Well, whatever. It's a whole lot better than baseball game threads for sure.

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.

Winkfield catches an infield flare for 1 out and catches LSU runner of base at 2B

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.
