Whoop! This is the second time this season we have beaten the current #1 ranked team. This win coming on the road in austin too. What I can't figure out is why Cat Osterman wasn't pitching till the 4th... and she shut down our offense for the 4 innings she pitched. Any one know something I don't?

I agree, great win by our ladies. As far as Cat not pitching, this was the reasoning from their coach:

"(Megan)'s got to be able to come in," Texas Coach Connie Clark said. "It was more of a big picture thing. We were at home and this was a chance to get her into a big game in a pressure situation."

If that was her true intentions I can see both sides of the coin, get her young girl experience for later on down the road but you have the defending Big 12 Champs in town, the second place team a game behind you, a very capable team that the Big 12 race will come down too at the end of the year and you choose to not pitch arguably the best pitcher in women's softball in college right now? Pretty dumb IMO.

Anyway, great win for us and it makes up for that loss to OSU or whomever it was.

Teasip arrogance! They didn't need their best to beat us. HA. We put that were the sun doesn't shine. Gig'em

The sips there were saying she had a sore arm, which is why she didnt start.

They have other pitchers if her arm was the problem and why use her? Her coach said the starter needed the experience in a pressure game and at home was a good place to try. Another way of saying the Coach didn't think Ags could win on their home field-But we did. Coach Jo and ladies gave them a lesson in humility in their house.
