Title: No. 1 Softball Heads to the Pacific Northwest Post by: pmull on March 13, 2012, 11:47:37 AM The number one ranked Alabama softball team (21-0) will head to the Pacific Northwest for two midweek games. The Crimson Tide will face No. 15 ranked Oregon (18-3) on Tuesday, March 13 and then play Portland State (9-10) on Wednesday. First pitch against the Ducks is slated for 7 p.m. CT, while the game against the Vikings is set for an 8 p.m., start.
Oregon enters the week on a nine-game winning streak as the Ducks sport an 18-3 overall record. UO won the Bayer Cropscience Tournament in Fresno, Calif., going 5-0 over the weekend. Oregon earned wins over Butler (6-0), Fresno State (5-4), UConn (9-3), Purdue (9-1) and San Diego State (6-0). Courtney Ceo leads the Ducks with a .435 (30-for-69) average, adding a team-high 23 runs scored. Kaylan Howard has provided the punch with five home runs and 23 RBI. Kailee Cuico has chipped in three home runs and 24 RBI. Jessica Moore is 12-3 with a 1.32 ERA in 15 starts in the circle. She has struck out 80 in 101 innings pitched. UO is led by head coach Mike White who is in his third season in Eugene. White has posted 96-40 record over that span. http://www.rolltide.com/sports/w-softbl/spec-rel/031212aaa.html Title: Re: No. 1 Softball Heads to the Pacific Northwest Post by: Leewillie on March 13, 2012, 08:01:30 PM Alabama at Oregon.

Bama up 1-0 Title: Re: No. 1 Softball Heads to the Pacific Northwest Post by: Leewillie on March 13, 2012, 08:10:10 PM After 4 complete innings Bama leads 1-0
The only hit of the game was Reilly-Boccia's homerun. Oregon has had only 1 base runner, a walk in the 3rd inning. Traina seems to be on top of her game. Title: Re: No. 1 Softball Heads to the Pacific Northwest Post by: Leewillie on March 13, 2012, 08:16:03 PM Bama fails to score in top of 5th
Oregon pitcher has 10 strikeouts in 5 innings. Title: Re: No. 1 Softball Heads to the Pacific Northwest Post by: Jamos on March 13, 2012, 08:22:06 PM C'mon ladies, we need more than 1 run. :clap:
Title: Re: No. 1 Softball Heads to the Pacific Northwest Post by: Leewillie on March 13, 2012, 08:30:10 PM Bottom of 6th, Oregon gets leadoff hitter on by way of a throwing error on Conley. After a sacrifice to move the runner to 2nd, Oregon gets their first hit and scores a run.

Take a 5-1 lead Double by Braud, infield single by Fenton, walks to Boccia and Traina and a double by Hunt. Good inning ladies Title: Re: No. 1 Softball Heads to the Pacific Northwest Post by: pmull on March 13, 2012, 08:56:17 PM Bama scores 4 in top of 6th.

Good inning ladies The Ducks intentionally walked Boccia to load the bases with only one out. I don't think I would have done that. ??? They turn around and walk Traina to score a run and Hunt gets the big hit.

We need 3 quick out for a great road win against a quality opponent.

I am following the game on Gametracker. She was walked on 4 pitches and it said she was intentionally walked. It makes more sense that they walked her after a 3-0 count. Title: Re: No. 1 Softball Heads to the Pacific Northwest Post by: Leewillie on March 13, 2012, 09:16:39 PM Tide wins 5-1
Traina pitches an outstanding game, 7 innings, 3 hits and 1 unearned run, along with 10 strikeouts. Title: Re: No. 1 Softball Heads to the Pacific Northwest Post by: pmull on March 13, 2012, 09:20:43 PM Bama beat a good Oregon team 5-1. We stay unbeaten on the year.

PS scores an unearned run in the bottom of 1st Bama leads 3-1 Title: Re: No. 1 Softball Heads to the Pacific Northwest Post by: Jamos on March 14, 2012, 08:46:46 PM I'm unable to get the Gametracker for whatever reason and WVUA isn't broadcasting the game so keep us posted Lee, you're doing a good job. (Except for the boys, and I think they need some help from up above) ;)

Title: Re: No. 1 Softball Heads to the Pacific Northwest Post by: Leewillie on March 14, 2012, 09:10:27 PM Jury gives up a homerun after the leadoff runner gets on on an error.
End of 2, Bama leads 6-3 The game has been called after 2 because of the rain Bama remains 22-0 Title: Re: No. 1 Softball Heads to the Pacific Northwest Post by: Leewillie on March 14, 2012, 09:19:55 PM Playing conditions wewe less than ideal. Both teams had already made a couple of thowing errors because of the wet field and light rain falling. Two of Portland States runs were a direct result of Bama throwing errors on routine ground balls on the infield. PS also had a couple of untimely errors, I would have thought that they being from the Pacific Northwest would be use to playing in the rain.
There was also a large contingent of Kayla Braud family and friend who had come from Eugene after last nights game. I'm sure they enjoyed last nights game and getting to see their hometown girl playing for the #1 team in the nation.

She already had a double and a single in tonights game. Title: Re: No. 1 Softball Heads to the Pacific Northwest Post by: pmull on March 15, 2012, 08:35:19 AM You have to give Portland State credit. They found a way to keep us from winning. Order up a rain storm. ;)
That was a long trip to Oregon to play one game. We return to Tuscaloosa for our first home SEC series of the year against Ole Miss. |
