Will any of the games be on tv

Sorry Chris I was wondering about later in the weekend. Didn't mean to ask the same question.

South Alabama?

P.S. - auburn can go to hell

Watch it live here

This is interesting. Locke is good but I'm concerned with her experience in a game like this.

Edit: Scratch that. I was thinking of someone else.

Tide jumps out to a 2-0 lead in the first, still batting.

Postgame Quotes

South Alabama
Head Coach Becky Clark
Opening Statement: “It was an amazing win. I think that we say that over and over again. It has gotten redundant but I love that we do get to keep saying it over and over. These young ladies don’t quit. They never die. This has kind of been our M.O. all season long. There is no thinking that the game is over when you are behind, you fight to the very end. When you win, the student-athletes are the ones on the field getting it done. I cannot say enough about what a great job they did and what a great win this was for our program.”

On leaving 16 runners on base throughout the game “I can’t remember a game in the past where we have left 16 on and still got the win. I believe that it is a testament to them. Like I said, they don’t quit. It is easy to get frustrated in that position and start pressing at the plate. A thing they do an incredible job of is not letting the situation get to them. They are a very even-keeled approach; we try not to get too high or low. I think that we do a great job of that. Kaitlyn Griffith coming up and missing two bunts and then coming out with that huge hit, that is where are the swings in the cage pay off. She is one of our hardest working kids. It could not have happened to a more deserving young lady. You know that you want the ball game in her hands because she is a gamer. She is going to do everything she can to help her team.”

On the teams approach at the plate: “I thought that our offense was solid. We hit well, even with leaving 16 on base. We hit well we just couldn’t get that one big hit to break it open. I am starting to think that they just like to make it dramatic for our fans. They like to make it interesting. It seems like we do this over and over. I thought overall our approach at the plate was great. We talk a lot about being aggressive in the strike zone. After watching a lot of film on Georgia Tech, we really felt that we needed to make sure we were in the strike zone and not help them out by going for stuff outside of the strike zone. I thought that kids did a great job of that. When they put something there they put great swings on it.”

#12, Hannah Campbell, P
On Georgia Tech as a hitting team: “They are a great hitting team. When people are on base, you can’t think about that. When they get a hit you just have to shake it off and keep pitching. You go out there with your best and if they can hit it well then good for them. You do your best to shut them down and in the end we did.”

On her thoughts going into the last inning: “The end of the game is when you have to be at your strongest. I knew that I had to go out there and be my strongest. That is the inning that I really had to focus in the most and finish it.”

Big upset: Miami Ohio 1, Tennessee 0.
