Weather forecast for Knoxville is better now than it was a few days ago. Showing rain ending about 10 am Saturday. This is a huge opportunity for the Gators to make a statement.
Haven't been there in a few years -- this is the stadium where the trains roll past left field, right? We need you to provide color commentary and atmospherics!

Interesting that Kistler is out of the lineup today after being removed early in the USF games. Wilkie has an opportunity to prove herself.
Echols K was the key out. Just needed to put it in play. She hasn't gotten the clutch hits lately that we r used to.
Yep - She struck out in the first on a ball that was 2 feet outside and then just now popped up on a 3-2 count on a ball that was up in her eyes.
Early in the season she was getting strikes called low and away, probably frustrating her. Now she seems to have expanded her strike zone and swinging at pitches that aren't strikes.
