Congratulations to Coach Amy Hogue who won her 500th game yesterday at Utah. It came in the first of two wins yesterday against Southern Utah in St. George.
Congrats to Coach Hogue on a great achievement.
Last year the softball was not great as they were pretty young. Returning a lot of playes this year and are already 13-5, having spent all of February mostly in California playing in various pre-season tournaments.
MMMMMM…warm weather. Wins and good weather. Bingo!
two good games in PHX so far. I went tonight. It was great to run two pitchers out of the 2nd inning. 9 runs scored. ended up 15-0 mercy rule after the fifth.
last night they won 9-5 i believe that ASU was ranked coming into the weekend.
Indeed, I think ASU is ranked #21.
On Friday, it was indeed 9-5 with Utah scoring 7 runs in the 8th inning to break a 2-2 tie.
I didn’t watch Saturday’s game, but with the blowout, now 2-0 in Big XII play and 20-5 overall (with a 10 game winning streak). I would imagine ASU doesn’t get usually get a mercy rule win at home. Must have been a lot of fun to be there @arizonaute and see 3 homeruns and a 1 hitter from Maestretti.
Mia Gomez looks like a star on the come. Amazing that Hogue plucked her out of ASU’s backyard.
Differences so far between last year and this year. The line up is much deeper with good hitters (saw some truly patient and excellent at-bats so far against ASU) and the defense is playing very well.
To borrow a phrase from Bull Durham “…and kicked the ■■■■out of Greensboro Arizona State in a three game set.”
Yesterday, an 11-6 win. Scored 5 runs in the top of the 1st and cruised.
also the bench did not stop with chatter the whole we were sitting right behind them. my favorite one was after a hit batter “hey leave our batter alone” entertaining game for sure.
Last summer I worked a couple of state level softball tournaments (for 14U and 16U). The chants from the dugouts were impressively creative and fun. Those softball players really know how to do that sort of thing. Though hearing that for five days straight, got a touch annoying.
Yesterday at Dumke the Utes whipped Abilene Christian 13-3 and 13-0 sweeping a doubleheader and today at Noon, a single game vs. Abilene. Take the afternoon off and go cheer the Utes.
The wins yesterday means that Utah now is on an 11 game winning streak.
And the Ski Utes win another NCAA championship!
The thing that is so exciting about this softball team is that a lot of the damage is being done by freshman. Coach has a good thing going right now!
A bit unfortunate to get the winning streak snapped by Abilene while leaving the bases loaded twice in that game. Timely and good situational hitting has been seen a lot this year, and I guess this type of game was going to happen at some point.
Let’s see what conference season holds. Already off to a 3-0 start.
Bravo Lady Utes 4-0 over #1 Texas Tech. Love the bouquet of bats to the winning pitcher!
That was hilarious how they just kept piling stuff on her head and in her arms during the postgame interview.
Great win! Lets get a series dub tomorrow!
