Bases loaded - no outs - we get only one run.

Our hitting is really bad this year

And now because of the pinch runner amounting to nothing, if we win it's going to have to be without Gamble's power.

Unlike baseball, the player that is run for can re-enter the game. 
 

We have to find a hitter to back up Gamble. There is no reason to pitch to her. Smith is okay, but a .260 isn’t keeping the opposing team from pitching around Gamble. I would be tempted to put Simon behind Gamble and move Smith just to keep pitchers honest.

Who is the hitting coach for this team?

Not sure. MTSU had a young lady from Austin, Amaya Harris, that has a beautiful stroke and can run. Wonder how we let her end up in TN. 

Correction: she is not from Austin.  Guess I heard wrong, although they have a few players from Texas on the team.

The Umps screwed us by not calling out that runner at second, which led to MT's first run. The game may not have even gone into extra innings if that dude would have made the right call. BUT... our regular season never should have come down to needing a sweep against MTSU. 

 

Where is this team? I miss their hunger and aggression. I want to this team again next week.

      UNT Athletics | Wilson and Jane Jones Donate $1 Million to Athletics Center Expansion Project

      UNT ATHLETICS: Wilson and Jane Jones Donate $1 Million to Athletics Center Expansion Project Wilson Jones is 1985 UNT graduate DENTON, Texas – Wilson and Jane Jones have donated $1 million to UNT Athletics’ on-going fundraising efforts toward the Athletics Center expansion project, Vice President and Director of Athletics Jared Mosley announced Tuesday. This $1 million gift helped kick start UNT Athletics' fundraising campaign for the Athletics Center Expansion, which aims to enhance the student-athlete experience through a focus on holistic development both in the classroom and in competition. The expansion will provide state-of-the-art facilities designed to support student-athletes' physical, mental, and academic growth. "I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to Wilson and Jane Jones for their continued support of UNT,” Mosley said. “Their belief in the power of sports as a transformational tool has made an incredible impact on our student-athletes. “Through their generosity, they will help us Build Champions and Prepare Leaders long into the future. Their commitment to our mission inspires us every day, and we are proud to have them as partners in this journey. Thank you for believing in our vision and for making a lasting difference in the lives of our student-athletes." The Jones’ gift is the 11th of $1 million or more in UNT Athletics history. Wilson Jones is a 1985 UNT graduate. The family previously donated $5 million to UNT in 2022 to create The Wilson Jones Career Center in the G. Brint Ryan College of Business. He retired as CEO of Oshkosh Corporation in 2021. Jones led the company to a No. 8 ranking on Barron’s 100 Most Sustainable Companies list, a Glassdoor Employees’ Choice Award for being one of the best places to work, recognition as a Military Friendly Employer by Victory Media and one of Ethisphere Institute’s World’s Most Ethical Companies, as well as a spot as one of The Wall Street Journal's “Best Managed Companies” from 2017 to 2019. “As a proud graduate of UNT, I have seen firsthand the power of higher education and the role athletics plays in shaping the lives and futures of young leaders,” Jones said. “Jane and I are excited to contribute and support the Athletics Center Expansion campaign. UNT had a profound impact on helping me reach my full potential, and we hope this Athletics Center Expansion project will help student-athletes reach theirs.” Jones was named one of the top CEOs of 2018 and was honored with the UNT Distinguished Alumni Award and inducted into the G. Brint Ryan College of Business Hall of Fame in 2021. The Athletics Center expansion will be completed in two phases with phase one focusing on space for strength and conditioning. The remodel will expand that area of emphasis from its current 6,180 square feet to more than 20,000 – more than three times its original size.

      Looks to me like the decimal point is in the wrong place - while still high, $30 for the pizza and $19 for the wings would be more like it. An intentional price override? Was anyone else gouged? I don't know if we'll hear any more about it...

      Great comment. I remember a few years back the coach at northwestern made a comment how one year he was Big ten coach of the year I believe and a year or two later he had a poor season and all of a sudden everybody said he could no longer coach. He turned around the next season and had a good one and also he could coach again. Lot of things going to having coaches be successful. Especially now when you can buy players it can make an average coach look really good and a good coach that can't afford the players going to look bad.

      What is this program missing?

      So in other words, you know I'm right and don't have anything intelligent to add. It's not my fault you'll most likely go your entire lifetime without ever seeing UNT win anything.
