(SB) OGT: Sun Devil/GCU Classic February 21-23 in Tempe/Phoenix, Arizona

Otis lays down a sac bunt to 3rd. Moves Kenleigh to 2nd. 1 out.

 

Walsh coming to bat hitting .200 pops out to first on a 2-2 count. Announcers said she has 1 hit in the last 9 games. Gotta be pressing and needs to relax.

 

If I'm not mistaken, keagans big innings have all had a key fielding snafu that jump started things.

 

Brown up trying to help herself. But grounds out to first unassisted. Going to the bottom of the 7th, 6-4 Gators.

 

8-9-1 coming up for the Antelopes. Let's see if Ava can get the save.

 

Hindsight being 20-20....I'm not sure I would have taken the bat out of Korbe's hands with a sac bunt with struggling hitters to follow. But, then, nobody is paying me $600,000 to coach.

 

FO to KF .

 

First batter flies out to Falby on a 1-1 pitch.

 

The HR hitter for GCU up to bat. This is only her 5th AB for the season, but she has 2 HR.

 

Ava gets her to ground out to Cahalan on an 0-2 pitch. 2 down.

 

Their leadoff hitter grounds the first pitch to 3b. Throw to first ends the game. Gators win 6-4. Great job Ava Brown. 17-1, with Iowa State tomorrow at 11 am.

 

Me either ..she just got back to normal and was seeing it good.

 

Take the dub and move on! They all can't be masterpieces. Need to get Reagan going though.

 

This is what they did tonight and their up-to-date batting averages.

1 #27 K. Falby L SR 1-2 .462

Iowa State is Gator Bait!

 

I wouldn’t have had Otis sac bunting. Really good hitter who leads the country in walks as well.

 

Really good job by Ava

 

I was glad to see Ava come in and have a good outing. She had fire in her belly. Her change up had them fooled and under control.

 

I agree 100%. A .400 hitter who leads the nation in walks as well. Sac bunt on the first pitch? No way I call that.
