That South Carolina Upstate team that we run-ruled today had a 21-2 record. One of their losses was an 11 inning affair with Kentucky.

Lauren Haeger is turning into a fearsome power hitter hitter. Both Fuller and Castro have the potential for power hitting. As the year wears on we could become the
Hogtown Lumber Company! (Yeah, I know, the bats ain't wood --- humor me, I'm on a roll here)

i like: Hogtown Lumber Company. good one!

but i fear associating 'hog' w/ women might not go over too well.

Heck of a team and very young. Should do well this year, but think very good chance to win it all in 2014. All 3 pitchers back along with most players overall. Another great class coming in, but might not be many starting spots to win with the talent coming back.

Wait till Fuller, takes off and she will.

If Haeger keeps up this pace, she is going to be seeing a lot of IBBs in the coming weeks.

My other take away from this game is that it's really strange that most of these mid-major schools we've faced all year don't start one of their top pitchers against us. It's like they have given up before the game even started.

The girl from Upstate last night was their #4 pitcher who had 3 appearances and no starts coming in and they relieved her with their #3. Meanwhile they have a couple of pitchers who are quite good as their record would indicate. I just don't get it?

They are going straight from Gainesville to a three game set with Jacksonville ...conference games for them. Probably holding their best for their conference games.
