They’re in the 5th, no score

3

Coogs with the bases loaded and 2 outs in the 7th. Still no score.

Can’t get the run home. B7…0-0

4

Headed to extras as Bell has only given up 3 hits so far

5

Coogs can’t get a run home in their half and UCR brings the runner home from 2nd to win.

UCF wins 1-0

This weekend will be a real test for the softball team and will give us a better idea of how good the Coogs really are. These California teams are usually solid. So far it looks like the good pitching continued despite the 1-0 loss.

Offense is key. We’re 2-7 in games where we score 2 or less. 14-0 when scoring 3 or more.

Heebner might be banged up. 2nd straight game she didn’t start (she did pinch hit yesterday).

Coogs win the game against San Diego in walkoff fashion, taking it 6-5in extras.

Very good weekend. Those 3 unearned runs in the last inning yesterday was a killer. Very impressed with the way they came back today after that tough loss.
