Beating the Gamecocks gives Sara another shot at FSU tomorrow at noon. Watching her from the outfield camera, virtually EVERY pitch she throws is illegal. It's all a matter of whether it gets called or not. This rule really needs to get changed soon. That's what I thought as well. Could never really see her dragging the toe. With it being an issue 2 years ago at the college world series you woulda thunk that Erickson would have corrected it. Either that or didn't care as long they didn't call it during the season and she got him to the post season. If she has been doing it all her life it must be something that would be tough to change. We will miss her greatly in the future. 100 wins? Tough to replace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Sellular mentioned, she's only been called 4 times during the entire season She wasn't called for it until the... 3rd (?) inning when the FSU coaches complained to the refs. It's a hard habit to break if it seems like it's ruled OK during the course of the season. It doesn't force/make you to correct your form.

Fully expect her to make the pros now. Thanks for a wonderful season, and all the best going forward! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope not ... Otherwise she'll have to make a drastic change that will affect her dominance, I'm afraid ... Like Charsibb said, she is one helluva pitcher.

In Int'l rules, an illegal pitch is if the pitcher hops and then pushes on the landing to gain momentum on the pitch (pitching after this action.) Completely different as Sara slightly hops and drags forward while pitching. She also never pushes off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
