Updates: South Carolina defeats FSU 4-0 in game 1 on Sun.

Single through the left side plates both runners. FSU was one strike away from an escape and couldn’t manage it.

4-0 SC, B5
 
Royalty finally gets out of the inning with a K. But not before South Carolina doubles its lead.

4-0 SC as we head to the sixth.
 
A bit surprised that Gobourne is back on the mound for the Gamecocks. I guess they have to hold on here to force the final game, but the more she throws in this oppressive heat, the less she’ll likely be able to in Game 2.

You can’t win with no runs but it sure looks like the team’s mentality was “great if we win the first game but we are playing for the second game”. The downside is its a different mentality than which led to the winning streak.
Sure seems like a different feel from the players.

A make things interesting game. Going to be good when they blow them away.
 
Kerr can’t quite check her swing on a high fastball and strikes out. 15 straight FSU batters have been retired and we’re three outs away from an if-necessary game.

4-0 SC, M6
 
Really nice diving catch by Muffley at short denies a leadoff hit.
 
Pop out to second retires SC in order in the sixth.

FSU trailing 4-0 heading to the seventh and will need four runs this inning or it will have to play another game today.
 
Pop out to the pitcher’s circle is caught by the third baseman. FSU down to its final out in this one.
 
Flaherty flies out to left. South Carolina wins 4-0 and forces the if-necessary game of the Tallahassee Regional.

After Devyn Flaherty’s second-inning leadoff single, the final 18 FSU batters of the game were retired.

Man I hope going with Dubois and Royalty instead of going for jugular in game 1 with Kat or Reid doesn’t come back to haunt us…..

Arrogant to start your 3rd or 4th option on the mound. They hammered UCF's junk baller last night. Did we not scout them?
They were definitely prepared for Dubois and took advantage of her. I agree, not going for the jugular with Kat or Reid is puzzling. Hope it does not come back to haunt us.

That was the first time FSU has been shut out since…Miss State beat FSU 5-0 in the first game of last year’s Tallahassee Regional Championship.

A foreboding stat that doesn’t necessarily mean anything.

Don’t understand basically playing for a game two by rolling out your #4 and #5 pitcher….
 
As a head's up, we will jump over to a new thread for the second game:

Thanks for all you do, Sir.

Very poor choices made this day. So unnecessary.
