Keeney looked solid that inning. Heart of order coming. And they're due. This pitcher keeps walking a couple....

And I realize this pitcher is their ace, but you can't tell me a program like UT doesn't have more arms if she is hurt or falters here. If she indeed has a blister I'm surprised they're sticking with her.

Obstruction is a highly debated rule, but if you're going to have the rule that was it by definition.

Ump called it immediately. Tough for catcher on that type of play, coming from behind plate on very short hit, knows the throw is coming in hot, so little time to get out in front of plate and avoid obstruction.

Huge run there. Up three, now just counting outs.

Great game.

Excellent witness by Coach Dot and props to ESPN for showing it, talking about it afterwards and showing the final final prayer with audio. Doc would be pleased!

Getting to a regional final and beating a 1-seed SEC school on their field to get there is huge.

And sheesh, ESPN broadcast just keeps pushing the faith angle. This is like an LU infomercial!
Liberty and Tennessee praying together after the game was awesome, topped off by ESPN actually showing (even if it was ESPN3).

Liberty plays one game tomorrow. There is no second game if they don’t win the first. So just worry about that.

Jmu is all that pitcher. 276 pitches. Break her and you break them. Easier said than done but those pitches are piling up.

Thanks for the message board link, Sly. :clapping You're the man!

JMU has lost ONE game all season. Will they lose BOTH game of a DH? I think they are due. The law of averages is on our side. What a story that would make! :fineprint :shock: :pray

My guess is JMU will go with their #2 pitcher in the 12:00 game.
