    Mercer D keeping them in this. Gator bats have definitely cracked this pitcher, but Mercer outfield making some plays to keep them around

    Falby needs to try to slap in harder into the dirt or something to get the ball to bounce high, some of these slaps are just routine ground balls for the fielders

    With that said, if that same girl is still on the mound, next inning is definitely the one to try to blow this open. I don't know the make up of the Mercer team but if they have any kind of reliever Im sure we'll see her in the 5th.

    I know. I just think she is just as good if not better just standing in there and swinging normally, especially with runners on base and 2 outs.

    Surprised Shumaker got a greenlight to swing on 3-0 with no one on.
