Softball

Lots of retrospective second guessing about why patty didn't hold coor at third, I think sending her was right choice, she's very fast and it took a great play to get her, give vols some credit they are very good. If she holds her at third and then we ground into DP people are screaming WHY NOT SEND HER?? Now I think you can question, even though we all know you can't question the GOAT, why didn't Dayton bunt with Coor on first and no outs? If she gets Hannah to second, she likely takes third on MM's hit and scores easily on Pickerings single. Yes she had homered, but she was swinging to slap not homer, so why not bunt?
 
I see it a little different… yes, great def play by Tenn… BUT…

Bases loaded 1 out… anything in the outfield gives ya a tag up.

Easy to 2nd guess as you said.

I was frustrated but in reality we are 31-2 top 3… with basically a new team/pitching staff. Not bad.

Hopefully we can get to the series. Sec is loaded.

Won today, win tomorrow take the series.
 
Well, down to 3 outs… took the lead even gave up 5 runs. Crazy.. you’d think our best pitcher would have done better, she’s given up 10 runs in 13 innings
 
We didn't do a good job in the clutch either offensively or pitching. Two outs and none on can't lead to a 5 run inning. But it did. Start with a walk-HPU was again very inconsistent. Grounder up the middle Garcia couldn't get to. Another walk and a 2 run double, then on the first pitch a 3 run homer- on a change up. We had gotten into the pattern of the first pitch was typically a change up, this one hung and the batter was looking for it. But our offensive woes are worse, we have at least 1/2 of our starting lineup that is basically an automatic out every time- you can't win like that. Fortunately not everyone has a pitcher like Pickens.
My concern is except for Garcia, none of the young pups seem to be getting any time- MM is a redshirt not a true freshman, although she didn't play last year she was around for the Natty. Are they just not able to break into the lineup or are they not as good as advertised? And several of our transfers are struggling to say the least. But its a long season and along way to go, hopefully we will pick it up. If we got Lowery back that would help. And hopefully the KD of yesterday will make more appearances.
