SUMG

Don't think she's hurt. I think RD is just easing her back into things...after that rough outing against the Ags. Glad our gals took care of business. MU is the worst team I've ever watched. Horribly coached. I bet you they bobbled 15 balls this weekend. (Like on throws to first or third. Even when we'd hit a ground ball single to the OF.....many times they bobbled it--allowing us to get an extra base (or two). Go Mean Green!

Up 12-0 after 1. Seems like Rodney held Cierra at third twice.....with us up by 11. Looked like she could have easily scored on a sac fly.....or that wild pitch. She did score later on a hit. I guess he's not wanting to run up the score?

One of the people who went on Twitter to congratulate Brock, and say we've got a good one here....none other than Darrel Ray Dickey

Yes. But not that that means anything any more.

Averaged 17.5ppg and 14 rpg his senior year in High School. The guy's a rebounder's rebounder. (from his Creighton bio) • Utilized his redshirt option. • Entered transfer portal on March 31, 2024. • Averaged 4.7 points and 6.0 rebounds in just 9.0 minutes per game in the Bahamas. • A rebounding machine, he snared eight rebounds in just under 10 minutes of Creighton’s exhibition game win vs. Wayne State (Nov. 3). • Averaged 17.5 points and 14.0 rebounds per game as a senior, earning All-District honors. • Former Houston (Tenn.) High School teammate of current Bluejay teammates Johnathan Lawson and Mason Miller, where they were coached by Mason’s dad Mike Miller. • Was also an All-Region 8-6A wide receiver on the football team, leading the team in both receptions and touchdowns. • Father Vance is the offensive line coach for UNLV Football who has also worked at Virginia Tech, Memphis, Georgia and Clemson in his career.

His junior year at Houston High School in Germantown.....he averaged 19ppg and 10 rpg. And he was a stud WR on their football team. https://slubillikens.com/news/2022/11/9/mens-basketball-brock-vice-signs-with-billikens.aspx

This is great news. I wanted us to get this kid last year. He originally signed with St. Louis....when Phil Forte was on their staff. But, like Layne Taylor with us, Brock got out of his letter of intent (with SLU)....and was back out being recruited. I hoped with the connection with Forte....that we'd get him last year.....but he went to Creighton.

You mention four tool....and that's right. She doesn't have the fifth tool....power. But last night, bless her heart...came really close to hitting a homer. Really close.

She wasn't hurt. Just lost playing time....due to being in a really long slump. (I asked the injury question to one of our reporters). Glad she's out of it........she's one of my favorite players. I do wonder why Tatum Sparks didn't play at all last night. Hope she's available today.

Great stat compilation. But can I add....Lexi Cobb drew 4 BBs in the two games. She's great at getting on via the walk.

Nice 15-3 win in game 1. (run ruled after 5 innings) Win for Wags...... Some great hitting.....Gamble with two homers.....freshman Maddie Conley with a bomb. Morgan Medford now hitting. 340...Lexi Cobb with three walks and a double. But the hitting star....Cierra Simon. 3-4.....6 rbis. Had a triple, a double, then a homer. Had another at bat.....needing a single for a cycle. With her great speed.....thought she might bunt. But she swung away......and grounded to second. Lots of subs got in. While their feed is all astroturf......I do like their stadium itself. Lots of chairback seats in the middle. On to game 2....Go Mean Green!!! Game 2 should start shortly after 7:30 I think....

At Longwood last season... 34 games played......16 starts 25 minutes per game 11.3 ppg 5.6 rpg 62 assists.......56 turnovers .374 FG%.......346 from three point land

Pretty sure that's the same high school as Aaron Scott.

Those two games Tuesday at Commerce.....I wonder if Rodney might play a lot of subs. And maybe give freshman pitcher Kayleigh Smith a start. Just to give some returnees some experience for next season. The games, at this point, don't affect us....since I don't think we have any chance at an at large bid to the tourney. Just a thought...

Rylee's catch....she made another good one later....but this was the best one:

Great 4-1 win today....by the Mean Green! Highlights: 1) Unbelievable pitching by MackWags......a shutout into the 7th....spoiled by a solo homer. 2) Up 1-0 in the sixth....when Kailey Gamble hits a really high fly ball to right.....that just goes over the OF fence. 3 run bomb. 3) Great D by all three outfielders......especially Rylee Nicholson in center. Had a highlight reel play in the first few innings. Molly Rainey and Tatum Sparks also with some nice outfield play. 4) Morgan Medford with three hits today....now hitting .320. Lotsa games this week.......2 at A&M Commerce on Tuesday, host A&M on Wednesday...and three in Memphis next weekend. Memphis is pretty bad. Last time I looked they had a record of like 3-25. But, you can't count as wins....until you beat 'em. Go Mean Green!!!! (Edit: Memphis is 4-33..)

Finale today at noon. Would be nice to win this series. This is a very good softball league. I guess Coach will pitch MackWags today....since she was so good Friday. If you're never been to a softball game....they're a hoot. The girls have so much fun playing....it's infectious. GO Mean Green!

Nice win by the gals. Some great pitching by MackWags.....to save the day. And some huge hits. Tatum Sparks was the offensive star....but some other big hits, as well. Nice to see Kat with that double. I think some of our bats are coming around.....Lexi has been hitting well for a while now. The drone show was superb. And that's the first night game I had been to.....love the little light show that happens....when we win. GMG!

Weather forecast not looking good. I bet this one is called off early today. (before the gals get on the buses for that long bus ride).

These are just team rosters for today's game. Injured guys aren't on it. If you go to the official site.....Zach Evans is still on the roster.

Lose 4-3.
