1-0 Northwestern

I don't like it when Hope goes to a 3-2 count, bad things (walk, hit, HR) seem to happen more often than not. Solo HR in this case.

Would be interesting to see what the stats are on full counts with Hope.

[BudaSooner]

This 3rd inning isn't going to my liking... Among other things, Hope's pitch count is getting up there, now = still with 2 out and now with the second walk, sitting on 59, not good.

I'm not watching (had to stop listening) and just seeing stat updates, seems like Hope is starting to struggle a bit?

[White River]

Rudd works the count full and walks
Ma. Nelson works the count full and walks (Two on with 2 out)
Cuchran flies out to LF for out 3

A bit of struggle but mostly they are working the count full fouling off pitches and taking away the rise ball for the strikeout.

[BudaSooner]

Hope is a great girl, outstanding pitcher, but yeah, she struggled last inning. Like I said, I hate to see her get to a 3 ball count, she tends to give up a walk.

[White River]

Boone with a leadoff double to the RF fence
Coleman hits the first pitch for a base hit through the 5-6 hole 1-1 Tie game.

[White River]

My bad, Johns got the RBI. I'm used to Boone in the 9 hole

[White River]

Coleman grounds a base hit through the 3/4 hole Runners on 1st & 2nd with no outs
Wild pitch advances the runners to 2nd and 3rd
Alo walks on 4 pitches that weren't close. Bases loaded
Jennings GRAND SLAM!!!!

[SoonerGirl1201]

Maybe I need to just stop watching/listening for good, I had to take a work call and now see it is 5-1

[White River]

Lyons grounds to the 5/6 hole. The ball eats up the SS. I'm assuming base hit.
Elam flies out to deep CF 1 out
Hansen walks on 5 pitches Runners on 1st and 2nd
Brito pops up the first pitch to foul territory behind 1st base
Boone back at the plate for the second time. Drrives a ground ball up the middle. Lyons scores 6-1 Sooners Runners 1st & 2nd
Johns flies out to LF

6-1 Sooners through 3!

Hang with us. It gets even better!

HOPING that lead gives Hope some confidence and settles her down. Doesn't sound like she is super unsettled, just don't want to see any unnecessary walks.
