Alexis Silkwood in action again in the Circle

Hey BB, I want you to know that this is one of the threads that I truly appreciate. I have a daughter who played softball from the time she was 4 through high school. she played select A level ball from the age of 8. We played everywhere from Ft. Lauderdale to Los Angeles over the years. Consistently in national tournaments. When the scholarship offers came in, she said nope, I'm through, but I still appreciate the game. We used to schedule vacations around softball tournaments. If nobody else cares about these threads, I do.

Thanks. It's to good to know that! Sorry I haven't been able to update this one. Working over a bit.

But it's Bulldogs leading 3-0 after three innings.

Amanda Ivy with 2 RBI single makes it 5-0 Doggies in B4

She steals and goes from 1B to the plate on a bad throw

Dogs lead 6-0

Picking up action in the top of the 5th. Here's the situation:

Penn State batting

No outs

runner at first who just singled to drive in a run, cutting the MSU lead to 7-1


Cassady Knudsen

Attachment 1834

now pitching for Bulldogs

A little flare to short left and now there are runners at 1B and 2B

Grounder sneaks thru the right side, scoring a run

Now Bulldogs 7, Penn State 2 with runners at corners, NO OUTS

Meeting at the circle

F-6, Winkfield a step into the outfield

1 out, runners at corners

6-3 RBI grounder scores runner from 3B

2 down, runner at 2B, Dogs lead cut to 7-3

F-7 in foul territory, Loryn Nichols sliding into the wall, ends the frame

Mid-5th, MSU 7, PSU 3

Bottom of the 5th

Had to run to the restroom, we already have one out

Attachment 1835

Sarai Niu

BB

1 out, Niu on 1B

Attachment 1836

Carmen Carter

will run for Niu at 1B

Attachment 1837

Kat Moore

Nice single right up the middle!

1 out

Carter on 2B, Moore on 1B

Attachment 1838

Olivia Golden

Bats (R) in for Nichols, Bats (L).... Cohening?***

FC 6-5 to get lead runner fails as ball gets away from third baseman, Carter then runs home to put MSU up 8-3

1 out, Moore on 2B, Golden on 1B

Attachment 1839

Loryn Nichols

takes her spot back, pinch running for Golden at 1B

Attachment 1840

Amanda Ivy

RBI (her 3rd of the night) double, scores Moore, putting Bulldogs up 9-3

1 out

Nichols at 3B, Ivy (representing the winning run) at 2B

A base hit probably wins the game folks!

Wut??????

Nichols thown out at home on a delayed (?) steal

2 outs, Ivy (no longer representing the winning run) at 2B
