Why we take Reid out??? What are we doing?? Danley just doesn’t have it against Oklahoma……..

It's a great debate. Lonni says she weighs the matchups.

Early, I thought she wanted to rotate pitchers so that OU hitters just got one at-bat against each FSU arm.

Last year, I was told Makenna's rise was a bad matchup for OU in the WCWS. But I agree that she had pitched well tonight (two innings, one run but it was not earned).

 

[Bob Ferrante]

Wow. Coleman grabs a Beachum HR at the wall

Shades of what Coleman did last year to FSU too

You agree with that call?

 

[Bob Ferrante]

RHP Nicole May in the circle

 

[Bob Ferrante]

You agree with that call?

I think by rule it's accurate, although I don't love the rule. Here it is:

Under the revised rule, it is obstruction if the defensive player, while not in possession of the ball, does the following:

• Blocks any part of the leading edge of first, second or third base or home plate.
• Otherwise blocks the runner from advancing or returning to a base.

 

[Bob Ferrante]

Mudge is out on a dive into foul territory. What a play

Kerr grounds out to 1B

[Bob Ferrante]

Pickering singles

 

[Bob Ferrante]

Although Caylan Arnold objects. Here's her opinion on the obstruction call:

 

[Bob Ferrante]

Hansen hits into a fielder's choice, Pickering is out
