[blacklistedbully]

Can also watch live on ESPN3 from a PC.

[godlluB]

Brick walls all the way down the foul lines with no padding, and no warning tracks. That ought to be illegal.

[blacklistedbully]

Dang, at least a couple of fine-looking ladies on our team.

Make that at least 3. 3 in a row at the plate look pretty hot.

[TXDawg]

Two out BB in top 2nd

[TXDawg]

Ground ball to end it.

Going to be a low scoring game. 2-1 type.

[TXDawg]

[TXDawg]

3K

[curmudgeon]

Owen is on fire today. Texas looks silly trying to hit her.

[blacklistedbully]

Owen looking damn sharp!

[TXDawg]

Thought the one in the 1st was gone, but it stayed in.

[curmudgeon]

Boot at 2nd base. 2 outs, runner on first.

[TXDawg]

Infield single. Runner on 1st for Horns.

[TXDawg]

Sorry, scorer called it an E4

[BulldogBear]

Brick walls all the way down the foul lines with no padding, and no warning tracks. That ought to be illegal.

Wait.. what? Is there no foul territory? That's 17ed up

[TXDawg]

Seeing eye hit on the infield (weird spinner past the pitcher). Lead runner rounded 2nd too far and got caught in rundown.

End of 2, 0-0

[TXDawg]

Their is foul territory. Just no padding on the walls down the lines.

[DawgSaint]

Thanks for the updates!

[curmudgeon]

The curse of LT. Louisiana-Lafayette has a facility 100 times better than ours.

That's the thing LT did that to me is the worst. Everything he built was as cheap as possible. Hump renovation in 2000, Softball facility, Baseball skyboxes. Even the east side of Davis Wade isn't really impressive. Volleyball facility didn't have air conditioning for two years that they played there.

[ScoobaDawg]

WE WILL NOT MOVE.... Hit by pitch

[TXDawg]

K, then HBP to start the 3rd.

Plans are already made and have been announced if you didnt know. yes but F*** LT every day for everything. He was horrible.

[curmudgeon]

Plans have been announced for a softball/tennis improvement, but they are on hold - no money.

[TXDawg]

Line out to CF. 2 down, runner on 1st.

[BulldogBear]

Their is foul territory. Just no padding on the walls down the lines.

Gotcha

[TXDawg]

K to end out half of the 3rd. Runner stranded on 1st.

Mid 3, 0-0

[curmudgeon]

A little lazy or the Texas girl was faster than she looked on that one. 1 out.

[TXDawg]

Ground out to second to start the 3rd for the horns

[TXDawg]

Another K for Owen. 2 outs

[blacklistedbully]

Damn! 2-out HR to center on a slap hit.

[ScoobaDawg]

and theres the homerun.

and another hit...double.

[TXDawg]

Got jobbed by blue on a ball that hit the batter when she was out if the box. Should have been third out. Next pitch, HR.

Home plate ump would not allow appeal to first base ump.

[blacklistedbully]

Followed by a hard-hit double.

[curmudgeon]

need to get out of this without giving up the second run.

[blacklistedbully]

Walk. Runners on 1st & 2nd.

[TXDawg]

Runner caught stealing.

End of three. Dawgs down 1-0

[curmudgeon]

Good pickoff from the catcher. Runner was toast. Get the run back.

[blacklistedbully]

Damn, our catcher is good!

[blacklistedbully]

Runner caught stealing.

End of three. Dawgs down 1-0

caught stealing, or was she caught taking too big of a lead? Our catcher threw behind her to second, so I think she took off for 3rd knowing she was toast if she tried to go back. That, or she was daring our catcher to throw knowing she go for a delayed steal.

[TXDawg]

Great play by Lenahan to throw behind runner at second. Runner caught napping and got picked off.

[TXDawg]

Caught napping, I guess. Trying to post quick updates and keep my eyes on two kids at the game. :)

[curmudgeon]

Church league popup. 1 out.

[TXDawg]

UT's pitcher has a NASTY change up!! Has fooled at least 3-4 hitters with it already.

[curmudgeon]

Stand up double. 1 out

[TXDawg]

Foulkes busted that change up for a double. Need to string a couple together now.

[ScoobaDawg]

BIG double by Amanda Foulks... get her in!!! 2 strike hitting

[preachermatt83]

This butter face pitcher is either nasty or awful. She just bounced a ball to the plate and soared one a while ago.

But alas, another K. Eight outs to go

[TXDawg]

K in the change to start the 5th

[blacklistedbully]

Single elimination?

[Bully13]

Beautiful day in Lafayette. Game about to start.

Lady Dawgs are visitors.

Owen starting in the circle.

damnit. I thought I had fallen asleep for 2 weeks, fast forwarded into the future for our regional. there should be a rule when this drivel is posted. "TITTY DOGS". "Lafayette Titty Regional"... give us a reach around or something when these useless threads are started.

[TXDawg]

Line out to 1B

[TXDawg]

I love and support everything about Mississippi State University, if you don't, that's fine but don't waste space posting on threads like this one.

[TXDawg]

Ground out to P

Going to Bottom 6, Horns lead 1-0

[curmudgeon]

Same format as baseball. 4 team double elimination. Hard to come back from first round loss. Almost impossible on the road at a national seed.

Here! Here! Love our Lady Dawgs, and have come to love fastpitch softball.

[curmudgeon]

Of all the women's sports, softball is the closest thing to enjoyable.

[TXDawg]

E5. Runner on 1st for Horns. No outs.

[TXDawg]

FC to P, got the lead runner.

Followed by fly out to left.

Two down, runner on first.

[curmudgeon]

3 quick outs after the E5. Last three outs.

[TXDawg]

Ground out to first.

Top of 7. Dogs need one run to tie.

[bobcat91]

Vann is a great coach and we are building this program but its time for Scott to step up. We need the new softball complex built, yes the one he promised her when she was hired We can excel in this sport but need the facilities. We actually had to turn down hosting the SEC tourney because our facility isn't ready. That is a terrible reflection on us.

[curmudgeon]

Leadoff single.

[TXDawg]

Infield hit to start things off.

[ScoobaDawg]

Bailey with a leadoff single grounder in left field. GOt a chance....

[curmudgeon]

What's the policy on bunting in softball?

[CadaverDawg]

Softball needs to find a way to promote more scoring IMO. Just my $.02. Go Dawgs

[TXDawg]

Slap bunt to advance runner.

One down.

[curmudgeon]

Sac bunt. runner at 2nd, 1 out.

[TXDawg]

Pinch hitter. Tuller for "Wink"

[curmudgeon]

Bringing in the big girl to pinch hit.

[curmudgeon]

RISP:

MSU 0-5
Texas hasn't had an opportunity.

Big girl looks hungry.

[curmudgeon]

How many three ball counts has this girl had with only one walk?

[TXDawg]

Pinch hitter K's

[TXDawg]

Another PH now.

[curmudgeon]

Pitcher has balls. I wouldn't have thrown that pitch to her in that situation.

2 outs, runner on second.

[curmudgeon]

Another PH - this one with a .120 average.

[curmudgeon]

Good game. Just ran into a pitcher that was on fire.

The only Texas player to touch second base was the home run. 1-0 loss sucks.

[TXDawg]

K on the change up.

Dawgs lose 1-0

[Barkman Turner Overdrive]

Of all the women's sports, softball is the closest thing to enjoyable.

I disagree. Women's beach volleyball is quite enjoyable.

[TXDawg]

Good game. Just ran into a pitcher that was on fire.

The only Texas player to touch second base was the home run. 1-0 loss sucks.

Actually, two others reached 2nd, but both were out on base running mistakes. One rounded 2nd too far and was thrown behind and was trapped in a rundown. The other took too big of a lead off second and Lenahan threw behind her to catch her in a rundown.

[BulldogBear]

Disappointing loss. Didn't wanna have to face ULL having to win twice. Now it's almost guaranteed if we even get past TSU (probably) and TX again. Maybe TX gets lucky and knocks 'em off. If we can eliminate them I'd feel better having to face TX twice than ULL twice.
