    Base hit could end the game.

    In her defense, she was not thrown out due to lack of speed. She pulled up halfway between 1st and 2nd, apparently thinking the call was Ball 4 and not Ball 3. She turned back on the jets realizing her mistake, but was thrown out.

    Completely separate......

    Ava Brown was warming up between games in the "Pitching Lab" (i.e. bullpen). She had a contraption on her left leg which was basically two bungie type straps running between a belt and her shoe.

    Has anyone heard of such a thing? Does that suggest nursing a possible injury? She did come out to pitch for game two.

    Great play by Cahalan, might be ESPN worthy.

    Sounds like a VPX harness. It’s a training tool. Just a guess as I didn’t see it.

    Just Googled "VPX harness." That's exactly what is was. Apparently a training aid an no cause for concern. Thanks!

    She left high school early in order to be Erickson's back up, correct? So she's what, like 15 years old? Looks pretty solid behind the plate. Anyone know if she can throw?

    UF has hit seven homeruns in the last two games and surprisingly none were hit by Taylor. Someone needs to go to rick's house and remove all sharp objects.

    lol. It sounded like she barely missed two or three so that’s something at least. Bet she’s eager to go today!

    KSP update -- things look to be on time. Western Michigan just got run-ruled. FAMU police escort (sirens blaring for some reason) just arrived with the team bus. My money is on FAMU to get run ruled in the 11:30 game, resulting in our game starting on time. The Florida teams are playing last since its getaway day. Temperatures not bad, but there's a very cold wind.

    The stats tracker for the Samford vs FAMU game is not working. Are they even playing?

    I’m wearing a special Gator shirt today. Not because I believe they need any help winning but because I want Taylor to hit 3-4 homers so Rick will step away from the ledge:)
