Softball vs. UAB (4/17 & 4/18/25)

[Matt from A700]

Mother Nature disrupts another softball series. With Easter on Sunday, and bad weather expected Saturday, the ladies will play one game tomorrow and a doubleheader Friday starting at 3 PM.

Tight race in The American as we enter the last three conference series. UNT needs two wins this series to match their win total from last year. I maintain getting a top two seed is the highest priority but we are right there with #1 FAU and hold the tiebreaker, the only team in the conference to do so.

 

Other Series This Weekend

FAU @ East Carolina
Memphis @ South Florida
UTSA @ Charlotte
Wichita State @ Tulsa
 

I don't foresee South Florida or Charlotte losing this weekend, so a sweep at home against UAB is almost necessary.

Good promotions going on this weekend as well.

Thursday @ 6pm

Friday @ 3pm & 5:30pm

I’ll be there tonight

Fell behind 2-0 but we may be taking control of the game here. Up 4-2 after four highlighted by a two-run go-ahead HR from Moffitt. UAB has already yanked their pitcher, neither can really throw to the strike zone consistently.

Conley is 3-3 after smoking a ball to the left field trees. 5-2 UNT after five.

Really great to see Savage settle in after giving up  a couple of early runs due to some bad breaks.  She didn't get rattled and pitched a heck of a game.

Conley didn't have a cheap hit.  She was hitting seeds all overt he field.

Moffett also had an earlier HR to put us up 3-2.

Defense played well with some pretty DP's by Sparks and Simon.

Let's get the sweep today

Wish I could be there. Gonna try to make it to all three next weekend, Mother Nature forbidding.

UNT wins Game 2, 5-4!

Fell behind 3-0 - UAB scored a run in the second, third, and fourth innings. Then we came back with four in the bottom of the fourth, highlighted by a two-run blast by Conley to center.

Anneca gave up a solo shot in the top half of the sixth as UAB drew even, but a double by Ausha Moore in the sixth set up a game-winning SAC fly from Taylor Platt. Kayleigh Smith pitched flawlessly after the home run and collected the W. Rylee Nicholson closed the game out with a stellar diving catch in center.

Second game starting shortly!

Great win....glad I was there. Team is so fun to watch. Let's get the sweep!

Kind of feel bad for Savage there. Some BS calls loaded up the bases and UAB ends up taking advantage. 

[GMG_Dallas]

I'll concede that the review at 1st was close but the runner going to second definitely left the path.

[SUMG]

Great 7-3 win. Skylar goes the distance.

Our team has now had 18 comeback wins......2nd most in Div. 1 softball (behind Auburn)

33-14.......15-6 in league play.

Three home games next weekend against USF.

If you ever go to a game....meeting the parents of the players....is an added bonus.

I heard Youmans say on the broadcast that Bearclaw and Simon were the first players we've had win back-to-back conference POTW awards since 2005. I think Conley made an argument to be the third consecutive. I think she ended up with 2 HR and 8 RBI this series.

Nice sweep. Pitching is looking better and it shows in the results. Now let's take down Texas Tech again.

Savage earned HM for the week winning two games with a 1.50 ERA.  So happy to see her back in form.
