I'm so sorry that I haven't been able to post as regularly as I want to.
My two cents worth at this part of the season is that we still have a young team that started out very well and has fallen upon some hard times and that could be expected.
Maybe the slump was caused by a quesion of stamina, maybe not. We cannot afford to leave as many runners on base as we have been doing and expect to win consistently.
What I expect on is that the ladies will come together as a team and stay on the winning side of the ball.
After all we ARE the LADY BUCKEYES!

This freefall is absolutely depressing

4-11 in the Big 10 is the most surprising stat.
