Trlicek in to pitch. Hightower goes 4.1 innings, gives up 5 runs, all earned, on 6 hits, 2 walks and no K's, a double, a triple and 3 HR's. Her ERA went from 0.00 starting the game to 1.42 now.
This weekend is a wake-up call for the Gators, as the 2 best pitchers we've faced have shut us down completely and the 2 best hitting teams we've faced have lit us up.
Humphreys strikes out, Wilkie throws to 1st to complete the out. Side retired. Bottom of the 5th, Florida needs the bats to come alive!!!
Roe fouls out to 1b on a 1-1 count. We're not even making their pitcher work hard. She's only thrown 28 pitches!!!
Now that she's completed the 5th inning, she's thrown 35 pitches. We're swinging early in the count and not making very good contact. Only 1 K, but no walks.
I believe we’ve been no hit for a combined 10 innings against ranked teams. Is this Oregon’s ace? We’ve made her look like Cy Young’s daughter!
For the "C'mon Man" on my post about their pitcher only throwing 28 pitches - that's where she was at when I checked the stats web page in the middle part of the bottom of the 5th. She threw 7 more pitches to close the inning and starts the bottom of the 6th with 35 pitches. Hard to believe, but true.
12 FO and 2 GO. I know Wallace is missing, but that's no excuse for the rest of the team. Until Delbrey gets back to form, we have only one dependable pitcher and she can't do it all.
