Early morning tomorrow against the Huskers.

Hopefully Iowa State is planning on the Dome tournament again next year because Alabama is coming back again. Always good to get shots at the best.

Murphy showing the squad his old stomping grounds, I take it.

Yep. It'll be the second time he's brought them up here plus Jadyn Spencer is on staff now as well.

 

[theshadow]

7-3 win over Nebraska to start the day. Ramos grand slam in the 4th was the difference.



Next game against SDSU is slated for 12:30, but will probably be 1:15 or so due to the length of this game.

I feel sorry for NU. Can't afford to have a separate softball diamond and football practice field. Got to pay off all the coaches sallaries.

LOL this is a tournament at the UNI-Dome. But you've posted upstream so I'm pretty sure your just being funny.

 

[theshadow]

8-3 over SDSU; 3-0 on the season.

Two more games tomorrow: Drake at 1:30* and UNI at 3:45*.

How is our pitching looking to shape up this year?

What's a "your just"?

What's a "your just"?

A typo.

How is our pitching looking to shape up this year?

All 5 pitchers that saw action last year are back this year. No single dominant pitcher like some of the very top teams have. Charles, Spelhaug, and Swain appear to be the top 3/rotation.

 

[theshadow]

7-6 loss to Drake. Too many free passes and a couple of untimely errors.

ISU-UNI probably starting around 5:40.

 

[theshadow]

5-4 win over UNI to close out the tournament with a 4-1 record.

Swain struck out 17 in 6 innings; Charles came in for the save.

As a D1 program, how tf does that happen?

Because they fly commercial, not charter -- so they're at the mercy of the airlines.
