Now 5-3....[emoji16]looked away for a minute, now it's tied! 2 on, 2 out... tied at 3
edit... walked to load the bases!
Pretty much...So, a pitcher can "Crow Jump" now and it's OK?
Hmmm...
Holy cow! They called it!
They almost had to. Gorsuch's gigantic crow hop makes me wonder who's training that girl. My gosh it's a gigantic leap. Once the umps started calling it, she stopped replanting (the most egregious part that gives the pitcher the most advantage - a la Barnhill) but the leap was still very obvious.
5-3 final.
Congrats to Amber on win No. 30!
It'll be interesting to see who pitches tomorrow. Amber threw A LOT of pitches today.
Win No. 45 was pretty big! Hoping No. 46 comes tomorrow!
I can't imagine Amber pitches tomorrow. You have to hope the offense can win the game and if not Amber on Sunday...
It's definitely a possibility. But I would also guess Smith is itching to get in there against her former team and with a 1-0 lead in the series, maybe you give her the start, let her pitch at the least the first few and then if you're ahead, let Amber finish it.
Regardless, I'm just thrilled to have a lead in the series.
All hands will be on deck for LSU tomorrow, but I'm not sure how good their pitching really is. Based on what I've read online, Tigers fans were counting on Sunseri to carry them through the weekend and Gophers hit her pretty darn well today.
In any case, win No. 45 was pretty darn special!
Tend to agree. I don't think she realized how good the overall talent was in 2017. With that said, the NCAA (in their ham-handed statement), did say the team didn't have enough quality wins due to their schedule. But, it's all water under the bridge now.In Allisters defense with the schedule. You didn’t know you wer3 going to be that good. That was an amazing freshman class that really did well. Partain, Fiser, Lindeman and others.

Just remember, a team who goes 1-30 against top-rated competition is clearly better than a team who goes 6-2. No, we should never, ever, let that one down, it was a total travesty; and to get beat on the road to an SEC team by horrible, biased umping of all things just made it that much worse. None of those players or coaches deserved any of that. /end rant
But back to 2019 - man that was a fun game today, though the LSU hitters were scary in that they simply would not go down, and there were no easy outs. Good thing some of the bats were game today (especially Houlihan), because Fiser was clearly over-amped and missing on pitches that she normally seems to make. If Amber can settle down next time out, that would certainly help the Gophers' chances at beating a clearly offensively-talented LSU team.
Is this on tv? I have charter and not seeing anything.
