    Their pitcher has a great drop ball, plus mixes speeds really well. We're not timing her up very well.

    LSU just putting the ball in play and finally with 3 balls in a row that just found spots, they score a run. KR doesn't have a strikeout in the game, but has pitched realy well. We need to score NOW - top of the order up.

    As good as Rothrock has been as a freshman, it feels like she can still get so much better in the coming years.

    If she can start throwing first pitch strikes more consistently and develop a strikeout pitch, she will be unhittable.

    has got to get better for sure. I see her velocity is down from beginning of the year. She will get stronger

    I'm 72 as well, my man and love every minute of it - and these games!! What a bounceback pitching performance by Rothrock after getting rocked by Miss. St. in Game 1 last weekend. She mixed up her pitches and speeds and for the most part hit her spots, even though the ump was calling some strikes and some balls that went to the same spot. And what clutch hitting by Falby, Wallace, Otis and then Walsh to answer back in the bottom of the 6th. Great game and great win against the best team we've faced so far this year. I hope Ava comes out ready to battle tomorrow.
