Lady Shocks SB at McHaney Memorial Classic (Texas Tech)

U can talk to Jessica Hoppock about that one, ...

For those not in the know, Jessica pitched at Campus, and I believe they won State one year she was there. She threw hard, had a nice rise ball.

Shocks lead Northern Illinois 4-2 after five. Haley Temple and Jamie Hull providing the offense.

Haley doubled in the 1st and Jamie followed with a 2-run homer.

Haley singled in the 5th and Jamie supplied her 2nd 2-run homer of the game.

Breezy started and went 3.2 giving up 2 runs on 6 hits. Sloan now pitching in the 6th. Got the 1st hitters in the 6th then gave up a double. That runner scored on an error by Sammie at shortstop. Another sinlge and a walk has loaded the bases for the Huskies.

Sloan gets the 3rd out to hold the lead at 4-3 going into the bottom of the 6th.

Shocks inability to hold on to leads late continues.

Sloan gives up a double and single to start the top of the 7th. She did get out of the jam, unfortunatley it was by giving up a 3-run homer.

Shocks trail 6-4 with NIU still batting with no outs. Breezy reinserted into the game and gives up a walk before retiring the next 3 hitters.

Jamie singles with one-out in the 7th but that was it for the Shocks.

Shocks lose 6-4.

If its not pitching, its defense, if its not defense its hitting. Need to put all three together in the same game. Hope they can regroup and win the next one vs. St. John's. Go Shocks!

[1972Shocker]

Holly Eckert with a grand salami to put the Shocks up 4-0 over St. John's in the top of the 2nd.

That's 8 run scored on homers in 9 innings today so that is a positive.

[1972Shocker]

Shocks jump out to a 9-0 lead on St. John's and hang on for a 10-6 win.

[1972Shocker]

Shocks fall to undefeated Texas Tech 10-2 in 5 innings to fall to 4-11 on the season.

Next weekend the Shocks take on UT-Arlington (twice), Ole Miss, UTEP and North Texas in Denton, Texas. Shocks lost twice to UT-Arlington last weekend.

[Quick Pitch]

It is becoming difficult to remain optimistic, but I expect us to win 3 out of 5 in North Texas.
