Cool. 
Wish WV was here to insult the players and umpires for us!

Bummer; they took Traina out to save her for later games.  She played VERY well.

 :lol:

She gave up 1 hit, no walks in 4 innings of work. Very good job by Jackie.

Anybody notice you could fit a refrigerator in the strike zone?

J Train is getting some valuable experience playing with the USA team and she has done a very good job when she has pitched. It's great to see Ashley get to play with Jackie, I know the two of them have had a lot to talk about since winning the NC.

Yep, she could have finished the game, but this is the big league.

Since we are discussing the "J-Train" and Team USA I found a related article titled "WCWS foes join forces for Team USA". It talks about Jackie and Oklahoma's Ricketts both playing on Team USA one week after the WCWS.

Quote
During an exhibition game in West Virginia a week after the Women's College World Series, Team USA's Keilani Ricketts stumbled and fell on the field. It was a minor moment of embarrassment, but all the invitation teammates needed to have a little fun at the expense of the reigning college player of the year.

"I made a joke when she came in the dugout," Jackie Traina said. "And I was like, 'Oh, is this too early for jokes?' I didn't want to make her mad or anything."
