Randi Parks pitched the first game.
Freshman Whitney Johnson won her first game in the 2nd game. (Whitney graduated from high school in December)

Portland State was picked to win their conference so that was a decent win. Northridge was picked 5th in the Big West.

Things really ramp up with Arizona though, they were preseason #6 in the country.

That second game sounded pretty weird:

North Dakota State 5th - McKenzie singled to center field (2-0). Fraijo
to p for Pagano. Lynn walked (3-2); McKenzie advanced to second. Mortensen
fouled out to 3b, bunt (1-0). Pipkin reached on a throwing error by p, advanced
to third on the error (3-2); Lynn scored, unearned; McKenzie scored, unearned.
Pipkin, unearned. Victa struck out swinging (2-2). Rivera popped up to 2b
(0-2). 3 runs, 1 hit, 1 error, 0 LOB.

So did Pipkin round the bases on a bad pitch? Or did she steal home after reaching third on a bad pitch?

[roadwarrior]

It looks like Pipkin might have scored by stealing home. The way that the play by play is written, it looks like a period separates each play.

If so, not surprising the way Darren coaches.

They got the game story up on gobison now....

Maryssa McKenzie led off the fifth inning with a single and moved to second when Lynn received a walk. With one out, Pipkin reached on a throwing error that chased home McKenzie and Lynn, and eventually allowed Pipkin to circle the bases.

looks like to me that she struck out swinging but the pitcher threw a bad pitch so she reached base and the opposing team kept throwing the ball around which lead to her eventual score.
