Nice change-up there! How many pitches can Taylor go?

really beautiful changeup is working for taylor today.

after 4, still 0-0.

Let's go Bats!

Peanut getting on base. Bats are starting to make consistent contact, just gotta get the ball in play and into the gaps.

We can do this.

Let's go Taylor!

Working out of that jam. phew!

after 5, 0-0

Top of the order comin up, let's go CATS!

Yes Jessie!

Jessie goes yard

HELL YEA

Needed that. Let's GO!

WOOT!!!!

JESSIE HARPER!!!!!!!!!!!!

wooooooooooooooooooooooo

cats lead 1-0.

Let's go Taylor!

6 more outs for Taylor, come on girl!

Well that lead didn't last long

Eesh

Wow, that sucks!

Couldn't even get one fucking out...

well fuck.

lead didnt last long lol.

This ump is absolutely awful. Good game otherwise though, although that's not quite what we're looking for.

Ump ain't helping.
But Taylor would be first to say that when you leave a pitch over the middle of the plate, it's gonna get crushed.

Back to tie game after 6. 1-1. Bats comin up, let's fuckin go Cats!

as a side note, this vw red light commercial is fucking awful.

This is the type of game we were expecting right?

I think so. Most of these games should be like this. Good pitching and homers.

Six straight strikes...

Damn

Major blown opportunity

Dammit, 2 on, no outs and we come up empty

big time pitching, and needing timely hitting.

yep, i was expecting this

Let's go Taylor, get us to the 8th inning!

too bad the bottom of the lineup was up with that 1st and 2nd and no outs, but one of the first two outs at least needs to be productive...

The 2nd K took a lot of pressure off...

“ timely hitting, big plays” headline today said it all....

8th inning it is

Nice pitching Taylor!

Big time to get outta that

Time to bring out the Xanax-loaded Pez Dispenser there....

Hell yeah!!!

3 - 1

LET'S GO!!!

Big time!

What happened? I see that we are up 3-1

Go Cats!

WOOT!!! WOOT!!!

There's some timely hitting...

For the love of god Taylor just close this out.

Dejah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


fuck yeah.

3-1.

Let's go Taylor. 3 more outs!

seriously...approach with 2 outs is the same as with none, extended at bat with fouls, gets the single.

Then the HR...

Approach, approach, approach. Easy to get a low energy AB with 2 out, no one on chance against a dominant pitcher. But a plate protecting AB with a single gets another set of eyes in the box and a little more pressure on the P.

Ump getting stingy with called strikes again

There we go! Nice win girls!

U of A!!!!!

One down. Big win

1 down!

CATS WIN 3-1 FUCK YEAH

is this...

wait for the very overplayed comparison...

like...the...1997 basketball team? I mean, a bunch of juniors, one year early. Getting it done.

Huh?

Just kidding. Really, making it to OKC was the pressure valve. I don't think we have the depth of pitching to win the WCWS, especially in the current format. But to get a win in game one just opens possibilities.

And, yes...we will also be very good next year...

Nice!

Absolutely huge game today (duh, right?).

Taylor pitched a ton of pitches, and even with that stingy ump not giving her the call off the edge of the plate like uw was getting, she just get goin and hitting her spots and fighting through it.

Go ice up that arm Taylor!

Rest of the team did great too. that APC catch in the 7th full run full extension, saved the game for us. that falls and game is over.

And of course the big time hitting comething through in the clutch with 2 outs to win the game. oh fuck yeah!

GO CATS
