St. Pete/Clearwater Elite Invitational (Feb 15-16)

[UOducksTK1]

Dail can't last at this pace. Plus she throws to many balls. she's at 72 pitches, with only 36 being strikes. It's cool to see us starting off hot to begin the season, but it's gonna catch up to us.

Like gy said, we really could have used Balint. Need another quality pitcher.

[oregontrack]

can't argue the concerns about her pitch count, but damn, getting out of that based loaded/no outs situation was clutch city.

[greenyellow]

A couple errors, a walk, and a couple wild pitches allows LSU to score in the B5. Dail then allows a 2-run HR that ties the game at 4.

Finally we have errors. Dang.
Yes, pitching will the teams downfall. Dail can only do so much and can't be expected to have infinite stamina.

[greenyellow]

All I can say is that LSU's live stat tracker absolutely sucks. It feels like they're 5 minutes behind the action and seem to really only do prompt updates when LSU is up to bat.

[greenyellow]

Ducks retake the lead 5-4 after a Burks leadoff single, Sievers sac bunt, and RBI single from Utecht.

[TualatinDuck]

Ok Im getting nervous now like the Washington game. Almost like you can taste the win.

[greenyellow]

Ducks still lead 5-4 heading to the T7.

[UOducksTK1]

3 HR for ducks! YEEEEE!

[greenyellow]

April Utecht hits a 3-run HR to give Oregon an 8-4 lead in the T7.

[oregontrack]

2 outs, nobody on, and the ducks go on to plate FOUR. damn. clutch city all around today.

[TualatinDuck]

These girls are very impressive! 8-4 on a team that todate was 76-2 vs all previous opponents. CCRAZY!

[oregontrack]

WOW

i did not expect this.

james madison (first pitch 2:30) is also ranked in the top 25. next one up.

[greenyellow]

Ducks win 8-5 to improve to 6-0. They play later today against #14 James Madison.

[rockthief]

8-5 LSU scored on a double. Then DUcks get the out and win. Held LSU under their scoring average. Danged good for a patchwork team.
