    I wonder the adjustments in the line up we’ll see tomorrow.

    Well, with two outs in the top of 7, Tennessee hit a two run bomb to take the lead.

    Jocey played one heck of a game behind the plate. She picked off the runner at first in the second inning, dug the ball out of the dirt for the force at home in the fourth and made a great pivot and throw to complete the DP to end the fourth. She is going to be a good one.

    I want to see Hovermale. She was a highly rated player and I actually thought she was going to win the 3B job. I wouldn't be surprised if Goddard starts in RF. It will be interesting to see how Coach Walton handles the pitching, with 2 games tomorrow. Maybe Rothrock starts against Michigan, then Miller against Illinois State.

    Tennessee replaces their starter after throwing 1.2 innings. I wonder if she’s hurt. She gave up 3 hits with 1 run

    Barnard was ranked 11 2021 class Hovermale 11 2023 class AK 13 2023 class. Judging by Fall Barnard was strongest offensive and defensive of 3. My understanding is no one has won the position yet and CTW will be trying to use all the players on the team during the tourney.
    On a different subject Duke and UG both looking good. Jordy had a rough first outing w Nebraska. Will be interesting season I think.

    Pretty surprised we didn't see Goddard tonight.
    I worry asking ava to pitch and hit is too much at this point

    I think Ava likes doing both. Some athletes do better with both.

    It is a lot to ask from a true freshman, but Coach Walton said Brown is a special talent and it will be interesting to see how it plays out. There's so much talent on this team it's going to be hard to keep everybody satisfied. Good problem to have, but if any player goes into a slump there's always somebody to pick up the slack - except in the circle. I'm hoping Ava can develop into the new version of Lauren Haeger. She's going to at least be given the opportunity.

    We're playing Loyola- Maryland in Lacrosse. Softball plays Michigan at 2 pm, Illinois State at 7 pm. Neither of the softball games are televised.

    Oregon State just beat Illinois St. 1-0 on a walk off hit in the bottom of the 7th. UF/Michigan game should start on time. Michigan is 2-1, having beaten Illinois State 5-3, Bethune-Cookman 3-2 and losing to USF 1-0.
