Softball vs uta

FirefightnRick · February 27, 2019

First pitch is at 6 tonight at uta’s Allen Saxxe Field. First of three games against them in four days. Gonna be a cold one. And will be a tough test.

UTA is deeper at pitcher than we are and they played #2 UCLA to a 2-1 loss. I HOPE we play well.

No need to apologize for not knowing any better.

Parker County’s finest Rhylie Makawe hit a solo bomb that still hasn’t come down.

5-4 Mean Green.

BTW Katie Clark is out of the lineup tonight.

Makawe with her second solo bomb. We’re down 7-6. Getting hits...just untimely hits.

Tayla Evans with a two run blast... Mean Green back up 8-7.

What a great game and effort by a short-handed NT team.

Goodrich in for Trautwein..

Otchonicki throws out a girl at third stealing to end the threat. Top of the 7th we go. NT up 8-7.

Extra innings.

UTA has 3 or 4 RBI’s on balls that never left the infield.

TAyla Evans with a bomb...up 10-9.

That's 5 bombs for NT.

To the bottom of the 8th we go.

Goodrich back in the circle.

As a father of two softball players, I love seeing all this interest in softball.

Thanks for the updates Rick. I’m “watching” the game on the stat broadcast.

Walkoff grand slam.

Good game.

This was a hell of an entertaining game despite the loss, 7 home runs total, five by NT on a frigid (32 degrees when I got back to my truck) night the north wind was screaming out to center field.

Problem is we kept hitting solos.

Twice Makawe was standing on deck while we had runners on base only for the inning to end, ...then she stepped in the box the next inning and hit bombs. No doubt it would have been different if the nation’s hit leader had been in the lineup.

Still it was also a night everything just went uta’s way along with untimely errors. Especially in the first two innings that saw them go up 4-0. I counted at least 3 hits that cueballed off the bat and didn’t get 15 feet from the plate. Just those squirrelly spinning balls right on the line that died and no one could do anything with them. We also had a Pop fly that hit dirt we lost in the wind and a bunt and throwing error to first. I can’t help but feel the cold played a part but that’s baseball.

UTA is good, and deep at pitcher. The pitcher that got the win tonight is maybe their 4th pitcher and one of two freshmen they have from California. And that’s another thing to take from this game is their stud didn’t get the win and ours didn’t get the loss.

BTW, just in case you think UTA isn’t serious about softball.
