Elam starts at 1B.
I am a little surprised by Boone in the 8th slot and Johns in the 9th slot. But maybe it is because of the Williams change up.

I am going to keep score during the game. Someone here will need to provide running commentary. I might comment sparingly.

Interesting that Kinzie gets the start at catcher and Elam at 1st.

Sounds like a job for White River. I would but with my fat fingers and checking my spelling, I would miss half the game.

Looking to maximize offence over defense today.

[SoonerGirl1201]

First batter strikes out, second is walked, third pop-up out and fourth pop-out out. Left 1 stranded. Bottom of 1st and OU hitting now.

[White River]

Shellmyer Strikes out looking
Lewis walks on 4 pitches
Rudd pops up to Trautwein
Ma. Nelson pops up to Lyons

Northwestern goes down with a whimper in the top of the 1st

[BudaSooner]

Sometimes Hope loses focus. Walked the NWestern second batter on four straight pitches - then came back and got the second out on an easy popup... and Lyons with the infield pop up for the 3rd out.

Sooners coming to bat.

[BudaSooner]

I can see why Jayda tossed her bat on the 3-1 pitch. Ball was inside, ump missed the call. She then struck out. A gift to NW from the ump.
One out, Alo up. And draws a walk on a 3-2 count.

[White River]

Coleman strikes out swinging at a 3-2 pitch away
Alo draws the walk after a full count
Jennings makes solid contact to RC for out #2
Lyons strikes out looking on a pitch that was low


Sooners showing some patience at the plate

[White River]

Cuchran first pitch swinging to 2nd for out #1
Zedak works the count full and walks
Cady flys out to shallow RF for out #2
Supple strikes out swinging

Trautwein throws 26 through 2

[White River]

Elam leads off with a single to LF
Hansen hits a line drive to 3rd, Elam doubled off first 2 outs
Brito strikes out on 3 pitches

No score through 2
