He doesn’t know what he’s talking about…..

In these softball games where you have the best pictchers in the nation (the 2 very best will be squaring off in the championship series) all it takes is a run or two to win games.

Although UGA & Washington messed up our game time yesterday by making our team and Bama wait inn the sun for 6 hours to play, I like the fact that UWash had to play a 4 hour marathon in the heat of the day and then come back and play a late nightcap. This is when ace pitchers start to breakdown from overuse because there are so many games close together. UF seems to have the advantage in that department – only having to play 3 games and no extra innings.

Go Gators.

Hopefully it lines up correctly.

I don’t think we’ll be seeing Miss Harris or Miss Brombacher unless one of the games gets out of hand and the losing team wants to preserve their ace.

I have to think that all those innings have to catch up with Lawrie – especially with so many this weekend. She has pitched 15% more innings than Nelson – 41 more total, which is nealy 6 more complete games.

This should be a low-scoring stressful series…..
