Nt Softball Lose To Ok State

untcampbell · March 24, 2011

I got to see this game today (but was late and missed OSU's four run first).

We had two errors by the time I got there so may have been unearned runs.

The girls battled back and took the lead in the fifth, 5-4, with a couple of homeruns.

In the following two innings, OSU scored 5.

They were the better team but we played well. Excellent defense.

Missed a few scoring opportunities, i.e. two base runners with one out in the 6th I believe and one of the homers followed an out on an attempted stolen base.

Very nice facility. You could watch the baseball game (OSU vs Washington) from the stands.

A fan told me the stadium was financed by a $1,000,000 payout for playing Nebraska at a neutral site, I believe KC. Would have thought T Boone would have had something to do with it but the baseball stadium, from where I was sitting, wasn't as nice as the softball facility.

A sprinkling of NT fans among the 200+ attendees.

The OSU fan next to me said she had a crush on Coach TJ Hubbard.

Let's get back on the winning side this weekend.

They are going through a slump right now, but have shown they have the capability of playing at a high level. The schedule this year has actually been quite strong. We have two victories over ranked teams, and have played well over 10 games against them (which isn't a good record vs. the top 25, but at least shows we are willing to schedule them and give it all we got). Hopefully they can get on a run here in conference, get a decent seed for the tourney, and do some damage.
