SB Championship: Louisiana 1, Marshall 0

[roarman]

Next year, Marshall will have to play three teams out of their division. If those three teams are among these four, the Cajuns, South Al, Troy and Texas state, they will have a difficult time going .500 in the SBC.

Catcher? Cajuns stole two against her today. Not even close.

Thought she did a really good job framing the ball, but your point is taken.

I’ll be honest, I don’t watch a lot of softball so my opinion needs to be taken with a grain of salt.

Sam made that big bad bEsT oFFeNsE iN dA sUNbELt disappear

1 hit? Sheesh

That one hit was just above her glove, too.

[RaginP]

Sam was DEALING today!

I think the points are legit but I'm not a big fan of bashing the opponent you just beat. It diminishes your, accomplishement.

I am not saying it isn't true, I am saying it ignores that your team might have been the reason they looked bad.

It was all Sam. She was on fire. Marshall had not seen a pitcher like her all year long. They did face Alabama, but Alabama threw their fourth pitcher, some player named Lauren Esner. Marshall's futility at the plate had a lot to do with the fact that they played the number 260 ranked out of conference schedule in the nation. So, against those teams they were pretty much hitting against high school pitchers. Sam is not a high school pitcher.

That one hit was just above her glove, too.

It was also to the number nine hole hitter who's batting average was .130. Just stuck her bat out. No other Marshall player put the bat on the ball with effect.

Good points, it serves little purpose. Plus, we were no juggernaut at the plate today with one run and only 4 hits against a good pitcher who had thrown all those innings. We will have to hit the ball much better next week.

I expected the crowd to be a bit better. Still a few minutes to go, but pretty light considering the circumstances.

Yeah the crowd didn't show up at the show down.

[JMV JustMyView]

People are way too comfortable to sit in those hot bleachers at 1 PM. Why isn't this game played tonight?

The games have to end early enough for the selection committee to determine the 32 at large bids.

[JMV JustMyView]

Where did the SBC find these announcers? Damn, shut the ____ up for a second, huh! This broadcast sucks. Can't even hear the crowd over these 2 yahoos

You should have been live.

[JMV JustMyView]

Marshall is definitely a better team than we all thought. They are a Regional caliber team, IMO.

They have a regional type pitcher only, not even close to being a regional type team.

Why isn't that tomorrow?

[JMV JustMyView]

Why isn't that tomorrow?

The process starts as soon as the last conference game is finished, the announcement is tomorrow. The process has somewhat already started.

[ragin50]

Why isn't that tomorrow?

You're correct. They could have scheduled it later this evening since there was only 1 game today. No reason to play in 90 degree heat.
