Live and on now..  Top of 2

Bottom of the 6th, USA up 4-0, and just as I tuned in, Nevins on the bench and Jessica Moore comes in.

 

They had some great things to say about Sara though!!

And juts like that the wheels fall off.

 

Moore puts the first two runners on with a bunt and a line drive, and third drops a very makeable foul fly

[charsibb]

Walks the next batter, then hits one to push home Canada's first run.

 

BIG dropoff from Nevins to Moore, and she's gone. Henderson's coming in for her.

 

I'm done here - heading back outside to play

Came in for the last inning, to watch Nevin close out for the win...and title.  Great to have USF coach & pitch for the big win.

 

Nevins can be maddening with her high pitch count and walks...but she's so clutch & overwhelming.

 

She'll be missed...but it was great to get one last look!

[charsibb]

Whatchu mean, LAST?

 

Sara's going to be pitching for a while to come.

[DELdaBull]

Sara is a pitching BOSS

Stereotypical views of “appropriate†sports for women have limited participation opportunities for girls and women throughout history. Women were not permitted to run distances greater than 400 meters in the Olympic Games until the 1950s and were not permitted to run the Olympic marathon until 1984 because of stereotypical perceptions of women’s abilities to run distances. Expectations of “feminine†behavior precluded many women from lifting weights, playing football or competing as wrestlers.

Yet, there are more than 6,000 women competing in high school football and wrestling today, and 1,300-plus women play high school baseball. Pole vaulting and weight lifting have become popular women’s sports, women’s ice hockey has been an Olympic sport since 1998, and there are now women’s professional football leagues and a women’s national baseball team.

When playing, I actually prefer softball (slowpitch) to baseball. It's more fun.
