SB G1 Final: Louisiana 5, ULM 3

[JMV JustMyView]

That’s a good thing!!!

Maybe he meant the ball would go of the park from Roe bat.

[SlickRick]

Never leave early.

I did. But, I'm a idiot! Left after the 6th.

Kayla's double was clutch, especially after MH watched third strike, which was a no doubt strike from the beginning to the end. At least I was able to watch the last 2 innings on the plus!

Happy for Sam Roe. She's been getting hotter at the plate lately. Now, we need LC to do the same.

[ZoomZoom]

ULM pitching imploded in the 7th. Up to that point UL had 2 hits and never passed second. A timely double extended the game.

And Roe’s homer won it.

Good gutsy win, seized the moment. With only 4 hits total.

Here’s hoping ULM’s pitching stays poor.

[VObserver]

Veterans made it happen. Falterman with the game saver. Roe with the dagger.

Have to give credit to Tyra Clary as well. 0 walks, 0 hit batters, 0 runs after the 4th inning. She gave a gutsy performance when it would have been easy to fold.

[ZoomZoom]

Have to give credit to Tyra Clarey as well. 0 walks, 0 hit batters, 0 runs after the 4th inning. She gave a gutsy performance when it would have been easy to fold.

Yeah, 3 big flies have folded some pitchers in the past.

[UL_Cajuns]

Great Job Ladies!!!!!!!! Lets get two more!

Good point. Veteran also as a senior.

Well at least until the 6th you were sitting next to a good looking dude with softball knowledge.

When ULM put in their second picture and she was warming up, even I could see the crow hop. And it was pretty freaking obvious if I could see it.

Ian and Bobby mentioned that Ali had met with the umpire crew before the game and told them that they had picked up her tendencies on film and wanted them aware of it.

After I yelled at a couple of times (with the requisite number of punches in the thigh from my wife) other people started picking it up and noticing it as well.

When it came to the seventh, home plate umpire started, mentioning it to the pitcher and coach.

As a matter of fact, from what Bobby and Ian were saying, there is also a “pitching lane” that is defined by the rubber.

Bobby pointed out that the pitcher was literally covering up the rubber with dirt to obscure what the line might look like.

My wife said that blue spoke to the pitcher three times about it and coaches twice (or vice versa)

This was completely on ULM‘s coach. If she had pulled the pitcher they might have survived.

[ragin50]

It should have been called on virtually every pitch. She was illegal on all of them.

What their coach should really be upset about is cutting off a throw to the plate on the double in the 7th. If it goes thru, UL is thrown out, and it’s game over.

Complete lack of composure late cost them just as much as illegal pitch (which was blatant).

Softball talent (and depth) has improved dramatically over the last 20-30 years. Game IQ has not, and coaches at all levels should make it a higher priority.

Being most of, if not all the infield was facing outward, anyone thought maybe KF wanted to get caught in a rundown to assure the third run scored? She did turn the corner hard, obviously saw the run score and drew the throw to second. That’s high IQ.
