Irish lost 9-1...

We couldn’t quite catch up to their pitcher, but I don’t think we were far off. We need to adjust to pitching that’s a little faster. Holloway continued to miss the plate, and that hurt, but I wasn’t alarmed. She looked like a very good control pitcher who simply lost a little composure as a freshman pitching against a pretty darn good PAC 12 team in her second day outside. We had some errors late, but not really embarrassing. Just first game stuff. I do hope we can get Ali Wester back in the outfield.

I will have what you are drinking.

This team is not good.

Hard to compete with warm weather teams. Michigan...

is the only cold weather school that has been competitive with the elite teams from the South and Southwest.

Since 2001 several cold weather teams have appeared in

the Women's College World Series.

The teams include Iowa, DePaul, Nebraska, Missouri, Oklahoma, Northwestern and Michigan.

Weather is an excuse. You get what you emphasize and deserve.

EDIT: 1982 (1st year NCAA sanctioned) to 2001 appearances include U Mass, Kent State, Toledo, Northern Illinois, Creighton, Central Michigan, Indiana, Western Michigan, Utah, Utah State, Princeton and Adelphi.

I'd rather have regular appearances in Oklahoma City *

I'll take *any* appearances in Oklahoma City *
