UL is down 5-0 in the 2nd
seems there was some controversy, I'm not sure what it was
Texas player was tagged out trying to steal second, ump called her safe. Coach Michael Lotief is angryyy.
UT had runners on 1st and 3rd with no outs (after a bunt single with a runner on first base, where the lead runner proceeded to third when nobody covered the bag). The Lady Longhorns executed a double steal. The Lady Cajun throw went to second base (the Lady Cajuns were willing to trade a run for an out, in the interest of preventing the big inning), where the tag was high ... but according to Stevie well in front of the bag with the tag being applied well before the runner reached the bag. Umpire called the runner safe.Quote:

Poor Christi Orgeron just can 't do anything right in this tournament, Right now the bigger problem is Katie Smith who had a hard slide back into 2nd base. things look lke the Cajuns just need to pack the bags and get out of Texas. The umpires have been "questionable at best".
Katie is up, but does not look real steady. She is walking by herself.
I think that we will be leaving after this game. We've seen enough "of Texas umpires".
Bases loaded, no outs -> end result = no runs. That was a rough inning for the girls.
One last note before we leave, Katie Smith is out of the game which leaves us all wondering how serious the injury might be.
Please keep us posted. Trying to continue my shoveling of 4-feet plus snow. Wish I could be there to see the team play.
Remember: "it is not over to the fat lady sings". Of course in Texas, their umpires might influence that. lOl

Ouch, we just found it and the score is now 6-0.
Oh well, we have an afternoon and night in Houston to have fun!
The ladies look anxious and nervous. Trying to force the issue too much at the plate, defensively they made some mistakes but it happens especially with 2 true freshman out there learning the position.
The umps are atrocious.
Doesn't sound to me though that we have now lost two games because of the umpires. Lack of hitting... errors... mental mistakes. Umpire calls might have made matters a bit worse, but we lost because of US.Quote:

I wish that an iphone battery would last longer. Listening to a game via radiolicious (SP?) really kills your battery. Thank God for car chargers!
It's a long season. The ladies will gain a ton of experience in these tournaments. We will see a much better team come regionals.

I actually think that you have a semi valid point, but the crowd that follows Cajun softball is a very informed crowd. Most of the parents and others that follow the girls on the road, and may at Lamsen Park, are ex officials and ex or current coaches. They know the game from every aspect.Quote:

Cajuns aren't the only ones complaining about the umps. Other teams fans I've talked to have been covering their eyes at some of the calls.Quote:

You are far too kind. They did not single out the Cajuns, but they did single out the two teams that had "T" and "H" on the uniforms. I think you call that a home field advantage, but yesterday and today it was ridiculous.Quote:
