May be Germans, but damn Softball was a hard luck loser last night

4-3 to BYU in 10 innings. (They play 7 normally)

Had 2nd and 3rd with no outs in the 1st and got nothing.
Had bases loaded with no outs and hit into a triple play.
Had runner at 3rd with 1 out and BYU made a great defensive play

Oregon, the host and #11 national seed, beat Portland State 7-3 so State plays Portland State today at 4 p.m. in an elimination game. BYU has already beaten Oregon twice this season, so its conceivable that BYU will beat Oregon today. Unlike baseball, the second elimination game is on Day 2. So hopefully State will play 2 today.

That is absolutely unheard of in fast-pitch softball

BYU won it in the ninth inning ... Wish we could have gotten to the 10th because MSU had top of the order up in that at-bat

what is the status of Becker, if she pitches today fine Vann was going for the whole damn thing like she should have (throw 2/3 against #3seed try to win and come back today against #1 with your #1, but we lost 1st game), if Becker don't pitch today ...we lost our best pitcher against Bama in the meaningless SECT ...we need to rethink that and if there is bama hate, we have to let that go ...we are not on the level of Bama at this time.

we had a couple of illegal pitches. not sure how many I want to say mstatesb tweeted out we had 2 all year and like 3 in that game

we have the pitcher from UGA coming in next year, to return Becker, we need a legit fr can that learn and be ready next year.

She needed to throw Becker in the SEC Tournament because MSU was not guaranteed in the NCAA Tournament ... so you had to throw here there

MSU is one of two No. 3 seeds from the SEC ... Kentucky is the other, so there were the last couple in ... Heck, even Arkansas was seeded as a No. 2

Becker has been hurt for the past month and will need work done during the off-season ... This was a throw her until she can't throw anymore deals

i thought we were a 2seed, which would have made sect meaningless.

arkansas is a 2 seed? they went 27-26 and finished 7-21 in SECT

However, they did have eight wins against the RPI Top 10 and they beat three different teams which at one time were No. 1 in the country

They had great difficulty beating the weaker teams in the league but what put them seeded higher than MSU were league wins over Alabama and Tennessee
