After numerous phone calls, texts and emails, asking me to return, I have decided to honor their wishes. These people do not post on here, they just read the forums.
We leave 2 on in first inning.
McCracken made the trip.

At least we made the trip. Some people are too lazy to get out of recliner, and attend home games.

We use 2BB, a hit batter and infield hit , and a bunt to score 4 runs in B6, to win 4-0.

Julia went the distance for the shutout and only threw 61 pitches, which is nothing for her. All options are open for Dot as far as who pitches tomorrow. My guess is she starts Chase, but has a quick hook.

Welcome back BallCoach. Don't listen to the haters - they are just jealous. I would love to travel to all games. Thanks for the updates.

I would rather talk Xs and Os, but most want to play mind games and show their immaturity , rather than talk softball.

N Alabama got away with some interesting strategy yesterday, resting their ace pitcher, Garth, against Jacksonville. They won 8-5, and now Garth is fresh as a daisy against Lipscomb. I hate to say it, but the way Garth has been pitching, it is not that big of a stretch to think they can win this thing.

I would like to see batters lay off pitches outside strike zone vs NA. Batters swing at lot of bad pitches.

Countdown to ballcoach reminding us he has a job ( and apparently a very flexible and understanding boss).

Only 5 hits by three different players. Need to heat up the bats to win this thing.

We scored 4 runs. If we can do that the next couple of games, we will win it. We have lost 1 game all year when we scored 4 or more runs.

Some people go to beach or the mountains on vacation. I use my vacation days for softball. I have enough left for ever how far we go in post season.

So many questions to ask...
Are you guys sharing a room?
Does he like Burger King?
Has he loaned you any Mardi Gras breads, face paint, or blue latex gloves?
Can you both fit inside his box?
In all seriousness, welcome back, Ballcoach!

I am jealous you get to spend more time in my home state than I do. Hopefully it turns into a great weekend.
