Mary Nutter Classic
- Thread starter sybarite
- Start date
Sierra Lawrence, not Romero. They also got a two-out single to make it 4-0. Tough team for Kelsey.3-0 in the top of 3rd after homer by Sierra.
Oops! I just heard Sierra on radio. You're right, there are 2 Sierra's! Both good too!
Third starts well: Romero double, Arnold single to shallow center.
Two-run single by Erin Miller cuts it to 4-2.
Wodach walks.
Aviu pops out on a bunt attempt
Knighten hits a three run home run, OU leads 5-4. Fielder caught it but lost it as she tumbled over the fence, like what happened to Aviu yesterday except that she didn't drop it. Long one to right center.
Self lines to center.
Didn't hear the last out. 5-4 after four.

Three up, three down for Stevens in the fourth, two by strikeout.
Knighten is starting out her career as though she wanted to be a slugger. I think that is three for her.
Leadoff home run by Nicole Pendley that one-hopped the baseball field.
OU 6-4 after 4.

A two run single by Sierra Romero is followed by a three-run home run, by Susalia 12-7. That's all for Stevens. Jayden Chestnut warming up.
We had two rather weak defensive plays by Arnold and Romero that loaded the bases to set the table.
Chestnut is greeted by a single and a home run.
Eleven batters for Michigan in the sixth, 14-7.

We did allow ten. When you allow that many runs, usually there are some walks, hit batters, errors, or misplays. Today, I don't think we were charged with an error. But, there were several misplays in the field that helped generate those last nine runs. Without them, we might have gotten out of the innings. Our defense is young. But, Pendley seems more indecisive this year.
I thought pitching would be our strong point early this year and would carry us until hitting youth came around. I thought Kelsey did well considering #2 team and national runner-ups last year. I didn't get to hear the inning with the 7 runs scored by Mich. But the freshmen relievers didn't appear too strong. This may be a rebuilding year.
Plank is a foul ball in the high weeds. Very aggravating to listen to.
Random thoughts: We seem to have trouble throwing strikes consistently. First pitch is a ball about 70% of the time. Puts us behind the hitter. Finney is good in stretches but I think will be a killer with experience. We leave too many hitters on base. Need clutch hitting. Coach should be telling the hitters to just get the bat on the ball-dont just stand there without swinging at strikes. Good job by Chestnut. A few mental errors that demonstrate that at this level they really cost you.
