SOFTBALL THREAD vs. Houston Cougar (ettes)

[BulldogBear]

First pitch in a few. Starting lineup:

SS - Winkfield
C - Adams
3B - Seitz
DP - Toler
1B - Bell
LF - Niu
RF - Bailey
2B - Heimberger
CF - Ivy

And in the circle will be Knudsen.

No Silkworm yet, two true freshman in lineup. Very new and interesting Cohen, ahem I mean Vann! Let's go get 'em.

[BulldogBear]

I'm managing three young 'uns and doing the cooking tonight so first pitch is bad timing to say the least. Probably won't be very many detailed updates tonight. Maybe toward the end.

[BulldogBear]

No score after one inning

[BulldogBear]

Top of 2nd

3 up 3 down for Houston

[BulldogBear]

A true freshman gets the first homer of the year as Niu hits a doubleshot! 2-0 Bulldogs

[BulldogBear]

MSU 7, Houston 0

1 out, B3

RBI triple by Bell. 2 RBIS but caught in a run down was Bailey.

Nothing doing for Houston. Still 7-0 Bulldogs.

[Mjoelner34]

Thanks for the updates!

[BulldogBear]

Bottom of the 4th

After loading the bases, a walk scores the Dawgs' 8th run.

After four state leads 8-0. If we hold 'em her, game is over by run rule. Close it out ladies.

[BulldogBear]

One down. 1-3

[BulldogBear]

Base hit puts a cougar on first base

[BulldogBear]

Crap, Winkfield unable to cleanly field a grounder to shortstop. Cougars on first and second base, one out.

[BulldogBear]

Ivy makes a great running snag from CF for out number two. Runner from second base tags, Cougars on corners. Two down.

[DownwardDawg]

Appreciate the updates.

[BulldogBear]

Grounder gets through on the right side for an RBI base hit. Baileys throw to third base nit in time, run scores. Bulldogs lead 8-1 with runners on the corners.

[BulldogBear]

1-3 ground out in the inning, but the damage is done. Houston cuts Bulldog lead to 8-1, and so therefore play will continue. Headed to bottom of the 5th.

[BulldogBear]

Thanks for the updates!

Y'all are always welcome. I really enjoy it when I have the time.

[BulldogBear]

Bottom of the 5th

Amanda Ivy put out 5-3, but it was close

[BulldogBear]

Winkfield with a deep ground or too short no play, base hit. Bulldog on first base.

[BulldogBear]

Adams reaches first on a fielders choice error by the second baseman. Doggies on first and second.

[BulldogBear]

#Vannfail

Adams had not been reported back into the game therefore she is out. Wow. One out, runner on first.

[BulldogBear]

Seitz got out but I missed it. Golden at the plate, runner steals 2B.

[BulldogBear]

Golden reaches but I missed how, runners on first base and second base. Toler back in game and this time they make sure to report the player was back in.

[BulldogBear]

Toler grounds out 1-3

Ladies take an 8-1 lead into the sixth inning

[BulldogBear]

New Pitcher for us, freshman Megan Green

Niu reaches base before Bailey strikes out, runner on first, one down

[BulldogBear]

Heimberger singles to left, ladies on first base and second base with two outs
