Louisiana vs purple team

_ At least one for every batter Ashley faced. _

Perhaps the Advocate and the DA will interview the ump to find out exactly what was illegal about the pitches. LOL

Man the interview with coach Mike was moving---Talked about where they had come from with the program and thanked the community, AD, Administration---Talked about kids and their faith in signing with the Cajuns---They all were on the same page and after today will be ready to go to the Big Show by beating Houston---Think he was a lil choked up---Great Job!!!!

Unfortunately, umpires don't make themselves available to the media after the game for interviews.

But it's funny the whole illegal pitch thing happened today after reading this post on another softball forum last night:

That, and make sure your pitch is ultra-legal if an LSU runner gets to third. Otherwise, you may give up an umpire assisted run. If you don't believe me, ask Tennessee and Arkansas.

Bunch, are these local umpires? I must be really naive, but I figured since it was an NCAA tourney that the best of the best were there?

Am I wrong?

What gets me the most about the illegal pitches is this: You know darn well that Ashley did not decide in the 7th inning to START throwing illegal pitches. Any way you look at it, the umpire decided to start calling it after seeing that LSU couldn't win on their own.

Man, I was about ready to go homicidal when that beotch called an illegal pitch AFTER Ashley caught what should've been the 3rd out on that pop-up!!! [Good thing I wasn't at the game, heh?? ]

[Big Buds]

Good luck in Houston Cajuns!!!! Great Win!!!

Well, it's supposed to be the best of the best, but I know Tidwell (home plate umpire) works a lot of SEC and LSU games. In fact, here's a little gem I found with a quick google search of her name:

LSU 8, ARKANSAS 6: LSU, which lost a 4-0 lead when Arkansas scored five runs in the fifth, forced extra innings when Rachel Mitchell scored on an illegal pitch with two outs in the seventh.

Mitchell (4-for-5 overall, RBI) reached third on Roessner’s single to right and then came home with the tying run when base umpire Jana Tidwell ruled Katy Henry’s first pitch to Sluss was illegal.

Tigers assistant coach Megan Smith, who coaches first base, said Henry was guilty of failing to wipe rosin from her hand, which she applied before throwing a pitch.

“I saw it out of the corner of my eye and I started jumping,” LSU softball coach Yvette Girouard said.

So did Arkansas coach Jamie Pinkerton who argued with Tidwell and home plate umpire Ron Alexander.

“I have no comment,” Pinkerton said. “Whatever I have to say wouldn’t be good.”


Either way, great win for the Cajuns today.
