After a pitching change by the runners in the top of the 5th Katie Clark’s big bat blasts a 2 run bomb.

Mean Green up 9-3 and we’re still batting with 2 outs.

UTSA usually beats us in one sport per year, except '17-18 when I think they lost at everything. It's looking like it will probably not be softball this year.

Poor UTSA.

WOW!  Welcome back Katie Clark.  She Looks comfortable in the 7 spot today.  Nice seeing her driving the ball again like that.

And that’s a final.

11-3 Mean Green. and our first CUSA series win of the year.

Nice to see the bats come back alive like that.

 I said two weeks ago that I thought utSA would possibly be our best nearest challenge in conference.and they sure look like they have a very scrappy group at the plate.  But looking over their pitching they don’t have near the caliber that we do.  That’s why it’s frustrating to see a day like yesterday.  We should pound every arm they have, and today we did.

Great win!

Next up wKY, who is 20-4 and has a couple of impressive pitchers.  

However they have not played anyone of note other than Troy.and Ball State(15-6), the Cardinals probably being the best team they’ve faced all season,...maybe?

wKY isn’t considered in the top 40 teams by any ranking services and has not played any team in the top 40 either. In fact wKY hasn’t played a single P5 school, choosing to instead pad their entire pre-conference schedule with pillow fight programs such as Lipscomb, College of Charleston, North Florida, Chattanooga, Tennessee Tech, Green Bay, Indiana State, IUPUI, Illinois State and Belmont.

Now, they did just sweep Middle in three very close games in their conference play opener but Middle is a .500 team and has played a pretty similar schedule as wKY, with the exception of getting run-ruled 9-0 against #13 Kentucky.

So on paper, despite wKY’s impressive 20-4 record they do not match up to us.  But we shall see?

The girls would probably be ranked this week, if they had not dropped that game on Saturday. Now it will probably take two strong weeks and a win over OU on the 18th if we are going to break into the rankings.
