LV's need to take this 1st game. VA now knows they can play with us and if they can do that they can beat us. Come out with A+ game ladies and win it in one game. Hope Pickens is throwing controlled fire today.

Has Pickens been announced the starter.

Has Pickens been announced the starter.

Not that I have seen but cannot imagine she wouldn't since she has not started any of the regional games yet. Guess Karen could start Nuwer and use Pickens in relief but this is a big game to win. Lose and it becomes a winner take all game. You don't want that.

UVA has been hitting so many HR and I worry that KP isn’t a great matchup for their bats. Maybe starting Erin or Sage would be better and let KP finish it. We’ll see, but really need to close it out in game one.

Lady Vols all the way baby!

 

[Ovol]

I would go with Erin.

 

[Hoosier]

How about Pickens, then Nuwer, then Mardjetko -- each taking one time through the lineup -- then bring Pickens back to close it out -- three different looks to keep the UVA batters from getting too comfortable -- could work

If we make it through, and bc we are the highest seed…wouldn’t that mean GA would come to us in Supers? Isn’t that right…?

Bottom line is that we need to continue being very aggressive at the plate. They need to have the mentality that it's going take at least 5 runs to win it. Virginia offense is potent.

Yep
