Game Thread Lady Vols Softball in the Mary Nutter Classic

[armchair]

What won't show up in the stats or in the live game stream is how OU really heckled Arnold. Nothing bad or out of line, but they were chanting her name loudly in the last two innings. It may have bothered her, no way to know, but she hung in there.

Seriously? That should not be allowed. Totally bush. Players should not be allowed to heckle another player at all, much less by name? Is this common?

Arnold is the real deal, folks.

I went to HS with both of her parents

Good people

adds flavor to the game, I'll allow it!

In other action at the tourney....#1 Florida State is down to Texas A&M 2-0 bottom of the 6th A&M is the home team

 

[Vols4life]

#18 Texas A&M beats #1 Florida State 2-0....in other action UGA is tied with UCLA 4-4 bottom of 5th

This game is on a different field than was the OU game. The restaurant will be between the field and mountains thus very little wind - the restaurant will block it. Not only will the fans not freeze to death, maybe there will be a home run.

Game time. TN the home team. Moss pitching, Mcswain catching, Lockman at DP. Same LU elsewhere.

starting lineup had vines at DP?

 

[LVJeff]

Ground out to 3rd, then bunt safe. Good bunt in front of the catcher, Mcswain has to get that, instead Moss tried for it and booted it.

Wow, 2 run homer over left field. TN down 2 runs.

 

[LVJeff]

starting lineup had vines at DP?

Correct.

 

[Vols4life]

I'm trying to figure out why Scarlet struggles so much with defense

 

[LVJeff]

When I said maybe a homer I meant for the Vols. On the other field no way that goes out. Probably blown foul.

 

[LVJeff]

Line shot for an out to Seggern.

 

[LVJeff]

Strike out swinging for out 3. UCSB 2 TN 0.

 

[LVJeff]

Up the middle is wide open for Leach - she needs to use it. Teams are playing her for the slap to 3rd.

She walks, so wasn't an issue.

 

[LVJeff]

Leach steals second.

Holcomb grounder to short for an out. Leach to 3rd.

 

[LVJeff]

Vines ground out to 2nd, Leach scores.

 

[LVJeff]

Gregg blasts one over center. Told you there would be some home runs.

 

[LVJeff]

Geer ground out to 3rd. Score tied at 2 after one.

 

[sccshortstop]

Gregg blasts one over center. Told you there would be some home runs.

That's my favorite player and our best all around player!!

 

[LVJeff]

Gregg sent the first pitch to her about 230 feet over almost dead center. A beautiful rainbow.

 

[LVJeff]

Moss - Short grounder to 2nd is beat out.

2nd batter bunts, Seggern takes charge throws her out. They almost double the runner off 2nd.

Next batter pops foul over 3rd, Seggern couldn't find it. Gotta have those. Then a called 3rd strike on the corner.

Moss hits the next batter. Two on.

Top of the order.

Strike out swinging! Out of the inning with no runs allowed.

 

[LVJeff]

Moss always starts slow. Not sure why.

 

[sccshortstop]

Moss always starts slow. Not sure why.

Last year Mattie always gets the ball and throws the ball. Since you have seen her many times this year is the still the way she pitches or does she seem to be slowing it down some? Arnold coming in and doing so well so far may have put pressure on Mattie.
