Softball has some wierd sub rules. You can leave the game and come back once. One of the things it allows is so that you can be pinch run for but return for your next at bat.

Amanda Ivy
flies out, Nichols tags and "scores." But alas, although she beat the throw and tag, she failed to get a hand on the plate and is subsequently tagged out again.
Still 1-1 at the halfway point
BulldogBear
05-01-2015, 07:22 PM
Grounder
SS got feet tangle in baseline with runner coming from 2nd. I don't understand how that's not interference.
In effect, runner trips Winkfield so she can't make play.
No outs, bases loaded.
BulldogBear
05-01-2015, 07:23 PM
The only thing I might argue against interference is that happened behind the runner rather than in front, but they did get tangled.
BulldogBear
05-01-2015, 07:24 PM
Vann just tossed the clipboard and she's ejected!!!
She stayed calm for a while on a long discussion but something set her off!!!!!!

First time tonight, Bulldogs are retired in order on 3 ridiculous defensive plays. I wonder if it's just not in the cards tonight.
BulldogBear

Bottom of 5th inning
Jeez, this plate is about 3 inches wide. If it don't hit the catcher in the chest, it ain't called.

Final:
South Carolina 6, Mississippi State 3
We just dropped to 9-13 in SEC play as USCe rises to 9-13. Got our work cut out for us now.
If we lose this series and go out in game 1 of SEC tournament play, I'm not sure we make postseason.
Bothrops

Few players short of being good. Maybe the new facility can help us recruit.

I don't really know either way, but Vann has never had a winning SEC record (including an 8-16 year), and still hasn't missed the NCAA Tournament, so if our RPI is still pretty good, I assume we'll still make it.
