Bottom of the 4th. LSU 1-0. LSU needs to put another run on the board to relieve the pressure on Smitty.
There is no doubt about that. The only way she wouldn't was if the title game immediately followed. But she will be ready to go tomorrow.
If she can pitch tree today she should be able to pitch one Monday. Three in one day is one hell of a thing to do. Hats off to the job she has done in the WCWS and on the whole season. :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:
Top of the 5th inning. LSU 1-0. Ok people. The first batter of this inning is crucial. A very weak hitter. She cannot afford to walk this person. The top of the lineup follows. This is the crucial inning.
Strikes out the first hitter with a 3-2 count. Wow. Called strike at that. Dangerous leadoff hitter out. 2 down. Now first and third with 2 down and their best hitter is up. Intentional walk. Bases loaded 2 down. This is it folks. Bases loaded walk. Damnit! 1-1 score.
one time i played in a soccer tournament which required that i played 3 games in one day. i wanted to shoot myself afterwards. that schmidt, she has an amazing arm.
A single brings in another run. Cheap hit. This umpire behind the plate is really squeezing the strike zone unfortunately. Another hit, 2 more runs score. 4-1 Cal.
