The girls went 0-2 BBQ. I watched the game on ESPN, which my roommates were really excited about. It looked like Amanda Scarborough just could not her hit her spots. Jo gave all the credit to the Baylor batters, who "did really well early on was staying off Amanda’s drop ball" and forced her to "come up in the strike zone to them." Gibson came in relief, but we couldn't make up the early 5 run deficit.

The guys got off to a good start beating Le Moyne 7-2. We went on to loose the next game to every one's favorite school acronym ULALA (pronounced ooo la la). What seemed like a little bit of Oslen magic turned into frustration when Stinson's woulda-been 3 run shot was robbed (the fielder confirmed his "forearm was definitely over the wall") and Carter's grounder to short left men stranded at 1st and 3rd and us down a run. After the loss we came back to win two and force a third game against ULALA today.

sucks to see the women be done so fast...but you just don't turn the corner in a year...it took them a few years to get past the reginals and now it might take a few trips to the world series to make some noise...followed the men via computer yesterday and was happy with the two wins...to force the all important game tonight...gotta like those odds....have not heard best case if they win I'm guessing they host the supers but have not heard any possible match ups...

Yes, good point. That was our first WS appearance in 19 years so we should be happy but no one likes to see an o-fer. The softball progress seems a like our womens soccer and mens/womens basketball progress. We quickly get to the really-good stage, but it is so much more difficult to get to the competing-for-national-championship stage.

If we win tonight we will go to Houston to face Rice in the super regional. We have had Rice's number this year so I am liking that match up.
