Get our first look at the team this Sunday at 2 p.m. Playing Frank Phillips J.C. at home.
That game is followed by Texas Tech on Oct. 15th also at home.

The team will play Oklahoma State at their facility on October 22nd.

Went to Softball this afternoon. I have good news and bad news. The bad news first - for the rest of the Lone Star: Emilee Boyer has slimed down and gotten stronger. She has also developed
a plus change-up. Wt will again be strong up the middle. As most of us thought Ruffus is now patrolling centerfield. The corner outfield positions appear to be in the hands of incoming
Freshman Emily Liskai (Ohio) and J.C. transfer Halie Stoneking (Barton C.C.) Both players have plus speed, did not see any throws by the outfield. Shortstop and second base are unchanged. Sophomore (Randall) Heaven Moreno is primed to take over at third base for Murtha. Moreno has a good arm with more range. Murtha will probably D.H. The catching time was split between
Booth (Sr.) and Granger (So.) Granger also had an HR. Both are solid behind the plate. Heidi also pitched and appears to be 100% healthy. Also like Tatem Pendgraft (Fr. Amarillo) in the middle infield. First base is secured by returning players Valforte and Guericke. This year's Lady Buff team has more overall speed. It's VERY early in the year. We should know more after the Tech game on the 15th.

Thanks GWB! I was going to call you. No need to now.

Thought the scrimmage against Tech was Oct 15th?

You are currently correct sir! I didn’t realize they took off a week after playing Frank Phillips.

Went to Wt v. TT exhibition this afternoon. It was a 10-inning game. At the end of regulation (7 innings) Wt was leading 5-3. Boyer gave up 3 runs in the first inning due to a lack of control.
She then pitched 6 shut-out innings. Heaven Moreno hit a 3-run HR for the winning margin. Several good plays in the outfield along with 1 error in Left field. Excellent infield defense.
Transfers and incoming freshmen played well. This team appears to have the talent to make another deep run. The more I watch Coach Mook the more I like his coaching style. Another good hire by McBroom.

Thanks for the update. I also like Mook. I do think he overused Boyer last year. I hope he uses Heidi a lot more this year.

Yes McBroom has hired some good coaches, just not for football. We all hope Lynn will be better than average but it won’t happen this year.

My seats are two places down from the girls from who keep the stats, pitch speed, location, pitch count, etc.
Boyer's pitch count for the game was 162. The top speed was 68 mph.

The long awaited softball season starts Friday afternoon. WT heads to Los Lunas, NM to play 5 games, the first of which is against NM Highlands.

I heard from a solid source that the amazing Tyler pitcher, Tatum Goff, who was 42-0 last year left the team because of personality conflicts within the team. While the quality of pitching may have gone down, Tyler is an exceptionally good team on defense and hits very well. In all 5 losses last year WT gave up an average of nearly 6 runs per game. Angelo was the only LSC team to beat Tyler last year, and they did it twice.

Did Goff do a D1 transfer? Anyone know about here whereabouts?

No, she's still enrolled in Tyler, and is offering lessons. Her teammates must not realize what an incredible asset she is. She actually did start her college career in D1.

I wish Mook could have grabbed her but it's too late.

Here's her amazing resume:

Tyler did sign a good freshman pitcher from Sulpher Springs.

I tried for about 30 minutes to watch the feed. Random blurry pictures and error messages was all I got. I have fast internet and tried with Android and iOS. Good luck if you decide to try.

Live stars don't work either. What a train wreck. I'm embarrassed for the LSC.

I believe it's an RMAC sponsored event and they are responsible for the video. I had the same experience.
