agree with you on this '56. They are putting together a very good resume.
I'm sure you've seen this but for those on this board that don't go over to Robo....there's a bracketology posted there that has the Cajuns as the 16 seed, and would go to Texas for the Super if they win their regional.
I thought that was interesting.

The Cajuns won their game over the Tigers so convincingly last night, it had me wondering if they have improved that much from earlier in the season or if LSU has just really regressed. I think still Berzon is a very good pitcher, but she just doesn't seem to have the offense nor especially the defense behind her like she needs to have. Just me, though.

The LSU Tigers are interesting. Their offensive numbers are decent but they are leaving 48.3% of their runners on base. WOW! They have scored only 249 runs for 5.4 runs a game. They allow 2.94 runs a game which does not leave much room for mistakes.

Berzon is carrying a big load as she has 142 innings with Lynch and Chaffin having 147 innings combined.

With Ava Brown pitching a shutout, Florida led 2-0 through 4 innings. In the top of the 5th, FSU got two straight singles off of Brown and committed an error for one run to score. Florida brought in Wooten to pitch. After an error by Florida, a SAC bunt and an intentional walk, Florida brought in Miller. FSU then went on to score 11 more runs in the inning that included 2 HRs by players that hit their first HR of the season. All the damage was done against the two weak links of the Florida pitching staffs.

I wish I knew why Rothrock was not used by Florida in the game.

On Wednesday, Louisiana defeated McNeese State 5-4. Imagine the contrast. The Rajin Cajuns beat LSU 9-4 on Tuesday and then McNeese just 5-4 on Wednesday.

I do not know why Rothrock was not used, but Florida does have a 3 game series with Georgia starting tomorrow (Fri), and I would expect she will get the start on both Friday and Sunday. Perhaps starting Wed night against Fla St, who's not in their conference anyway, might have been a bit too much. Just my thoughts.

Brown pitched well through 4 innings and had a little trouble to open the 5th. Not going to Rothrock at that point was what I questioned. I thought starting Brown made sense. Wooten has not been good all season. Miller has had her moments, but not many.

You can tell which game Florida values by who they start in the circle. Starting Brown is a sign they valued the Georgia games more.
