I hope Krzysko and Green continuing picking it back up today, they showed signs of it the last game or two, especially Krzysko.

hogs up in the bottom of the 6th

Haff with a six run lead, 6Ks and a one hitter will try to end it here.
Krzysko is definitely hitting better, coming out of her slump, but Green is still mired in her's, and McEwen isn't hitting as well as she was.  Freshmen inexperience is starting to show.  Its good to see Warrick emerge and Diaz staying strong.
1st batter gets ahead 2-1, goes down on a pop to ss, one down
2nd batter is pinch hit for, works a 1-1 count, 2-1, 3-2, goes down swinging for Haff's 7th K,
3rd batter flies out to rf to end it.  Haff the winner on a one hitter.
Diaz and Warrick the hititng stars (along with Manzo for her one hit a dinger).  Hogs 22-5, Haff 13-2 with the win.

Haff is pretty impressive for a freshman.

Mary ranks not only in the top ten in the SEC in many categories (as high as third in several - innnings pitched, strikeouts, opposing batting average, second in Ks and first in Ks looking, and tied for first in wins) but in the top ten in the nation is some categories.  That is pretty impressive period, not just for a freshman.

Green may be struggling a bit at the plate, but she is a beast behind it. I saw several games over the weekend and I thought Green was very impressive. She gunned down several runners, including a couple where I thought there was no way she was going to get the.

quite true as well.  It is her defense and that of Krzysko that makes it doubly hard to take them out of the lineup.  Same with Bugarin.  But with Belans not hitting and her frequent errors, switching Buczek to short became mandatory. 

Still it makes Krzysko's starting to hit again, all the more important to the team's overall performance.  As the immortal Terry Bradshaw replied when asked how they were going to beat their superbowl opponent -  "Score more points than they do".  Defense is great and necessary (to cut down on the other team's scoring) but you have to score runs, too.  Haff's two losses were 1-0 shutouts (one in nine innings).  Its hard to beat the other team when you dont score - so every bat is important, stringing hits together and even the short game is important.

But as to your point about Green, she also ranks number one in the SEC in runners cut down trying to steal with nine out of 18 chances.  She guns down half of the runner testing her, thats rare (but on the other hand her number of passed balls is also tied for most in the league). 

We have several rare freshmen, some of whom are having a hard time even seeing the field like Malkin, Duncan and Dodson.  But I would hate to see Green sit too, Even if she needs a day off every now and then to see if it can revive her hitting.
