Hey Hillcat Fans!
Conference keeps getting tougher, but were hanging in there! This week we had St. Gregs at home. The first game we came out slow but Kaitlin McCool opened it up with a bomb over left field fence. St. Gregs came back and got 2, which put them on top. As a team we haven't been hitting like we usually do. Which makes it hard to come back. We took the first loss 2-1. Both these games are huge for us, so we knew we had to come back with a win in the second game. But, with no hits and mental errors we fail to get that much needed win.
Yesterday was a huge day for the team and our standings. With so much rain lately we were a little nervous we wouldn't get to play, but somehow coach always gets the field ready. We hosted Lubbock Christian, ranked 6th in the nation, at 4 & 6. The first game we couldn't get the hits when they were needed and lost 5-0. Fleck took the loss but pitched rather well. Our offence really needs to step up for her. Which is exactly what we did the second game. With Fleck throwing another great game we came out with some great defencive plays early. LCU hit a 2 run bomb in third. But, with a little grit in our britches we came back and scored 3. McCool started the inning off with a base hit up the middle, I hit and got on by and Error. Shona Guerrero kept it going with a base hit. Taran Threet came up with a huge 2 strike bunt which put me and Shona in scoring position, and let Linsey Curtis hit a 2 run double into right center. All we had to do now was hold them. Fleck really kept it up in the circle throwing lights out. She finished the game Holding LCU to only 7 hits. Hillcats with the win...3-2! This was a HUGE win for the team and showing people were here and not going anywhere.

Rough Start
Hey Hillcat Fans!
This past week was a little tougher than we had expected. We started conference Tuesday at Oklahoma Baptist and didn't come out with the right mind set and lost both. This wasn't how we wanted to start off in conference, but we are a really strong team and knew we could come back from it. Thursday came and we hosted Oklahoma Christian. It was good to be back on our home filed. We lost the first game but played well. Second game was all ours! We came out ready to finally get a win in conference, and that's exactly what we did. The week was almost over but we had one more set of games at Southern Nazarene on Saturday. They were hosting a Cancer awareness game so both teams wore pink ribbons and wrist bands to show our support. We came out strong in the first game and scored 3 on a bomb from Linsey Curtis, and held them to one run. The second game we came out a little slow and weren't getting the hits that were needed. We ended the day with a split. The week was finally over and we got our taste of the SAC, and it was a hard one to chew. 2-4 wasn't how we wanted to start but were strong and a hard working group and I have no doubt we will work our way out of it.
Week 2 is just as full. We were suppose to play USAO yesterday but do to the rain it was cancelled. It was kind of good to get some days to relax and get back to regular practice though. But, we couldn't be anymore ready for Thursday. We host Mid-America at 4 and 6, and really need these wins. So, come out Tomorrow and support your Hillcat softball team!
