I just happen to be in town on business and got to go to the game, what an event to see in person and what a big win. Beating the Ducks in person, priceless!
Next up in the WCWS - Bama vs. Oregon...
- Thread starter TIDE-HSV

Now that is good man. Glad to hear you took it in. I hear watching the ladies play is pretty good.

Roll Tide! 15 Time National Champions, More BCS Championships than any school...
I actually like Tillman as a commentator. Of course, I also like Gary Danielson. So I'm a minority of one, catching flak from all directions.I wish he was still running for the Sooners rather than serving as a TV commentator
I wasn't able to watch earlier, but I just watched the scoring runs. Wow the second one was great...she knew exactly how to slide in order to not get out. It was close...but because of her movement she was able to be safe. WTG ladies!

Poor Oregon was put out in both softball and baseball by the SEC yesterday.

Thanks to Tide-HSV for posing this thread where it was actually seen. Great to see the girls getting respect.
I like Danielson as well. Spencer is good, he just seems to be a bit too much anti-Bama and anti-SEC for my liking.
I haven't seen many of Tillman's games, but what I've seen I've liked fairly well. At worst, you're a in minority of two because I really like Danielson.

Molly Fichtner, who had the RBI single in the 5th to put us up 2-0, was one of the Bama ladies who came to one of Little Catfish's games last year. I have a great picture of the two of them.
We've already taken two out of three from Florida earlier this season, outscoring them 12-9 combined (4-2, 1-7, 7-0).
If any decent team gets really hot bats for a couple of games - which Florida could certainly do - they can beat just about anyone but, with the pitching and defense this team has, I like our chances.
Yep. In 14 innings against the Gators, Traina has given up only two runs (1 unearned) on four hits for an ERA of 0.50.
Not too shabby.
And I haven't been keeping up, but will this be JT's 4th game pitched in 5 days? Or did someone else pitch any of the other three?
If so, will that be a problem? I thought they usually didn't need as much rest as baseball pitchers, but I don't know how much is needed. Four games in five days seems like a lot.

It does sound like a lot of stress on the pitcher & her arm, but, this is what they live for & is when she sucks it up to help bring home the Championship Trophy back home to Bama..And add to our collection of Championship Trophies along side our football NC..If her arm allows her to pitch,,You can bet ya backside she will be on the mound leading out team..No matter if it's football or softball..The will & determination to be the best is why she & all our student athletes comes to Bama..That's to win and push you body & soul to win Championships..JMO
It is not unusual in womens softball for a pitcher to pitch an entire 3 game series on weekend although you would like to have others who can take up the slack. UK's pitcher had pretty much pitched every inning of every game in May. The stress on the arm and shoulder is apparently different than the overhand motion the guys use.
Traina was somewhat off last year after us winning the championship in 2012 because she did not take any time off. She pitched all of 2012 for us, then pitched the US national team for 3 or 4 months, and then went straight into our 2013 season. She did either injure or wear herself out with pitching almost 2 years straight without a break. That is why Murph has been very careful about the innings she has pitched this year using Jury and the rising star Littlejohn to spell her. Murph also didn't let her bat very much this year. Traina is playing her best ball of her career right now in the WCWS.
