All wins are PRECIOUS. Appreciate every single one of them.

Way to hang on. Thankfully we have the late game so Jordan has more time to rest. It would be nice if Troy could come through, but we'll be ready for South Al tomorrow if they don't.

How big was that one out wild pitch that got Fernandez to second. Than Myers made the second out and cousin Cherry came through to bring in the winning run...big wild pitch.....

[CajunRed]

I don't think any of our other pitchers could have given us a win. But that's just me.

[CajunT]

Ok, well i guess the rest of the pitching staff can just stay at the hotel room the rest of the tournament.

Coach is going to leave Wallace in there no matter what it seems like.

Not sure who you want him to put in, someone besides his ace? The problem is when Wallace has an off day, there has been no one ready to step up and take the reins.

I don't know if they could not have won, but they have not given us many indications this season that would make you say "yeah, she would have held on and won." Hamilton was good two years ago, but with the injury in the 11' regionals, she has not been the same pitcher in my opinion.

We have a young pitching staff overall, two freshman and two sophomores I think. If one of the three behind Wallace can step up, we'll be trouble for any team in the future.

Side note - South Al handling Troy 5-1 in the 4th.

South 5-8-1

Troy 1-3-1

Campbell in the circle. Both pitchers are lights out, but who do we want to face tomorrow?

We want Campbell. She will have iron man duty this week.

One of the other pitchers could have came in and threw some strikes. It wasnt like they were knocking the stuffing out of the ball. Wallace wasnt putting the ball ober the plate.

But hey, in the end Coach made the right decision.TThy got out of that game with a win. I am worried about how much that game took iut of Jordan though.

Also, if Coach didnt make a pitching change in THAT situation it shows that he has zero confidence in anyone not named JW. I really thought some of the other pitchers were starting to build confidence towards the end of the year.

Going to be tough to win a regional like that.

I can't see this team winning a regional much less a super regional with one pitcher.
