How long do you want to ignore this user?
Surprised Coach left Kennedy in the whole game. Might see Munnerlyn start tomorrow night.
Team batting average both games .488.
21 hits and 19 RBI's.

Somebody at MLB.com was impressed.
The second effort was UNREAL on this @AggieSoftball catch 🤯

Is Rylen Wiggins on staff, or just hanging out in the dugout?
Rylen, Jazz and I think Brooke Vestal are student assistants. Ry and Jazz I could see in the dugout. I couldn't tell if Vestal was in the bullpen but I think so
Great to get out to park again. Hopefully Amari is ok and her not returning was just precautionary. However Frankie did her best to make it difficult to take her off the field.
I expect Lefty to start tomorrow against Baylor. Leavitt was effective not allowing a run in relief. Some hard hit balls but no free bases which has hurt her in the past. That was good to see. I thought Peters also looked good. Giving up a bloop mis hit and line drive homer will happen but overall I liked her first appearance. Again no walks
In 2 games tonight the staff allowed a total of 2 walks and no hit batters. Those free base runners can be killers.
I was surprised to Kennedy go 5 innings but understand what coach was doing. If you are going to give young players a shot on defense you need a pitcher with a lot of confidence to overcome any mistakes that happen with inexperienced defenders. The sloppiness of the 5th inning ended up running her pitch count to 84. So maybe a bit higher than you would have liked but still not a heavy load for player like her
Mac's foul ball looked clearly foul from my angle. If was crushed though.
Excited to see them in a top 20 matchup tomorrow night.

Thanks for the analysis, we appreciate it! It's awesome to have a great fan who knows the game really well reporting from Davis.
I am really impressed and happy for Mya. The Super last year may have been her wake up call. Eight RBI's on the night for Mya! We all expected Mac to produce and she did not disappoint. Five RBI's on the night. The coaches and players have talked about their power all Fall and we got to see it. Koko, Maya and Kramer all went 4 for 5 on the night. Freshmen KK and Frankie showed why they got starts. Great to see a lot of clutch hits on the night. Allie had the HR but that was her only hit in 6 AB's. But only 1 SO. She led the team last year so that's good. I really hope she regains her early season form from last year. But her play in the OF makes up for it somewhat.
21 hits and only 3 strikeouts on the night. And 8 walks. Only 3 SB's, thought there would be more, but it's only one night.
Kennedy was really good, as usual. Had 8 K's and only 1 walk. Gave up a few hits but that's normal. Leavitt was good in relief, as was Sidne. I am surprised Coach started Grace since she was normally a reliever at Ole Miss. I thought she would be a little better. She is not an overpowering pitcher but a contact pitcher and she will give up hits, it's a given, but 6 in 2.1 innings is too many. But this was her first game in Maroon so we'll see. Limiting free bases WAS a great thing to see. Last year was better in this regard from previous years but hopefully this year will be much better.
I was surprised Coach let Kennedy go the full game (if only five innings). She might start vs Baylor but Coach makes surprise changes a lot so we might see Munnerlyn with the start. Perhaps Lessentine in first relief. Or Kennedy in a close game. I am really anxious to see the freshmen pitchers but Baylor is ranked so will just have to wait and see!
Coach talked about the lack of energy in the first innings of the first game. She really got on them about it. Admitted to cursing them a lot. "This is opening day, how do you not have energy?!?" They responded with a LOT of runs. Great to see that they COULD respond so well.
Overall, opening day was worth the long wait since last year but I was surprised and disappointed at all the empty seats. Gosh, enrollment is around 70k. Waaaaay more than my day. But should be better for SEC play, especially for Florida, Alabama and LSU. Perhaps better for Baylor and later in non-conference Texas Tech.

On Mac's foul ball, our seats are directly facing the plane of the third base line so we had the perfect angle. The ball was over the fence so damn quickly I don't think anyone really knows, but from what I could tell it was extremely close and could have gone either way. If blue had called it fair I don't think Purdue would have had an argument.
It sucks for Mac because that was probably the most impressive hit I've ever seen in person in a softball game.

It was a great night at the ballpark. If my daughter is any good at lip reading, she saw Amari say she dislocated her finger. Hopefully, she will be back on the lineup soon.

The crowd was a bit of a disappointment given season tickets were completely sold out from what I could tell. At least they weren't offering any for sale and the only single game tickets were GA. I hope tonight is different. Big opponent and a Friday night. Only other sport on the schedule is indoor track

Attendance at softball and a couple other sports seem similar. We sell a lot of season tickets (which is good) but there are often a lot of empty seats. Last year our row was almost always 3/4 empty.
It sure looked like it. I figured she was injured and that is why they took her out. She is a player and they need her in the line up. I hope she is better real soon!

Season tickets are very affordable, so people buy them knowing they may only make a few games. I believe most of our row is athletic department tickets. We never have the same people there, and often, when we visit with them, we find out they are connected to the athletic department.
