Stranded the runner at first.  That was a little better.  The problem is they are going through the order pretty quickly and will get extra chances against Traina toward the end of the game, while we are not.  We need to get something going this time.

Yeah, Bama not making contact--OU is. But Bama keeping that small ball stuff in front of them. RTR

>:( >:( >:(

How do we get thrown out at 3rd with the top of the order at bat!!!!

OU is having some control issues.  2nd and 3rd with no outs.

Still no outs. Locke ( runners on 2nd and 3rd) strikes out.
 

We need to be taking some of these pitches.  >:(

Traina tags from 3rd on the fly.  TRAINA!!!

Another hit batter.  I'm telling you she can't find the strike zone.  We need to be taking some pitches until she proves she can throw strikes.

I guess it doesn't do you any good to take pitches if the ump is going to call them strikes any way.  Those first 2 pitches to the last batter were a mile outside.  She took them both, then had to swing at a low pitch on the 3rd strike.

>:(

At least we have the lead now.  I'm concerned it won't hold up though.  We need to sit them down 1-2-3 this time and keep the pressure on them.

Lead off walk!!!!

>:( >:( >:(

Top of 5th:

3,4,5 up for OU. Walks lead-off.

Now they have 2nd and 3rd with no outs.

3 up and 3 down for the top of the order.  :(

We have got to put some pressure on Ricketts tomorrow.

Congratulations to OU, they were definitely the better team tonight.

I don't like chokelahoma ....  especially when they win  :dunno:

Phone never quit ringing tonight-- terrible job recording that game-- wish I could say the distraction was work related but it was OU guys I work with calling. They'll be getting pink slipped in the morning. Seems like they would care about their job more than that. Oh well-- a couple of months drawing unemployment oughta straighten 'em out before football season. RTR

Great win by the Okies, they easily beat a very good team.

I hope the Bama batters learned something tonight, you can't beat Ricketts trying to hit home runs. Tomorrow is another day, maybe things will be better for the ladies tomorrow night. Traina has her hands full as well, they hit everything she threw up there.  :dunno:

Jackie needs to keep the ball down in the zone for strikes.  They crushed everything up in the zone, even pitches that were way too high to be strikes.

I think we will get to Ricketts tomorrow, but I am concerned about how Jackie will hold up.  They got one extra time through the order than we did, and she pitched about 150 pitches.  Rickets was just a little over a hundred the last time I noticed.

Big game emotions will get her through this but if they were making contact today, they'll do it again. We need to get somje offense going and play error free on "D". This team will not take this in stride-- I just hope they can rest tonight . I wish it was an afternoon game so they wouldn't be sitting around all day tomorrow.

I didn't get to watch today but I saw on ESPN I believe we lost 4-1. If so, Oklahoma is a great team too, but we shall return tomorrow. RTR!

OU beat us in every phase of the game last night. We were lucky the score was not worse than it was. OU had runners on base all night.

We can either phone it in tonight or roll up our shelves and come out ready to play. I think we will be ready.

I am concerned about Traina. She has pitched a lot of innings with only one day off. She looked tired last night to me. She had trouble keeping the ball low in the strike zone and OU was wearing the high pitch out. Her pitches did not seem to have good movement. Some nights pitchers just do not have their best stuff but I think she is tired. It will be hard for CPM to take the ball out of her hands but I will not be surprised to see Locke on the mound tonight. Whoever gets the start needs to come out and take control of the game early.

I give OU a lot of credit. They are by far the best team we have seen this year. We need to jump on Ricketts early. We also need to quit swinging at balls and helping her out.

Great team with home field advantage.  Our ladies have an uphill fight.

CMM ought to threaten to sell the whole lot of them to the sex trade industry if they lose like that again. JMHO

CNS needs to get his azz out to OKC and talk to the team like he did the gymnastic girls. Maybe he threatened the sex trade industry on them too?  :dunno:

I imagine CPM has their passports in a drawer in Tuscaloosa. One quick call to CNS and it is Bangkok here they come.

Naw if CNS talks to them it would just inspire and you won't send them nowhere. RTR!

Exactly bro Ricky...that's Motivation. And to quote the ole Marine Corps motto...
We will Plan...Adapt...an Overcome. Jackie just needs to control her pitches below the waist an focus on the corners. Drop that 'Rise' pitch, an I think (if the bats can come around) we have a good shot at winning #2...jmo

No PBP tonight? Bama leaves bases loaded in top 1st with Dawson groundout. No score.

 >:(

Schults hits bloop single to score the runner from 2nd with 2 outs. Traina gets strike out for 3rd out. 1-0 Oklahoma.

 #+

Hunt hit by pitch, bases loaded, 2 outs. Traina doubles, clears bases. Bama up 4-1. WOOOT!!!

Ricketts gets K for 3rd out. Going to B-2. Bama up 4-1.

A lead-off hit and a walk puts runners on 1st and 2nd for Ok. 1 out. Popout to Boccia and Hayes runs into her. Holds on but runner on 2nd advances. 2 outs.

Martinez pops out for 3rd out. After 2, Bama up 4-1.

Arioto won the worthless Lowes award.

Dawson gets hit and takes 1st. Davis in for Amanda at the plate. Davis strikes out. Conley flies out. Lunceford fouls out. Going to B-3, 4-1 Bama.

 :popcorn2:

the announcer is awesome !    :dunno:

RollTide Roll!...looking good right now 8)

Braud gets hit. 5th hit batter by Ricketts. Bama batters are crowding the plate and it's paying off.

 #+ RTR

Passed ball. Runners on 2nd & 3rd. Hunt hits sac fly. 5-1 Bama. Heck yeah!!!

Whhoops. Missed the "s".  :-[

 >:(

Traina hits a grounder to 3rd, Fenton caught in run-down for 2nd out. Traina to 2nd. After 2 walks, the bases are loaded. Locke doubles and clears the bases. Bama kicking azz!!!

BOOM!

So when are we going to see Locke pitching?  Need to rest up the JTrain for tomorrow.

CPM in the dugout just eating a hotdog. Ladies are rolling! Let's keep it going! Roll Tide!

those chokelahoma fans ain't so happy tonight   :clap:

no stupid chants  from the stands soonettes ?    :dunno:

Only the 2nd 3 up, 3 down in the series for Traina. She looks like she's getting stronger as the game goes on.

this is like a twofer ....

if they continue to beat the snot out of the sooners it will also
pizz off those wonderful texas longcorn fans as well   :clap: :clap: :clap:

Bama goes down in order in the top of the 5th.

Bama gets out of a 1st and 2nd jam. Going to T-6.

Hunt works a walk. Traina Lines one to the pitcher, who drops it and throws Hunt out at 2nd. Boccia K's for out 2 and was probably affected by the scandal of the Lowes award. Iallani steals 2nd. Dawson grounds out for out 3.

My ears hurt from listening to Beth Mowins run her mouth. They'll spend half an inning on some related human interest story without updating. :( She thinks she is one of the ESPN gang, but I'll bet they can't wait for her to go in the other room so they can tell Dyke jokes.

All of a sudden, Bama making mistakes. 2 errors in a row by Conley and Traina.

Big K for Jackie. 2 outs, runners on 2nd & 3rd.

If you say so. :hugeeyeroll:

Huge strike out for Jackie to get out of the jam! Going to the 7th still up 8-1.  :dance:

2 throwing errors-- typical women- trying to throw around the base runner so no one gets hurts with a "at the bag" throw.

Locke gets hit on the first pitch. Spencer pops out. Lunceford smacks one to the pitcher who can't make the play at 2nd. Braud grounds to 1st. 2 outs, runners on 2nd & 3rd.

what did you say  ? huh ? huh ? my ears are bleeding  !  

it's a voice ,  like icepicks hitting my earholes from the awesome announcer

Fenton fouls out to end the threat. This is it, Bama fans, bottom of the 7th. Shut 'em down and show 'em who's boss!

LOL--My version of Hell-- Mowins calling a long foul ball down the line-- on a loop!

six innings ago ?

thanks you Jesus , I thought Steve Bartman was in control  !!!!


ROLL TIDE !!!!!!!

ROLL TIDE ROLL


(https://encrypted-tbn0.google.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTDPN8fFDEO7u_WGK6fsCXXR7XNS7z2QS6Re-Di9zg43skE1wCOpA)Beth Mowins is awesome.

Congrats ladies!!!! I don't know why CPM didn't put Amanda in to close. Just glad they held on.

we have to listen to Beth Mowins "the grass" again  ?    :wall:

No sense in giving the Sooners at look at her in case we need her tomorrow.

A valiant effort to come out and take control of this game like they did. Even though they leaked oil at the end of the game, they did what they've done all year long.....what they had to do to win the game. Go get their azzes tomorrow ladies!!!!

 #+

I may be just me, and may have been discussed earlier, but JT seem to come inside more tonight.  Last night it looked like OU was waiting for the outside pitches.  Congrats girls.

Congrats ladies. One step at a time. You are winning it all one step at a time. RTR!

Whew!! Bama went to Okie City to win this thing and now they have a good chance of doing just that. It will be very interresting to see how Ricketts handles the result of this game. It was a smart move by the coaches to move the batters on top of the plate and shorten their swing. I didn't agree with moving the outfield in so close, it is easier to come in on a ball than it is going back on one. They had two hit over their heads which almost cost them the game.

Kudos to Jackie Traina, she is as tough as nails. Good job ladies!!  #+

Let's hope MVP and national champion!

 Jamos just posted about it-- Bama crowding the plate a little to disrupt the pitching. It must have worked-- plus Bama had 10 innings to study the pitching. But our bats weren't ringing off the hook. I think we had 2 three run doubles-- doubles with runners on from either walks or hit batters. We had 8 runs but need even MORE offense tomorrow.

I was really hoping CPM would put Locke in to close and at least give JT an inning's worth of rest. I doubt we'll see Locke on the mound tomorrow, so giving Oklahoma a glimpse of what she's got, really isn't important. I hope the enthusiasm that Bama came to this game with, carries over to tomorrow. CPM showed what a great coach he was tonight by getting the hitters to crowd the plate. As WV pointed out, we didn't knock the cover off the ball, but strikeouts were greatly reduced and 5 batters were hit that led to runs, runs that were produced by timely hits, mainly the 2 doubles by JT and AL. It will be interesting to see how Ricketts tries to adjust to Bama crowding the plate again as I'm sure they will do. That really rattled her tonight. I hope Jackie still has some gas left in the tank.

Without a doubt, the 2 best teams in the country are going at it for the NC.

Stay stoked, ladies and give it all you've got tomorrow!!! Great job tonight!!!

Roll Tide!!!

I am still amazed at Bama having problems with infield popups this late in the season. This almost cost Bama the game last night. I thought Hays had killed Reilly Boccia on the one play and then Reilly Boccia almost takes out Hunt on another play. The lack of proper communication on these plays can be very costly, a national champioship.

Hopefully Bama will have a good mental session today to discuss these types of errors. The 7th inning last night was a total disaster for this team due to mental errors.

Get'r done!!  :clap:

The linescore ended up not being pretty, but I will take the W.

Roll Tide Roll!!!
