Well, LadyBackBBFan was part of the all-time record crowd today. Too bad the errors derailed us early.

Have to come out and try for the series win tomorrow on Senior Day. Assume Moll gets the start, but who knows?

[LadybackBBFan]

Great crowd.  There were so many girl softball teams there - all pre-teens for the most part.  I would guess 50 teams.  There were more fans in the outfield grass area than we have had at many basketball games.  I wonder if they were counted?  If all in the outfield grass had been in the stadium, it would have been standing room only.  CH needs more control on her pitches.

[psycHOGlogist]

The tv announcers said that there is a big softball tournament being held in NWA this weekend, but the organizers specifically did not schedule any games during the UA v UGA game time today so all the teams could attend.

Some sharp marketing/development work there.

And yes, CH is not in top form. I also think maybe she needs a change-of-pace pitch before she can really be dominant.

CH  had several games when she was top notch, but she seems to be fading, on the other hand it was a good game even if it was just a couple innings for Grace Moll.  Also Krzysko still is hitting the ball well.  But as you said Psych, the two errors at the first kind of took the starch out of them today.  But if they win tomorrow they will still get the 11th seed, which looks like all they would have gotten even if they had swept.

Yes, they were all in full uniforms.  The one team next to mean said they were playing at 4:30 and a 45 minute drive - might be Bentonville.
