Silkwood has been called for this about a half a dozen times this year: the pitcher's trailing foot has to remain in contact with the ground until after she releases the ball. An illegal pitch works like a balk sort of, can nullify a strike out or a put out. Silkwood has a jump in her pitching motion that Vann will need to work on in the off-season. There has probably been at least 2 dozen or more pitches she has thrown that I have seen that haven't been called. It is pretty ticky-tack to say the least.

It seems sometimes they'll call the pitch a ball, but if the runner put the ball in play it will indeed nullify a put out. It did in the 2nd inning of this game at least.

Well I don't know how it's ticky-tack since everybody from 10U knows you can't crow hop. To me the issue is that in softball they let girls get away with IP so much more than boys. Everybody remembers when we had balk games trying to learn in little league and they do the girls a disservice in not enforcing the rules closer in 12U and lower. If boys can learn to pitch legally so can the girls. And I've seen older girls called for it and immediately start pitching legally with no problems. So they knew they were skirting the rules. Now the young girls would mess them up for a while but boys do it and learn quickly. Now the flip side is the true replant is a competitive advantage that should be enforced stronger and the penalty should be changed in softball. Some girls are generating so much power when they leave the rubber it causes that back foot to lift higher than it should but they are not really replanting. Also, the issue that in international competition it's different rule and the lifting is not illegal. That should be a rule that is the same in college. The girl from Baylor?? I think has a big flap on her shoe which I think should have been stopped the first pitch she threw. With Silkwood, I like her and obviously support our team but she gets awful close to replant for me and that needs to be addressed.
ETA. The other big issue I have with IP's is the umps having no clue about what is really and IP, no consistency in calling it, and on the enforcement a lot of them mess up that call as well. Same with slappers who are actually drag bunting with 2 strikes and it goes foul and are sometimes way out of the batters box when they make contact. Softball umps, even at the college level, have some big issues.

Appreciate the info. I don't know much about the technical aspects but I do love watching these gals compete. The play by play announcers Monday night didn't really make a big deal out of it but did replay it a couple of times and showed another pitch or two where she was close to being illegal.

Weird play. Ground foul, but may have been touched by batter before hand. Anyway, call is foul ball down 1B line. Would have been out 2, but scored runner.
Grounder off Silkwood's glove scores runner
Another wierd play. LSU runner at 1B seemed to round 1B toward 2nd. Echols applied tag but called safe.

Got the skinny on the schedule. Only 13 SEC schools support softball. Vandy has no team. You rotate through all opponents because there are no protected rivalries nor divisions. Last year we didn't even play Ole Miss for instance. So. Some schedule these little matchups. We don't play LSU in conference play this year.

Thanks, it's something I really enjoy doing when I actually can sit down and do it right. About half of the portraits don't seem to load right or something though because you end up having to click on about half of them, at least on my computer and phone.
I got a lot more interested in softball when my daughter started playing!! Now, I can get it into it more than I thought I ever would have.
