Plus, a big plus, is do to the nature of the two programs. Baseball maybe recruits two or three HS kids every year and it seems like dozens of juco and D1 transfers who are only around a year or two so they can get a last look at by the MLB scouts. Softball goes almost exclusively with HS girls who are here for four or five years. Fans get to know them. Loyalty develops. Fans become interested in the players as people. That seldom happens with baseball.
Plus the girls are much better looking than the average baseball player.
Oh, by the way, the preseason LSC 7th pick Lady Buffs are now in the D2 World Series Championship 2 of 3 finals. They just knocked out Augustana, 9-4. They've won 19 of their last 20.
Things like that are why WT fans have gravitated to the softball program.
I hope that helps answer your question, Pops.Last edited by BuffaloChip; 05-29-2021, 09:47 PM.

WT eliminates #1 seed Augustana 9-4. I expected this to be a very tough game to win, and it didn't help having the umpire call an illegal pitch on Emilee Wilson. That's by far the most upset I've seen Coach Mook, and he was issued a formal warning. The commentators looked at the replay multiple times and could find no issues.
Neverthless Wilson and Kyra Lair held offensive powerhouse Augustana to 2 runs each, and WT returns to the world series finals for the first time since 2014 to face unbeaten Biola.
If you didn't know, Mook used to be the assistant coach at Augustana.

Are any of you having issues with the webcasts? My tablet hangs up sometimes after returning for ads, but it may be the hotel's internet.

Unfortunately the weather forecast is not good starting this afternoon and tomorrow. No telling when they can finish the tournament.

St. Anselm has 2 pitchers with ERA's in the 0.8 range. One averaging 12 KO's per 7 innings.
Another amazing win considering the quality of the opponent's pitching and amazing 3rd baseman. Lair started off badly but got her act together. I thought we were in big trouble behind 2-0 but these kids rise to the occasion. Like 3 other pitchers in the game Emilee got nailed early but adjusted nicely. WT will play at least 2 more games.
9-3 WT!

Wow! Game 2 WT 9-3 over St. Anselm. Lady Buffs chased the NCAA Pitcher of the Year in a 7 run 3rd inning. Lair pitched a pretty good 5 innings. She's only given up 2 runs in 12 innings. Wilson came in and did a good job the last 2 innings after giving up a 1st pitch HR in the 6th.
The big surprise (other than WT) was Biola shutting out Auustana. Biola has now shut out N Georgia and Augie. It's getting INTERESTING!

The amazing thing about this team is Wt has 14 Freshman, 14 FRESHMAN. Wt will still be a young team next year, with playoff experience. Wt might need to bring in some upperclassmen just for class balance. Lair and Wilson are Sophomores and Mook has two incoming freshman pitchers that are really good. It's good to be a Buffalo.
Biola, whoever that is, defeated #1 seed Augustana 3-0 earlier. Shocking!

Either way, we will need Wilson to get through the next 2 games, and hopefully more. Mook should be an easy choice for Coach of the Year. Yes, that was a very good game yesterday, WT does belong in this tournament!Last edited by Great White Buffalo; 05-28-2021, 01:02 PM.
