Rowland hard liner right back to the pitcher. She caught it in self defense.

McSwain hit on the knee, she never flinched. Takes 1st. She's a tough kid.

Seggern out swinging on 4 pitches. Bad at bat. Pitcher has a good change. Seggern looked foolish.

MccLain beats out a chopper! 2 on 2 out.

Leach passed ball, runners advance. Leach walks after a full count. Bases loaded.

Holcomb ground out to short. Strands 3. Gotta have those.

Last year Mattie always gets the ball and throws the ball. Since you have seen her many times this year is the still the way she pitches or does she seem to be slowing it down some? Arnold coming in and doing so well so far may have put pressure on Mattie.

She takes a lot of time. Has had a couple time violations called against her.

Moss full count then calls time. What's up? Don't know. Couple of fouls then strike out swinging!

Next batter blasts one out over right center. 3 to 2 UCSB

Next batter pop fly out to Seggern.

Pop fly to Leach.

Moss is all over the place. I won't be surprised if she doesn't last.

Vines ground out to 3rd.

Our lefties are slapping out too much to 3rd. Need to use the whole field.

Gregg ground out to first. If she had been patient I think she would have walked. She was ahead 2 to 0 in the count.

Geer doubles to center field wall.

Rowland single up the middle! Geer scores. Game tied 3 to 3.

Moss called 3rd strike out 1.

UCSB coach complaining. Don't know what about.

Ground out to short.

Mile high fly to short. Inning over.

Moss did better.

New pitcher for UCSB.

Seggern walks after being down 2 strikes.

UCSB pitchers throwing lots of changes.

McClain single to right! Runners at the corners.

Mcclain steals second. Leach oh no line shot caught at the shoe by center. Runners hold.

Lockman to pinch for Holcomb against the lefty pitcher.

Another change. Single to left! 1 run in, throw mishandled by third gets away, McClain pours it on and gets in. 2 runs in. Runner to 2nd.

Vines, a change, what else. Dang called strike 3. Out 2.

Gregg up. Being pitched to carefully. Full count. Dang called 3rd strike.

Bad ending but TN goes up 5 to 3 after 4.

Top of 5th. Lockman to catch.

Moss brings the heat. Strike out!

Off the fists for an out to Gregg.

Moss in the dirt suddenly. 2 balls then 2 strikes. Fly out to Holcomb who misplayed it but recovered to make the catch.

No runs in.

Bottom of 5th.

Geer full count then flies out left. She got that one too far in on her hands.

Rowland more change ups and off speed stuff. Adjust. She adjusted on that one almost took Shipman's head off. Then called 3rd strike.

McSwain way way out in front. Goodness nothing but off speed stuff girls, adjust. Called 3rd strike. Wow.

5 to 3 TN after 5.

Top of 6th TN 5 UCSB 3. Moss pitching.

1st pitch line drive out to McClain.

Moss's change up missing. Wow that one was perfect, called 3rd strike.

Dang, double down the 3rd base line.

Strike 1, strike 2, ground out to short. No runs in, UCSB strands one.

Bottom of 6th.

Seggern misses badly. This off speed junk is fooling the TN batters. Heck, I can hit it why can't they? Out swinging.

McClain gawd almighty fooled by a change. This is not that hard girls. Pops out to 3rd.

Leach, time for a 2 out rally.

Two quick strikes then 2 balls. At least she isn't swinging at the junk. Full count. Foul down the left field line misses by a foot. The change does NOT fool her. She walks.

Lockman in place of Holcomb. Leach steals with 2 outs! Come on drive this run in. Walks on 4 pitches.

Vines up. The middle is wide open. 2 more balls. UCSB conference. Ball 3. Walks! Bases loaded for Gregg.

Be patient, she has to pitch to you. Bases clearing double to the wall!

Geer up. Ground out to 2nd.

3 runs in, TN 8 to 3 after 6.

Foul ball strike one. Ball 1. Hard strike on the outside corner. Foul. Another. Full count. Called 3rd strike! 2 down.

Hard strike on the corner. That is an unhittable pitch. If she hits that corner at that speed a right handed batter has no chance.

Foul strike 2. Foul behind home. Another. Strike out swinging!

Game over. TN 8 UCSB 3.

Classic "trap" game. This team is feeling it. With the ability to manufacture runs with one or two outs, it puts pressure on the opponents to play every pitch. It takes a toll in the long run psychologically. Still may drop a game but it is much less likely now.

I wasn't sure Mattie would finish it. She seems to start slowly for some reason. She struggled just a tiny bit in the first couple of innings. Once she starts hitting that corner however, she is almost unhittable. Great job at staying focused.
