5 outs...4 by strikeout...Ricketts is amazing...need to get the bats going! Put the ball in play and let them make mistakes in the field.

I was worried about the rest factor. She only played about half the game last night, while Traina battled through all of it.
Yep, this was my fear after Ricketts struggled last night. I was afraid the rest and extra motivation would all play in her favor. So far, so right.:(

Silly question but is Traina our only pitcher? Does she pitch every game?

Apparently so. I was surprised she stayed in the entire game last night, with such a commanding lead. Looks like it's haunting us a bit right now. :(

My mom has asked that question many times this week. I'm not sure who is behind her. I've noticed that softball teams continue to use their stud pitcher, though.

Bama has one other pitcher that I know of, but they haven't used her that much. Pitching in softball is easier on the shoulder and arm than pitching a baseball, so they tend to use them as much as possible.

Bama has got to play small ball in order to beat Ricketts.

And it seems the girls do not have the same intensity or emotion as last night, which is understandable after the rain delay.
