    Tim Walton really praised South Alabama's pitcher in his pre-game remarks. Said we have to get good pitcvhing on our side, plus play solid defense so as not to give them anything while our offense tries to figure out a way to scratch out a few reuns.

    Skylar gets thrown out trying to steal 2nd for only the 2nd time this year to end the 1st inning.

    Why send her with your big bat up? Next inning no one will be on for her which would allow them to work around her.

    Because she is one of the best baserunners in the country and you want to get her in scoring position

    Keagan must not be hitting her spots early today. South Alabama is a weak-hitting team who barely eeked out a 1-0 win over FAU yesterday. Already 3 hits today for the Jaguars.

    Mia Williams makes a great catch on a line drive, then throws to first from her knees to get the DP and end the inning.

    Just an FYI. South Alabama's 2nd baseman, Ordalys Cordova who hit into that line drive DP, is from Orlando and started out as a Gator. But she transferred out after the fall semester of her freshman year, went to Central Florida College in Ocala for 2 years and now is at South Alabama.

    3 up 3 down for the Gators min the bottom of the 2nd. Lackey has only thrown 26 pitches to get 6 outs. 1-0 USA going to the 3rd.
