May 31, 201412 yr Elimination game. Baylor wins earlier today on home run shots. Nunnley has thrown almost 1,500 pitches since post-season. Does she have it in her to keep the Cats going ?
May 31, 201412 yr Author #9 hitter Carroll runs count 3-2 and blasts one to deep center for a 2 run HR with 2 outs. Mamma gets HR ball and we got a pitching change.
June 1, 201412 yr Worst coaching move I've seen in a long time at that level. How you don't pull your pitcher, at least to see if a different look slows Baylor down. But no, she rides the one trick horse and blows the lead. Great coach but bad coaching non-decision.
June 1, 201412 yr Biggest choke job in world series history. UK should be ashamed with that implosion. Totally ridiculous. Horrible play by the 2nd baseman, horrible pitching and horrible coaching by letting Nunley stay in. Sad they will be remembered for the biggest choke job in history when they finally make it to the college world series for first time in school history. Embarrasing.
June 1, 201412 yr This is pitiful. This rests on Coach Lawson's shoulders. Her fault UK lost. Have a 7-0 lead going to the bottom of the 6th and see your starting pitcher is getting tired and refuse to take her out. That's pitiful. She might have took the spirit out of Nunley but hey at least she could have had another game tomorrow.
June 1, 201412 yr This loss is 100% on Coach Lawson. The decision not to take Nunley out was extremely stupid and stubborn on her part and cost Kentucky from competing for a national championship. Makes no sense at all. I hate it for the players because they did everything it took to win and their coach let them down. Pitiful.
June 1, 201412 yr Also a poor move having your OF playing in with 2 outs and up 2 in the 7th. I didn't understand that either. Play back to prevent a double. They play back then game is over.

Sad they will be remembered for the biggest choke job in history when they finally make it to the college world series for first time in school history. Embarrasing. This was not embarrassing. This team should have never made it out of the super regionals at UCLA. Nunley simply ran out of steam. This team placed SEVENTH in the SEC, I would say they over achieved in the post season. There was no choking by UK in my opinion. You consider an error choking? How about the SIX hits Baylor put up in the 6th? Let's see, how about the error from Baylor in right field? Is that choking? The only question I had is why not put Cumbness (1st baseman) in to give Baylor a different look? That is what I put on Lawson. Congratulations to UK softball, they had 1 heck of a run and congratulations to Glenn Moore, Mark Lumley and Britni Sneed Newman for advancing. You couldn't ask for 3 more deserving people.
