Softball vs Northwestern
Pitching has been brutal.
Now down 13-7. Once up 7-2.
Looks like this will be a shitty day. Is Northwestern good in softball? What happened to Michigan today?
Nope. Just fell apart and got outscored 7-0 in the 5th.
13-7 as M comes to bat in the bottom of the 6th. All 3 pitchers have seen time in the circle, giving up just 6 hits but too many walks and one key error.
Hutch is not gonna be happy
13-9 after a Romero home run. One out B7
13-11 after a Susalla home run. Still 1 out
Blanco walk, tying run at the plate
Runners at 2nd & 3rd. Monte at the plate.
Let's go Blue!
Hutchins pulling out all the stops to try and get this one, Peters pinch running for Falk at 2nd
oops, Alexander! my bad
4 pitch walk, bases loaded, 1 out
Walk for Monte. Bases loaded for Sobject
Pinch hitter instead. Freshman C Richardson.
Wow. That was close. Grounder almost turned 2.
Crap. Rally fell one run short. Good fight from the girls to make it a game in the 7th.
13-12 final
Don't like bring in someone who hasn't swung a bat in a long time for someone who's already 1/3 in the game.
13 runs on 6 hits allowed is not gonna cut it. Hutch is probably livid.
Northwestern is not good.
I was at the game and pretty much assumed a win after they were up 6-0 after 3 innings. Didn't help that the umpire didn't call any strikes in that 7-run Northwestern 5th inning. Hopefully this is a turning point like the back-to-back Iowa and Minnesota losses last season.
Dang
Even though they lost I saw on Twitter that the last time the girls lost a B1G opener at home was in 2005. And well, that season ended rather well.
Here's to good omens.
Both Gaiman and Pratchett got mileage out of that collaboration.

Walks kiiled us, but i dont think pulling Sara was the answer. I know Hutch has a reason for everythins she does, but we need someone to learn how to finish a game, knowing you can be pulled for another pitcher hasnt worked the few times we've needed it to.
