(new) Game Three

Houston Baptist v Shockers

The lineup is Sydney, Addie, Neleigh, Lolo, Zoe 2B, Jessica, Tatum Long RF, Camryn 3B, and Bailey with Kenzie Schopfer in the circle. Kenzie is a freshman from Savannah, MO, which is north of St. Jo. The Shockers continue to explore what they have in the new arms.

Lyndie Swanson, their best, is in the circle for the Huskies.

HBU has a leadoff single and a stolen base two batters later but no runs in the first. Sydney opens the Shocker first with a single and stolen base. After a walk to Neleigh and with two outs, Zoe reaches on a fielder's choice and Sydney scores on the play. (Made an unsuccessful play on Neleigh at second, and Sydney never slowed down?) Jessica walks to load the bases, but Tatum pops up to end the inning. 1-0 Shocks.

Shocks score but it is not really clear how that unfolded with Zoe reaching safely on a fieder's choice and Syd scoring from second. I assume a play at the plate the Syd beat??? Syd and Neleigh would have been running on the pitch in that situation. Another possibility is HBU tried to force Neleigh at 2nd and she beat the throw allowing Syd to score.

Good point. The count was 3-2. In that case, there is some possibility that Zoe should have been given a hit. Hard to know - I wasn't there. :)

After two strikeouts, the Huskies get a double, but a ground out follows. Kenzie has three Ks after two innings of pitching. With one out in the bottom of the second, Bailey triples and Sydney sends her home with a single. Sydney reaches third on a stolen base and throwing error by the catcher. Addie then completes her walk. Swanson follows by striking out Neleigh and Lolo. 2-0 Shockers after two complete.

With two outs in the top of the third, a single, walk, and double scores a run for the Huskies. 2-1 Shocks.

Zoe leads off the bottom of the third with her second homer of the weekend. Jessica reaches on an error and Tatum walks. Camryn moves them along with a sac bunt. After Bailey lines out, Sydney walks to load the bases, but Addie pops out. 3-1 after three.

The HBU fourth inning is three fly outs to left. Three up, three down for the Shockers, too. Still 3-1.

With one out in the fifth inning, the Huskies get a double and an infield single to put runners at the corners. After a steal of second, a sac fly scores one run. 3-2 and on to the bottom of the fifth.

Jessica leads off with a single for the Shocks and Lauren pinch-runs. Lauren stole second and advanced to third on Tatum's ground out. Camryn delivers with a triple, scoring Lauren. A ground out by Bailey keeps Camryn at third, but Sydney follows with a two-run homer. Addie singles and steals second. (Is she going to set the career mark for steals before March? Probably not. :) ) Neleigh walks to keep the inning going, and Lolo follows with a three-run blast. Another big crooked number late in the game. Pitching change for HBU. Zoe singles and advances on a wild pitch. With Jessica at the plate, Zoe is picked off second by the catcher. 9-2 after five.

To little surprise, Caitlin is on to start the sixth.

Syd McKinney is just something else.

It hadn't been updated yet. I've been checking every few minutes trying to stay up to date while watching thr men's team run around. But it has since been updates.

I truly appreciate the updates. I was just excited when I saw the number in the inning while it was still going.

Hmm. Not sure what is happening there. I try to update every five minutes or less, even mid-inning. You may have to refresh to get the latest update?

Another point I should make is that I intentionally try to update/edit a single post, so that someone in your circumstance can get everything in one post rather than scrolling down to find multiple posts. When someone else makes a post (and I have no objection to that!), I try to see that and start another "extended" post about the game below their post.

I'm bouncing back and forth between thos and men's basketball thread. It's no biggie. I figured the big inning just delayed the update as we kept producing.

Don't sweat any of it. Ever.
