Softball: Cajuns vs. Baylor

[axg8750]

I do not think Haley was off of the base when the ball was caught in CF. Her toes were in the dirt with the mid part of her foot in contact with the bag (heel above the bag).

So, on an instant replay and still shot it was that close, yet the umpire says that he could tell she left early?

Think he wants to be on ESPN that bad or what?

Jordan has found her groove. 3 more outs to go!

An insurance run (or a few) wouldn't hurt.

3-1!!!! Top 7.

Cajuns win!

Jordan rebound nicely form the beginning of game. Not to second guess coach hell we won buy why did we let Martinez bat in the sixth with runners on 2 n 3rd.

Let's win the championship tomorrow!

Why not bunt Walsh when she was up with runners on first and second with no outs?
Instead she strikes out and then Vincent flies out to right field which surely would have allowed runner to tag from third.

I don't second guess Lotief often but that was a poor decision in a one run game in my humble opinion.

Anyone else have any ideas as to why Walsh would not have bunted so that Cajuns would have had runners at third and second with 1 out? It seemed like a no brained to me. But I have never coached a softball team to NCAA WCWS eIther. So.....

My thought's exactly. I told my wife Walsh bunts here. Power or no power. You are down 1-0 so you get that run in any way you can to tie the game. The next inning we had the same situation, First and second and no outs and we bunt and got the run which gave us a chance to win....which they die. Small ball win games.

Damn, that was stressful.

I know nothing of softball, but from the causal perspective, looked like the ladies were shaky early on, but pulled it together, despite Jordan not being as sharp as she can be and DJ making some uncharacteristic errors. It also seemed like the home plate ump was very inconsistent. I was perplexed when we didn't bunt the first time (4th inning I think) we had 1st and 2nd no outs and elected not to bunt. Maybe too many rodeos with Robe, but glad they did lay down the bunt the following inning. Good game, fun to watch!
