This let's me know Dean got his head out of his ass, and Penta wasn't just dealing with another injury.

If Penta is in top form, you gotta think she's better than who A&M has, since A&M already had to use two of their top pitchers yesterday.

@NumberNineteen I see you in this topic. Making contact doesn't seem to be a problem, locating the ball to green is the problem. Can that be coached, or is that just pure luck based on how the bat contacts the ball?
 
T3 AU 0 TAMU 0

Perry - K Looking on 3 pitches, 1 Out
Packer - F8, flyout to CF, 2 Out
Koepke - Single up the middle, steals 2B
Dowell - Walk
King - 4-3, groundout to 2B, 3 Out

The outside corner grew a little that inning. AU got their first base runners of the day but left 2 on.

Those pitches were 6 inches away from where the end of her bat would be. I don't think they were strikes, but I'm not behind the plate.
I agree that they looked off the plate but all 3 were the exact same pitch and as a hitter you have to adjust to what the ump is calling and not just stand there looking.

Agreed. But that was the first batter those had been called. Penta sure didn’t get that in the first.

Alright, those two runs are my fault. I stepped away for a bit. Penta has been getting out of those jams when I've been watching.
 
They were maybe an inch off the plate

Very hittable

Perry can't hit anything over the plate 80% of the time. If it was Cox or King, I'd be mad. I have very low expectations for Perry and even think she should be replaced in the lineup.

TAMU to the circle with a visit
