Shocker SB at #4/7 Oklahoma State

[1972Shocker]

Sphincters tightening for both teams. Some easy throws just not find their target. But I think Sydney saved CC on that one.

Chloe time!! Great job by Alex

It was a great job by Alex. In fact, not quite sure why they brought Chloe in when they did.

I figured they'd hold off until Alex gave up a hit or something.

Didn't end up working out well

[1972Shocker]

I wonder if Taylor would have been able to get to that fly ball in right if she had not had to come in and play short? I guess we will never know.

I woneder if Taylor would have been able to get to that fly ball in right if she had not had to come in and play short/

Hard to say. That ball was hit to the perfect spot.

Either way, it's disappointing to get the lead and immediately give it up.

7th inning.

OSU brings in their ace.

CC grounds out to SS
Addie strikes out swinging at a pitch near the dirt
Taylor strikes out on what looked like the same pitch that got Addie

K on an off speed pitch. Baffled hitter
Mila catches a foul up against the fence.
Krystin makes the catch against the wall for out 3.

Extra softball ahead

[1972Shocker]

Addie was right on that first pitch. Fouling it straight back.

[SubGod22]

8th

Bailey goes down on a **** call inside
Lainee lines one up the middle for a single
Mila strikes out swinging at a pitch well outside
Sophie smokes one to CF for the final out.

Single off the CF wall. Addie makes a horrible throw back in and runner advances to 2nd.
Wild pitch moves her to 3rd.
Infield in.
K
K
single to RF and ball game

Too bad. Hindsight is always 20/20 but Alex was rolling. Wonder if the outcome would've been different if we'd had stuck with her. Good experience for Chloe.

[1972Shocker]

That's too bad. This would have been a heckuva win for the Shocks considering the lineup they were forced to play.

Highlight of the night was Alex's pitching performance. Let's hope she is back on track.

I was thinking the same. Didn't understand why you pull her there. If you let her start the 6th, you at least wait until she gives up a runner or two.

I have faith in Chloe but it just seemed really strange to pull her when they did.

This is a game the Cowgirls tried to give us with three unearned runs, but we could not take it.

[WuDrWu]

I'm going to take the unpopular stance of "you don't keep your best player on the bench". You bring in Chloe. And I totally get the argument the other way.

Too bad it didn't work out. Shocks battled short handed and were within a pitch of winning. Good game against a host/CWS team.
