Vols,
The Ladies let the Flames hang around a while and then the hits started falling in, culminated by Madison Shipman leaving the yard with a grand slam in the 5th. It was Shipman wasn't it?
I do get them mixed up often.
Ivy was over powering despite missing the plate
and forcing a lot of 3-2 counts. Still, a no hitter and a mercy killing of 5 innings.
Was wondering when we'd hit a long ball. Don't you love seeing Kelly Grieve and her speed on the bases?
Okla State next Sat so we need to just keep on keeping on.
