They start their #3 pitcher against us, Vasquez, who has barely pitched at all this year, just 5 innings in their first 7 games. We hammer her and chase her in the 2nd inning. Then they bring in their #2 pitcher Mancha. We get two more runs off her including the eventual game winner in the 4th inning. Only when there are 2 outs in the 6th inning do they bring in their ace, senior Alea White, who just a few days ago set a program career record with her 81st win. She strands a runner in the 6th, and strands the bases loaded in the 7th to keep it a 1 run game and give them a shot.
But seriously, what were they doing, resting their ace against a top 20 team so she would be ready for Friday’s huge game against McNeese State? WTF.
Don’t know if I’m Mizzou if I should be offended or just laugh. Maybe a little of both.
