That stunk, but I was happy that the Gator bats woke up towards the end of the game - I'm hoping that's gotten them back in their rhythm.
I agree that the whole BS non-HBP call on DeFelice got things going the wrong way for our gals. Add that to the curious plate expansion and contraction (depending on the pitcher) and our gals were just out of sorts. I can't stand that umpire, myself - she doesn't make a strike call until almost a good 30 seconds to a minute after the pitch has crossed the plate. The minute I saw that woman was behind the dish, I said to my sister, "Okay, everything's going ASU's way today." I'm not sure, but these ladies seem to really bring it on when they're under pressure. They'd been having an okay season but wasn't really "in contention" after the six-game losing streak. Enter Alabama, who was ranked #2 or #3 at the time for a 3-game series in Gainesville. The first game, Stephanie Brombacher (who was pitching for the first time since she'd torn her bicep) got pummeled and the Gators lost big. The next day, after trailing the entire game, Kelsey Bruder hit a 3-run walk-off HR to win the game; the game after that, more Gator heroics in the late innings to quash the Tide. The remainder of the season, less the SEC Tournament, the team went on a roll. Enter the CWS: after losing a heartbreaker to ASU, the gals put beat-downs on a seemingly-untouchable pitcher for Missouri, and then a 2-game destruction of the SEC Tournament & Season Champion Alabama to get into the CWS. I'm hoping this trend continues, and they stick a big old FORK in ASU and the PAC-10.
