Tough loss. We had them on the final out. We'll get another chance against them, though.

The Lady Techsters missed at least 4 balls looking into the sun because our ladies weren't wearing sunglasses. That's what cost us a win over UT. You'd think after the first couple missed flies our coach would've made them put on their sunglasses.
Moral of the story: Wear sunglasses when it's sunny!
After 3 innings of softball Lady Techsters 1 - Texas 2
Texas gets another run in the 4th. 1-3
Tech loses 2-9.
In 30 mins Tech plays again vs South Carolina.
The Lady Techsters are tied up with undefeated S. Carolina (7-0) at 2-2 in the bottom of the 5th inning. Tech is batting with a runner on 1st and one out.
Going to the 6th still tied at 2-2.
Tech is down to its last out trailing 3-4 with runners on 1st and 2nd.
Techsters lose 3-4. The previous inning we scored on a double steal and got called safe at home plate. Then after a long 'talk' by the umpires they over-ruled themselves and called Ball out. It was the margin S. Carolina needed to win.
Tech vs S. Carolina again tomorrow at 11AM to finish the tournament.
Thanks DogsWin. Was hoping they would get the win.
