Oh well.The only advantage walking her would have given them would be to create force plays at 2nd and 3rd, but with Amber coming up, and then Canneto, they were going to have to pitch to a very, very good hitter regardless.

Flames move on, 1-0.All true, JK, but you missed the part about the pinch runner scoring for the win. Freshman infielder Mary Claire Wilson #7 from Alabama has been a speedy pinch runner for us all season, and she scored the winning run after the Hudson double.

Jacksonville has RPI of 123.Saved you the trouble of checking The Queen, but since it's softball, I'll refer to her as the Ace, pitched a no-hitter against Boston College, and beat them again the next day, lost 1-0 to #5 Florida, and pitched against several P5 teams. Yes we beat her 2X in 2019, 2-1 and 4-0 with 2 of our runs unearned and Julia DiMartino pitching. I would feel more confident with her pitching today but I heard she may have graduated. While we have a better team than '19 our pitching is not as good as '19, theirs is. Biledoux's ERA is 1.26 and as a team it's 1.90. We need 2-3 runs to win as JU offense is not very strong. I think that will happen, Bishop's will see to it
In 2019, we beat her twice.

Her parents sit with the Old Men's Club, so we claim her as one of our own!

That would’ve been a reason to rather pitch to her.JK37 wrote: ↑May 13th, 2021, 5:13 pm Not sure how I feel about JU’s decision to pitch to Autumn.
