All Double Headers Ballcoach?

No, single games, 5 total.

Kin to Jim Nutter?

Big first day on Thursday. If we win both, we can go 3-2. I would love to be proved wrong and say 4-1 but....

Thanks - I see two teams now. Didn't notice that before.

1-4, maybe 2-3

Low-scoring games. Bats are going to struggle.

Pitching will be deciding factor

Dynamite analysis, Nostradamus is the Diamond!

Nice extra inning win...

I DiMartino goes 9 innings. O earned runs. Autumn Bishop and Hoffman 2 hits each.

Need to bounce back today after a poor performance against San Diego State who has struggled so far this year (4-8). Early indications are that DR will have to manage the number of innings that JD pitches so she can carry the load during the BSC tournament and post season play.

This game "turned" on 2 plays. In first inning, our first 2 hitters got singles, but we had a runner thrown out at 3rd base, in effect killing the rally. There's an unwritten rule: "never make the first or third out at 3rd base".
Then we give up a grand slam HR. Ball game. After the first inning, we only had 2 hits.

LU beats UC Davis 4-1. McFarland had 2 run single. Robertson had 2 run double. DiMartino pitched 4 hitter with 8 Ks. Flames play UCLA next.

Flames are up 3-2 in the middle of the 3rd.

End up losing 4-3. Played a good game against #3 in the country. Pretty impressive. That puts our record at 2-2in the MN Classic. One more game on Saturday?

Tough loss.

Played the Bruins tough! Jaclyn Amader's bat has come alive-a good sign for the Flames. If she can continue, it will add some much needed pop in the bottom of the lineup. She hasn't lived up to the hype coming out of high school and I always felt she was pressing as I watched her.

Jaclyn actually had a pretty good Freshman season. Last year was an altogether different story. My understanding is it was a combination of not being fully healthy all year with some nagging injuries and a really killer academic load in her nursing major.

I talked with a guy this morning who watched the game. He said that the girl who hit HR for UCLA in 5th inning had struck out twice in the at bat, but she received some favorable home cooking from umpire, said instead of 3 strikes, she was given 5.

Before the naysayers get panties in a wad, I am not blaming loss on umpire. I am just relaying what happened.

Flu again? That's the basketball excuse, wrong sport.

If my memory is correct, she had a broken finger that bothered her most of season.

LU trails 2-0 2nd inning. AZ State cleanup hitter hit HR in first inning. We have looked at 3 called 3rd strikes in 2 innings.

We lose 6-0, only had 3 hits. Struck out 10 times.

Ballcoach, what was our final record at my cousin's tournament? Were we over .500?
