If we can actually score some runs I might feel differently
They made a point of injuries to KK that were on going this year. Perhaps the coach is not willing to risk further injury.

Still a good season, disappointing end

Bison lose 8-0 in 5, mercy rule. Horrible end to a good season. I dont think we got a runner to 3rd in 2 games. But thanks to the seniors. Wish it could have ended better

wow. they probably had the toughest region...but to not even threat to score a run shows how far away the ndsu bats are against the best pitchers in the country.

That Drake Pitcher should play DT for their football team.

Regular season is a breeze vs average competition. If you cant score you cant win in the tournament. Even the years we've won, it's been low scoring games. Not worried at all about pitching since it's a lot to ask for a true freshman to dominate in her first run. How do we fix the bats in the playoffs? Unless we can suddenly have mega bats, do we need to go to a more small ball style in the playoffs?
Re: NDSU vs Drake NCAA Regional Elimination game
Good season ladies!
As a casual listener to the two games, what did Mueller and the players do, if anything, to disrupt these two outstanding pitchers? Could they have bunted more, tried some slap hits or crowd the plate more? Just seems we were very vanilla on trying to get on base.
Re: NDSU vs Drake NCAA Regional Elimination game
Bats going quiet in the NCAA is always the downfall for NDSU. There is a big difference seeing 60-65 mph fastballs compared to the tourney when you see 65-70 mph stuff. Our bats always seem to be late and therefore minimal power on any hits. The ladies had a really good season and will come back and get more next year.
