End of 1 no score.

We did 2 hits in the top of the 1st

start top of the 2nd

End of 2nd no score.

Both teams go 3 up an 3 down.

End of 3, no score yet. Both pitches looking good.

bq, r u behind?

End of 4, no score

OK, top of 5th, got 2 on and no outs.

time to get some runs

As the commentators said, it's quietly gotten late in this game - it's time to score some runs, and this is a good opportunity to do it.

runners on first and second, no outs. we need to get some spots, here.

2 outs now. morrow at the plate

passed ball, runner on 2nd and 3rd.

Morrow walks, bases now loaded for Hinshaw

GRAND SLAM!!!

HINSHAW WITH A GRAND SLAM

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP

4-0 AGS

damn, i thought i was going to break the news

Wow.

**** YEA!!!!!!!!!!

hinshaw just hit a two out slam. woohoo

whoop! clutch

The slam was the only hit in the inning - made them pay for 2 walks and an error.

nice

Arizona using the same pitcher they used yesterday. Is this common?

gotta be able to make a team like arizona pay for their mistakes, they don't give the opportunity very often

sweet

Yes, all 4 runs unearned.

now going into the bottom of the 5th. Gibson with 8 SO for the game

Yes, it is common for softball teams to use the same pitcher several games in a row. Texas used Cat Osterman in almost every game the past 2 years.

The softball pitching motion is less stressful on the arm than baseball, so pitchers can pitch more often.

Yes...quite common.

This is my #1 knock against softball. A team can be quite mediocre, but can go very far if they have one stud pitcher. See Texas with Cat Osterman. They had no bats, but won a ton of games 1-0 when she was pitching.

Fast pitch softball puts little to no strain on a pitcher's arm. It is not uncommon for one pitcher to throw 60, 70 or even 80% of a team's innings over the course of a season.





If God is for us, who can be against us? - Romans 8:31 (NIV)

OK, UA with runner on the corners 1 out

runner scores, runner on 2nd 2 outs.

Thats interesting that despite the underarm motion there isn't that much strain on the arm. Do you think they've ever discussed rules against a pitcher throwing so often?

big out. Sharonda with a diving catch. they get 1

4-1 Ags top of 6th

OK, we go down in order in the top of the 6th.

UA has 2,3,4 up in the bottom of the 6th.

Time for Megan to shut the door on the Cats.
