Message: [QUOTE="llandz, post: 289214, member: 1679"] I was at all of the games, except for the last one. One of the player's parents sent me updates during that game. The Orange women played really well during the 3 days of play. Yesterday, they almost beat ASU the first go around. They led most of the game, but ASU had 3 runs in the 5th inning, and we lost 3-1. But still gave them a tough game. So I was not at all surprised with the win against them this afternoon. Here are the highlights of the 3 days of games. In order of play, not accomplishment. 1. On Friday, in the first game against Long Beach St., Lisaira Daniels had an [B]in-the-park[/B] home run. I got a big hug from her after the game, when I congratulated her. According to her mother she will be a graduate assistant on the team next season, while pursuing a masters degree. Her younger sister, Shirley, is also on the team. 2. Jenna Caira pitched unbelievably in each of the 5 games. Especially in the win over ASU today. She pitched a lot of innings over the 3 days. 3. In the Saturday night game against Long Beach St. Jasmine Watson hit a homerun that was the talk of Tempe last night and all day today. It may have been the longest home run hit in the history of the ASU Farrington softball stadium. (That is according to ASU). Cleared 2 fenced areas, a dirt parking area, and hit a building in the distance. Would have been out of any MLB park in the country. All of the ASU fans talked about it today everytime she came up to bat. Today was well over 100 degrees. I think around 105. I am sure that ASU had more experience with the heat, altho I saw absolutley no signs that the Orange women struggled with it at all in the 3 days. The fans on the other hand were struggling. I saw a couple of people being bought out with heat exhaustion. As someone who recently relocated from NJ to AZ, I was excited to see a Syracuse team out here. I was spoiled when I lived in NJ with all of the opportunities I had to see SU sports there. Also the coach had a number of players at the game who used to play for her at Bowling Green, and now live in AZ. Saturday night, we had a nice turn out of our alums at the game. [/QUOTE]
