Laura Dealer!

 

[kregman]

That will do it. D and pitching was very good. Hitting ok but not great. Take the win and run with it.

Has Bama ever been shut out all 3 games at home? 5 0 Game 1 and 2 0 Game 2. Elite pitching 1st 2 games. I know a sweep at Bama is rare, but would love to see it. Pickens a complete game with only 80 or so pitches. Bet both her and PG can go tomorrow. Way to GLV!!

 

[Volfan2012]

1 hour and 37 minute game.

 

[Vol67]

Pitching is peaking early and hitting is falling apart.

Hitting has been weak all year.

pitching has peaked the whole season

 

[Vol67]

Does UT swing at every 1st pitch. Just seem ultra aggressive tonight. Better than not swinging all at bat, but make the pitcher work some.

They do in phases. Sometimes they won't swing at a first pitch for multiple games.

 

[OrangePark]

lord have mercy mealer just continues to absolutely dominate at short

What’s your thoughts when Faw is the starting SS when the playoffs start.

Only Tennessee would have people complaning when we are number 3 in the nation, 1 in the conference, and just had back to back shutouts against a top 20 team scoring 7 runs so far in the two games. Get a grip.

 

[Volfan2012]

I guess back to Beaver tomorrow. I think we hit her better than this pitcher. She makes more mistake pitches. This pitcher kept the ball low and we were impatient swinging at to many out of the zone.

 

[kregman]

I don’t think Karlyn broke a sweat on a hot night.

1 hour and 37 minute game.

Close enough.

Nope, they've been really good all year but they have went up a couple of steps since the MSU series.

Last 6 games
3-0
0-1

9-1 (unearned)
5-0
2-0

ERA of 0.17 with 5 of 6 games vs ranked teams

 

[Aladywhovolunteer]

Karlyn was incredible. Great win!

We now lead Texas A&M by 2 games (in the loss column) and Florida by 3 games (in the loss column) with 4 games to play.

Really couldn't have it any better that they play each other in that last series. Florida loses tomorrow and we win they are eliminated and then it will be cheer for them to beat A&M.

That will do it. D and pitching was very good. Hitting ok but not great. Take the win and run with it.

The gloves at 3rd and short saved the game.

What’s your thoughts when Faw is the starting SS when the playoffs start.

I am a big fan of Faw but the injury hurt her and with Mealer showing out Bella will have to sit or consider a transfer next year. She will have to suck it up and beat her our or find another position. Karen screwed her by annointing her before the ball was thrown. I remember another stud shortstop in the next recruiting class or the one after,

 

[anecwnrjcns12]

Very good win tonight to grab the series on the road! I thought the pitching was phenomenal as usual and for the most part KP had every pitch working and s/o to the defense for making some BIG plays when we needed them. As far as the offense, would have liked to get more than 2. I think some righties were having trouble getting their hands to the drop inside.

 

[volman128]

Please give me a sweep tomorrow for my birthday, ladies
