Male topped Holy Cross (Lou) 3-1 in 5 innings. They will play McCracken this AM.

McCracken's pitching, I thought, was their weak link last season. Depth and hitting are definite pluses for them, but they had no pitchers that were what I would consider "studs" last year.

Holy Cross' pitcher looked very good. I believe it was their senior, Gailor.

Saw a little of Mercy at opposite field playing Green County. Mercy won 2-0 in 7, and was probably indicative to what they will do this year, which is the same as last season. Not score many runs, and ride Thomas in the circle until her arm falls off. With a pitcher of her caliber, it's a useable strategy, but I'd risk trading early season "W"s for tournament innings on her arm, and use a different pitcher as the middle of the season progresses, personally.

Won't make it down today, so I'll check back here for some details, hopefully.

No need to worry about Thomas' arm the game you saw against Green co was pitched by freshman pitcher. Who will be giving Thomas solid back-up. That freshman was 2-0 for the weekend.

Mercy has a solid number 2 pitcher now Freshman Lexi Ray. She got the win against Green Co.

No doubt Mercy has a pitcher to help Thomas and Mercy make another run at the state tournament this June. Freshman pitcher was 2 - 0 this weekend, both shut outs. Beating Green Co, and Anderson co.
