SOFTBALL GAME THREAD - "and now for something completely different" vs. Weber State

[BulldogBear]

Elimination game tonight versus Weber State. Right now ULL is leading Baylor 3-1 in the top of the 7th. We will play soon after. If we win we would face the loser of the Cajuns-Bears game after that TONIGHT in another elimination game. Get behind your Bulldogs, turn on ESPN or app or whatever you gotta do to support them. No lineup as of yet as this one isn't over.

[BulldogBear]

Gone final now. So if we get by Weber State, we'll face Baylor again late tonight.

How far away is Kroger's?

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

Did you see the HR the Georgia girl hit in the bot of 7 to win it? Her swing looked better than half of our team. Men's team, not women's. She killed it.

Yeah they're doing look-ins waiting on our game to resume. I can't EVER remember baseball being DONE and softball going full swing.

It's seasonal of course, but I prefer some egg nog poured over it instead of the butterscotch. Try it if you like Egg Nog

If we win we have another game to play tonight

[TheRef]

If we win we have another game to play tonight

It's TBD now since they won't let any games start after midnight. But it's still possible.

[TheRef]

Okay. Game has been postponed until noon tomorrow. All other details are TBD.

[BulldogBear]

Welp, good night. Will resume thread tomorrow after early service

[Quaoarsking]

So if we win tomorrow, we play Baylor right after, and then if we win that also play ULL tomorrow night, and then if we beat them we play ULL again tomorrow?

I assume they'd move at least 1 game to Monday, maybe both of the championship games.

[TheRef]

Right now everything is TBD besides us playing tomorrow at noon, then the winner of that game will play Baylor 30 minutes following that.

They will play the first final round gaame tonight. So, if we beat Baylor, we would have to play three games today

[CadaverDawg]

I admittedly haven't followed closely, but what happened to this team? Didn't they start out great? Bc it seems like the last month every thread you've started has ended in a loss, and most have been us getting run ruled. Now we're struggling to keep from going 2 and thru in Regional play. Did something happen? Injuries? Just curious. Or were they just a victim of our shitty spring/summer sports this year?

Not saying Regional is bad, but at one time we thought hosting was likely, correct?

[BulldogBear]

K to end the game, 7th of game for Silkwood

Silkwood has six shutouts


FINAL SCORE:

Mississippi State 2, Weber State 0

Game 2 of the day will be in 30 minutes

Bulldogs improve to 36-20

Since then we've gone 6-10 with 3 wins over schools with a .500 pr better record. I would definitely say the LSU game was our high water mark. We hit well and generally score, but we really only have one starting pitcher and as the season's gone on that may some of the issue. Silkwood has pitched way more than any other SEC pitcher. Most teams have a lot of material to get a good look at her. I'm just guessing. I know if they figure her out and get to her we have to pitch by committee, two of whom are freshman. Toler can bring the heat for a couple of innings but then if they get ahold of her they often knock the cover off it.
