The Shockers conclude the tournament portion of their schedule with four games at the Tulsa Invitational. The Shocks will start their tournament play against Texas Tech at 3pm on Friday. On Saturday, the opponents are California at 9am and Montana at 130pm. Tulsa is the opponent at 115pm on Sunday. All of this with weather permitting as there is rain in the forecast.
Texas Tech are a preseason pick for sixth among the seven teams playing softball in the Big 12. The Red Raiders record is 12-9, playing at tournaments hosted by Texas State and Alabama, a tournament in Puerto Vallarta as well as their tournament that the Shocker played in last weekend. They have a win over 21 Fresno State and two losses to 10/10 Alabama. The leading hitters are Devon Thomey (OPS of 1.058), Jessica Hartwell (1.020 and four homers) and Raina O'Neal (.956 and six homers). The pitching they faced last weekend improved their offensive numbers. Kassidy Scott has almost half of the innings with an ERA of 2.44 and a WHIP of 1.33. Second in innings is Mattison Maisel with numbers of 5.58 and 1.80.
Cal are a preseason pick for sixth among nine teams in the Pac 12. They are currently ranked 23/19 and have a record of 15-3. They have a runs-ahead win over Oklahoma State. Leading hitters for the Golden Bears are Lindsay Rood (1.033), Jazmyn Jackson (1.002) and Kobie Pettis (1.000). The team only has two home runs to this point in the season. Zoe Conley (1.81 and 1.16) has started over half of the games. Far down the innings list (less than a third of Conley's total) is Stephanie Trzcinski whose numbers are 3.18 and 1.59.
Montana are picked for third among the eight teams in the Big Sky Conference. Their record is 7-12 and includes losses to Drake and Northern Iowa in the season-opening UNI Dome tournament. Offensive leaders for the Grizzlies are Delene Colburn (1.181 and five homers) and Bethany Olea (1.053). Four different pitchers have roughly the same number of innings. The staff ERA is 4.27 with a WHIP of 1.64.
Tulsa is the preseason pick to win the American Athletic Conference, just points ahead of South Florida. Their record is 11-9 with wins over Kansas and UT Arlington and a 1-0 loss to Oklahoma on Wednesday. The leading hitters are Julia Hollingsworth (1.022) and Morgan Neal (.938). Emily Watson has half of the innings in the circle. Her numbers are 1.91 and 1.07. Lexi Blevins and Haley Meinen complete the staff.
The Shockers record is now 11-7. Pull up a chair and let's go through the offensive numbers: Laurie (1.113 with four homers), Madison (1.055 and four homers), Paige (1.021 and four homers), Mackenzie (.980), Macklin (.959 and four homers), Mauriana (.942) and Kelli (.937). Of course, offense is not the current issue with the Shocks. Katie has two-thirds of the innings in the circle. Her numbers are 2.87 and 1.42. After that, there is no one at the moment. Jenni is still on her way back, and Bailey cannot seem to get anybody out recently. Her WHIP is now 1.84.
