Her name is Hillary Bach, she looks to be as good as Andi and is only a freshman.

BTW: The Sun Devils are two wins away from their 4th consecutive trip to the Women's Collegiate World Series (WCWS).
They will be pumped.

Here's some crappy news I found: I was looking at the TV schedule, and there's only 6 possible games in the Super Regionals that will not be on either ESPN or ESPN2, just ESPNU. And three of those games are the potential three games of our series with AZ State. So basic cable fans in the area are out of luck on this one.:banghead:

This is equally as big as the Mens tournament run with out question. If they can pull it off they will be featured all week. Probably even a school wide feature on the transition with all of the success of VB, SB, and Mens Basketball.

The best part is we have nothing to lose again. ASU is expected to win and will be thinking of avoiding embarrassment if they would happen to lose to us in their own mind. A great scenario for ASU to play tight if we can get out to early leads.

This is awesome for the team and the school and an incredible accomplishment, even larger than the basketball team. But to say this is equally as big as the men's tournament indicates you don't understand the scope of the men's tournament. Many people that I talked to during the tournament (and even someone I saw at a first communion party last weekend) mentioned the NDSU basketball run. Nobody I know will even be aware of this. Women's softball doesn't have the visibility of men's basketball, especially March Madness.

Good luck to the Bison though and I hope they shock the softball world!

oh yeah the exposure for the bball tourney is far and away from this... but our games vs. ASU will be the biggest game thus far...

Just added the 300's to cable again to get the U. A softball game is supposed to be on, yet Duke-UNC lacrosse (which I think was played a couple days ago) is on. Is there rain at the other softball game? I hope we are still on at 6! ;)

The on air also said a softball game was going on though while I was looking at Lax on the screen. That was my concern. Regardless of rain, they are being played at completely different locations so that would have no bearing on our game. Lets keep our fingers crossed and hope for the best! ;)

you could try changing your IP to an NDSU ip address to get 360.. There are some videos on you tube how to do it and it seems easy but i didnt try..

Typical BS attitude. Makes me ill.

I think we have to lay off the first pitch tomorrow. Gotta get some runners early.

DjKyRo
05-23-2009, 01:00 AM
Agreed. I think cranking up a 1-0 lead early in the game would shut them up pretty quickly. "Hey, maybe these guys are legit."

Jeez.

But moreover, I think just getting this exposure and playing at this level is awesome in and of itself - it'd just be nice if the commentators gave us a bit more credit.

Went to the game today.

Good crowd, decent number of NDSU fans.

NDSU made some great plays to keep in the game - fantastic catch by the center fielder, heads up play by the catcher to get the runner in the run down.

ASU's first run was bogus - she was out at second on the steal.



NDSU looked overmatched at the plate.

ESPNU at 3:30 PM Central time. "When needed" the second game will be at
5:30 PM.

I watched the game yesterday, and may this is aready posted but it looked to me like ASU top to bottom was a much better hitting team than Tulsa or Oklahoma.

Andi Padilla just needs to settle down, and I feel NDSU will win game 2.

Lets Go Bison!!
