Y’all,

If you live in DFW and have any ability, you need to get up to Lovelace to see Trautwein pitch at least once before she graduates.   She’s the greatest to ever lace ‘em up for MG Softball.  Just on a totally different level.  I know UAPB is pretty bad, but to strike out every batter you face is simply incredible at any level.

Way to go Hope & way to go Mean Green Softball!

ESPN front page this morning.   Check out the "Top Headlines" column on the right.

I saw this, and when I clicked on the video, it showed her last out.   And after the final K, in which her softball was already in the catcher's mitt before the batter began her swing, she just kinda skipped off the field like it was just a normal win for her.  No crazy celebration or anything... just "met expectations".   She's phenomenal.

A buddy of mine in Florida who played baseball at Alabama and has no ties to NT other than he knows I love the Mean Green, is in the early stages of his fight with ALS. He has texted me twice in the past month or so. One was a "how about the Mean Green" text with a pic of Hamlet after the Purdue win. The other was the ESPN story of Hope Trautwein's perfect game.

His comment: "A record that can only be tied, at best."

Supporting college sports matters.

Was on Sports Center just prior to the Top Ten.  How this didn't make the Top Ten over your typical home runs and dunks is crazy to me.  One other note, UAPB's facility is horrible.

Googled "Hope Trautwein" and here is a sampling of page one's results.  Nice coverage.  The window to the university.

Unbelievable! Even if UAPB was 1-18, striking out every batter for 7 innings is insane. 

I'm really hoping Hope gets the nod against OU in a few weeks because it seems she is on fire!

Also, anyone notice how the field had no stands, just lawn chairs lol

Part of the Torii Hunter baseball/softball complex.  The baseball stadium is pretty nice.  I read where the softball complex is currently under construction.

Pine Bluff is my Mom's hometown.  Sadly, the economy has been tough on that community since the early 80's.  Not the safest place to be.

It is bizarre for its humble nature. It is a pretty good reaction to beating an overmatched opponent. Almost sports(wo)man-like. And it is one reason I really enjoy the ladies sports at NT. Very proud of and for this team and its coaches.

Really enjoyed the interview...best part was the fact she mentioned she had one more season left!  Great to see a woman athlete get some recognition on a national stage and her performance during the interview matched the perforamance on the field.  Seems to be another great representative for UNT.

this is amazing. the pessimist in me was ready for an onslaught of weird sexist comments in response to all this press, but she's getting celebrated as she rightfully deserves. Incredible performance. This is a record that cannot be beat!
