    Look at the slugging %! Nothing is not to like in that stat line. Except maybe the lack of triples. Wait, did I just cross the streams?

    Thanks. I can't keep up with all of it. I did notice Batbusters were IDT, a different division, but I figured that was part of the overall Sparkler and not totally separate. Perhaps that is correct? I had a feeling Camoyl replaced Lewis. With your post, always jump in a teach me something I screw up.

    No. I didn't count the games she sat. She played in 12 games. So I didn't stop to think when I said the Batbusters played x number of games and won x number of games because I forgot to count the games Taylor sat. You can always be surprised at what the Batbusters do. They are so loaded, everyone sits occasionally. Without going back and looking, I think Taylor sat all three games this year against Carona Angels - Tyson which was strange. What they did with Reagan when she was there caused me ulcers. I knew she was coming to UF. She sat as much as she played which had me very worried. One game they started her, she hit a massive bomb, and they pulled her from the game after one ab.

    OK...another home run clip...this from 7/6. And I have to update her stats to 10 home runs and not 9. She hit two in this game and I missed that. Anyway, she pretty much completely missed this ball and it went out anyway:

    philygator: You have sparked my interest (no pun intended) with your post. First off, I didn't say what I meant correctly. I was asking if the same people that run the Sparkler also run IDT. That was always my assumption but might be wrong. I think so because I could follow the Batbusters' pool and bracket schedule by simply linking the Sparkler tourney machine. I admit I have slacked off some this year because, unless I am missing a trove of information, it has become too hard to follow all of it and, especially, the kids I am most interested in watching. There is so much travel out there across the country with quality players it has become an overload of information and hard to follow. Layla plays for the Lady Dukes. They do not broadcast their games or stats as far as I know. Same goes for Red. Gabi has lost me, or I her, with her seemingly downgrading from the Bandits premier team to a lower tier team in the organization. Your link to this Tagup thing was unknown to me. I will check it out. But, your post struck me, as I said. I get the feeling you know a ton about current travel, the teams, the players, etc. If you are not willing to give us an insight here on what your involvement and knowledge in travel is, would you be so kind as to shoot me a private message? I would love to have your resource to fill in the massive gaps in what I know and can keep track of in this ever expanding landscape.

    Does this mean Mickey Dean is also getting an extra year in college softball?

    Got it. To put it mildly, my interest in what you know is off the charts.

    Has anyone kept up with the Canada cup? Otis is playing on the TC Colarado team.

    So maybe you can go to Oklahoma and cash out NIL during your four years there, but come to UF and not only get great coaching, but an emphasis on academics so you will obtain a degree from a Top 5 school that you can cash out for 60 years.

    The emphasis CTW places on academics is another reason that fans can be proud of the program

    Really hope to see Oxley. Does anyone know what she throws or how she's fared this summer?

    I haven’t seen the western make up of the All-America team. Tyler, if featured, would be on the West Team.

    She’s a stout throwing lefty…look forward to seeing her place in the rotations.
