    Holtorf had a good game tonight from what I was able to see. I was only able to watch sporadically because, apparently, it’s rude to stare at my phone for two hours straight while in a social setting lol, so I very well might have missed something. But maybe she got a much needed fire lit under her tail and knows she has to prove herself big time?

    Red to start tomorrow, pitches four innings, and then Liv finishes the win.
    You heard it here first.

    If we're going to make a run in the post season we need a 100% Keagan Rothrock. But for right now, I believe we need to use the other 4 pitchers in a mix and match. 2-3 innings each to keep the other team off balance. Hammaock is the most concerning to me because of her lack of control. But Oxley & Brown, with Miller could get us some wins and bring Keagan along in midweek games until she's back in full form. Is that how CTW will handle it? Probably not and he's the HOF coach.

    FYI.....Gators have the exact same record as last year at this point in the season at 38 - 10. Kudos to these young ladies for they have done this prety much without their ace.

    The first inning has been the killer for Rothrock so how about starting Red and bringing Rothrock in the 2nd. If she blows up, Red can return and continue your plan.
    Since you seem to be close to the program, do you know if Rothrock is physical able to perform?
    I would guess if she starts today, she is, and they are willing to take a loss or losses to have her for the post season. Appreciate your comments.

    As I said in game,
    IMO I think her coming back has been a mental adjustment based on abundance of caution and deciding what that is, especially on her part. She is thinking do to much and she could be out for the season. That's a big decision and it looks she just made it.

    Keagan was outstanding today.
    She was visibly tired, and I thought she was left in 3 or 4 batters too long.
    Red came in and was lights out.
    I like our spunk. Last night, the Tide put up a 4-spot, and we said, we will give you that and see you a 5-spot.
    Today, we let them come back and go ahead. We tied them. They went ahead again, so we scored 2 runs to win.

    It was fitting that Korbe got the game-winning hit.
    After the game, the commissioner of the new Athletes Unlimited Softball League came with a Golden Ticket into the league.
    It was presented to Korbe.
    Congratulations to her.

    You think she might give up her career as a thoracic surgeon to play professional softball? I'm sure the money is comparable. :D
