Run rule/shortened game would be nice.

The way we've been playing lately?

I missed the start of the game.  Saw that Childers didn't make it out of the first again.  Anyone see it?  Was she wild again?

 

Game over.  Good Girls win, 7-1.  Advance to play ECU tomorrow at noon.  ECU upset UAB, shutting them out 4-0 in the first game of the day.

Edit:  Looking at the box score, I see Childers only faced one batter throwing 5 pitches.  Is she injured?

Not injured, just no control and apparently Delong is not risking her being in the game when she can't throw consistent strikes.

Her confidence is shot right now.  That young lady has a lively arm and electric stuff when she is on.  She should be working with the pitching coach daily, because she is one hell of a pitcher.  She just needs to trust her stuff and not overthrow.

Her previous game.....against Charlotte was a dandy. 6 innings of 1 run ball. Skylar came in, in relief and lost the game in the 7th....2-1. So Mackenzie has pitched well.....very recently.

I had forgotten about that. I just hope she is good mentally.

I feel like she just needs to trust her stuff. She throws hard and spins the ball at an incredible rate, but it appears in the big games she thinks she needs a little extra, and the ball gets away from her.

It's almost a little like Nuke Laloosh in Bull Durham. Her brain gets in the way. There aren’t many with better stuff than her. She needs a little Skylar in her. Savage steps up in the big games and is just, well, savage. Just a bulldog on the mound. Childers needs to find her inner savage, trust her stuff and just pitch. 

Love how aggressive the offense was today. Put the ball in play coupled with smart, aggressive base running made me think of the team of two years ago. I have a good feeling about this tournament.

Things are going UNT's way so far. Obviously the two wins, but the bats are somewhat alive, 16 runs and only 3 off of 2 homers I believe. Hopefully we can catch Charlotte cold in a winner-take-all game tomorrow against a team we should have won 2 of 3 against last weekend.

Meanwhile, Tulsa doubling up the hometown WSU team, 8-4 in the 5th. Winner of that game plays FAU.

It looked like one of our players may have got hurt (leg or ankle?) near the dugout during the postgame celebration on the field?  I couldn't see who it was or had bad it was.

Tulsa fell apart with errors and lost 11-9 to WSU.

Yeah it seems Tulsa has blown a lot of leads this year. We have too but Tulsa's blown leads seemed bigger. Now FAU has to play after a week off against the home team who has scored 24 runs in 2 games. Barnard has hit like four homers lol.

Down 2-0 in the bottom of the third....Charlotte still batting. 

With Charlotte throwing their great pitcher Barefoot......I don't like our chances.

Prove me wrong, girls.

Just isn't our day. So far anyway. 

They've robbed us of several runs with superb defensive plays.

Down 2-0 late....

One hit, and a 3-0 shutout loss to Charlotte.  Rodney needs to recruit better hitters. We bow out without much of a fight against good pitching consistently.

CLT caught two NT homers at the top of the outfield wall.  Otherwise we win this game 5-3.

I saw the almost grand slam. Bottom line, they made plays, we didn't. We should not be one hit in a game like that.

Agree.  We need more pitching too.  Excellent pitching is what elite teams have.  We had one and she got bought by OU.  We need more.

Today they got run-ruled themselves by Charlotte 10-1.

Charlotte advances.

How many teams make the field?

Pretty sure it's 64. 16 regionals, with 4 teams at each regional.

    1. 7

      McNeese State (11/18/24)

      I would like them to be good enough to be Quad 1 but not too good to get Will Wade hired away because they're our only home game on the books for next year lol.

      UTSA Game Poll

      UTSA is 4-0 at home and 0-5 away for 4-5 overall. NT is 3-2 at home and 2-2 away for 5-4 overall. They haven't gone thru the 3 game gauntlet NT has. Homer says we'll win by 14.

      Around the League / UNT Opponents

      figure one main thread to keep track of how our opponents are faring. the AAC is off to a pretty strong start...overall record of 29-7. plus currently Oregon State, High Point and Utah State / St. Bonaventure are all 3-0 - Memphis (2-0) with two quality wins v. Mizzou and UNLV. they should be undefeated (though San Francisco isn't a gimmie) heading into a 11/25 game with UCONN. - UAB (2-1)...I thought their loss to Vermont wouldn't look too bad, but UV has two pretty ugly losses now. really intriguing game tomorrow 11/15 v. High Point - FAU (2-1) look tough...their loss was by 6 to UCF who already beat then 13th A&M. - the other undefeated teams, ECU (3-0), Temple (3-0), Tulane (3-0), Tulsa (3-0), Wichita St. (2-0) collectively really haven't played much of a schedule...best win is probably WSU over WKU...but they've made pretty light work of what's in front of them. Games of interest over the next week or so: 11/14 - Northern Iowa @ Wichita State 11/15 - UAB @ HighPoint ; Temple @ Boston College ; FAU v. Charlston and Liberty (11/16) 11/21 - Memphis @ San Francisco ; FAU v. Oklahoma State (3 day tourney...would play Miami or Drake next)

      McNeese State (11/18/24)

      Sure but how good is Charlotte? They beat Richmond who lost to Marist. Utah State's other D1 win is against 0-3 Alcorn State who lost to an NAIA school. Again too early to really tell either way.

      McNeese State (11/18/24)

      they dropped 100 on a conference mate. currently 47 in KenPom. Memphis is at 37 and currently our highest rated opponent.
