Alabama Softball begins title defense

[pmull]

Bama playing Illinois

After 3 innings, bama leads 7-2, thanks to a grandslam by Kima Davis.

Jury is pitching and struggling with her control.  In 3 innings she has walked 4, hit 2 and made 2 wild pitches.

Hope she settles down.

Kima Davis is the # 9 hitter. It is nice to have power through the entire batting order.

Bama leads 7-2 with Illinois batting in the top of the 7th. Jury is still on the mound. According to gametracker she has walked 3,  HBP 2 and given up 4 hits and 1 earned run.

Bama plays Northern Iowa at 7:00 so we must be saving Traina for that game.

Yep, tonight's game is prime time and I think Murph wants to give the locals a chance to see her. I will be interested in knowing the attendance of the game tonight because there has been a media blitz all week building the interest of this game.

If we could get Jury or someone else to be able to pitch against some of these lesser opponents from time to time it would allow Traina some rest so maybe she doesn't have to pitch 45 games this year.

Will you be the one to tell her to, "go sit down!"?

With Lauren Sewell healthy again, there should be some relief for Traina this year. Jury got off to a rough start tonight but finished the game looking very sharp. This is the key. If Jury can become a respectable starter, Sewell can then work on being the to go to reliever. This was the plan last year, but Sewell blew her knee out and Jury never got to where she could be depended on to start and finish a game, usually she was in trouble by the third inning. Let's cross our fingers.
