playing time. The other 5 pitchers are first year. Kara and Kelly are the only players with more than 1 year of experience at this level and everyone is having to go though the growing pains of a new coaching style. If the pitching staff picks up their teachings as quickly as it seems they may, this will be one of the last teams anyone will want to see in their super regional.

Georgia State's strength is their offense, so not scoring against Michigan is a little concerning. I can understand them not scoring against Florida. 1-0 against Alabama is not bad for South Alabama, and Texas State losing twice to a potential world series team in Florida State is less troubling.

Might have to get used to not seeing the long ball like we used to but, as long as we score more runs than the other team it doesn't matter how we get them.

Defense doesn't look as smooth as it should yet. Going to have to figure out who is going to play where soon.

We got cought stealing several times, I know coach wants to run but we took the bat out of our hitters hands way too much imo.

We stole 17 bases. SEVENTEEN. When that happens, you'll get thrown out a time or two.
