I agree, that is why I would have thrown Kasha and tried to get a win. At least that way we have a mental advantage going into the conference contests. However, I can see why Pooch would rather go for a better chance to beat a Big 12 team (Iowa State). Again, it is easy for me to second guess from my computer. -
Oh, wow!!!!
Lauren hits a three-run shot in the top of the seventh to send the Shocks ahead of North Texas, 6-5. :yahoo: It was preceded by a run-scoring single by Holly Eckert.
A two-out homer at that.Comment

Looking to end the weekend on a sour note, the Shox entered the top of the 7th trailing the Mean Green of North Texas 5-2.
6 batters later WSU takes a 6-5 lead off the bat of Laura Coleman who hits a 3 run homer.
Kasha tries to win it now in the bottom of the inning.

Shocks down to North Texas 5-2 entering the Top of the 7th when the Shocks rallied for 4 runs capped by Lauren Coleman's 2-out, 3-run homer to take a 6-5 lead.
Can Shocks hang on for a come from behind win?Comment

Kasha gives up 2 solo homers in the bottom of the 7th to lose it.
Norht Texas 7 - Shockers 6.
Tough loss. :(Comment

Kasha gives up a one-out and then a two-out homer. Shocks lose, 7-6.
And I was hoping she had given up that habit.Comment

Whatever confidence Kasha may have gained with her two strong outings earlier this weekend may have been shattered by today's loss. That is really a tough way to lose a game. The kind of loss that will give you nightmares.
Now I think I will go drown my disappointment in a brewski.Comment

Though Kasha suffered a tough loss, she (and Coach Burris, who works with the pitchers) need to concentrate on the progress she is making. She held Iowa State, who along with North Texas finished with a 4-1 record, to one run and three hits, by far the best performance of the tournament against them.Originally posted by 1972ShockerComment

WOW! after reading some the comments posted on this site I can now say I know why my daughter did not want me to come onto this site.... :-x
Kasha has had much sucess at everything she attempts and I believe she will at WSU also...Yes she has not had the show stopping start she would of liked to have had...but I have seen a huge improvement from Arizona to North Texas... :good:
I think Heather is doing a wonderful job calling the game from behind the plate I would like to see the whole zone worked a little more but she knows which pitches are working..and hopefully by our conference games we will have confindence in all the pitches our girls have to offer..... :yes:
And for all you of who dont Kasha except threw the internet she has always accomplished everything she every wanted and done it quite well...For the comments i have read on here about her coming from small ball Kasha has always played at the highest level available...She even got to experience pitching to the Chinese Olympic team last summer which she only gave up 3 hits none of them by the way were homeruns....they only scored 1 run in 6 innings pitched....She played gold ball with the Tulsa Eagles Gold and defeated many of the power house hitting teams and was very sucessful at leading her team... :yahoo:
I am proud to say we are Shocker parents but blessed to say I am Kashas mom....I love you kid keep working hard and it WILL come it always does.....Nice job to all of you ladies I have seen great moments from many of you..... 8) WORK THEM HARD COACHES!!!! WE READY FOR THE GOOD STUFF......

First, thanks so much for the additional pre-WSU background for Kasha.Originally posted by Shanna Kolb
Next, I think most posters in general have tried to be supportive of Kasha and WSU softball. Where there has been disappointment expressed (I now wish I had used an emoticon in that recent post), I know that it pales in comparison to the disappointment she feels. She is a competitive athlete who has worked hard to achieve what has been done to this point in her softball career and will continue to work hard. As noted in several posts, I think she will make the necessary adjustments and have a fine career as a Shocker.
But to put things in perspective, allow me to make another note about Kasha and her time at Wichita State. I actually hope she does better academically than she does on the field. Being able to play the sport you love is one thing, but preparing yourself to be a solid citizen and a contributor to society - whether that be by finding a cure for the common cold or by being a terrific mom - is ultimately more important. Athletics is one thing, but the life-lessons learned from playing athletics is a better thing.
Believe me, we want her to do well - not as fervently as a proud parent - but we truly want her to do well.Comment

The team has a whole did a great job this weekend there were a few moments where we didnt have things go our way....I am not sure where BOBO was but her presence was missed. :cry: ...And we had some big hits in the N.Texas game Holly E came up with some big hits when needed and #3 did an awesome job at the plate...Sorry still learning names....Heather is doing a great job behind the plate and had a great play at second to get the girl stealing....And we have an awesome outfield those girls are doing a bang up job out there! our first baseman Jamie S. all i can say is WOW she is doing an amazing job over there. :clap: .....I think we are on track to have a great thing going...We just have to put our bats and defense together now! AND our pitchers are seeing great improvement every week and I look forward to seeing them next week! I feel like all of the games we played this weekend were within our reach!
losing to MO State 1-3 and Iowa State 0-1 and N.Texas 6-7 :roll:
By the way it was very nice to meet some of the parents this weekend! it was nice to see all the support out wearing black and gold!
And Flying Moose perhaps Kasha didnt want me to read this site for fear of me responding HA HA over protective parents never change!! :shock:
GO SHOCKS!!!!! WE NEED SOME WINS THIS WEEKS!!!!!!! :clap:Comment
