WSR Arizona Athletics Report

Some odd stuff going on here.

Wildcat fans getting vocal after some called balls. Then ND's Koerner gets beaned on throw from second to first and it's called interference, leading to two Notre Dame outs, a double-play. Still 4-1 bottom of the fourth.

Bottom of the 4th... Some weird officiating.

Home umpire missed a 3rd strike, and the batter ended up walking. Next batter hits into potential double play... Cats get the lead runner easily but the throw from 2nd hits the runner going from first to second and the umpire rules everyone out due to interference. Didn't look like to throw was going to beat the runner to first regardless.

ND gets a 2 run homer later which would have been 3 had it not been for that weird call.

End of 4, Cats 4-3.

well that was a frustrating inning.
refs forgot to open their eyes today. missed strike call, bad rulings.
then we a fluke homerun (2nd of the year)
time for team to get back to work

I'll be honest, I don't know the rule. But if the 2nd baseman hits the runner on a relay throw on a double play, maybe you have to call interference.

Cuz there is no way that throw was going to get the runner at 1st.

Bottom five 6-3.

Anyone have a game MVP front-runner yet?

Babcock may be edging out Arriola. Not sure yet.

Well, I have found some wood to knock on, I have to admit that I was kind of hoping to see a game under the eclipse. It would have been a first.

Unless ND gets hot, it looks like AZ is closing on a trip to Norman, OK.

Bottom 6, heart of the order for ND coming up.

whoever hit the homerun we where up 4-3 is my mvp.
lets hope the forkers lose.

Indeed. I hope they lose twice and miss Supers.

Emily Koerner, with the twice-beaned and over-worked right arm made it interesting with a shot to center field to get to second. Babcock didn't over-extend, to get the next two outs.

We head to the top of the 7th.

It doesn't look like my post count will bat a .1000 on this thread as we are rolling right now,

Pendley is a good choice for MVP. So is Goodacre with another solo HR as I write this.

7-3

have we hit the ball this well during the season?
really hope we keep these hot bats. as mentioned,
we are gonna need it.
one inning to go
bear down

Nuts. I take credit for jynxing the infield with my MVP comment. My bad.

Chelsea Goodacre with Capitalone Player of the Game.

Two outs on Babcock's KO.

Three outs on Del Ponte fielding of short hopper to first.

Cats move on!!!

Will be interesting to see if Cal and ASU advance or not tonight.
