Noon today Florida -210 vs Tx A+M (Currently-230)
Got it last nite... 210 to win 100
I am thinking shut-out, Florida has NO offense....yet they are favorite for the tourney, total is 3', I don't play totals.
She is So good, the Alabama team kept bunting against her to get on base...they beat Florida 3-0 on unearned runs.
Throwing errors cost Florida. Barnhill had 9 strike-outs in the first 4 innings.
Florida's ace Barnhill is going today with a .034 ERA..
"She's struck out virtually thousands in her life to get to this point. This season alone, she's rung up 333 versus just 34 walks on her way to a 24-3 record, plus NCAA-leading marks in ERA (0.36), hits per seven innings (2.74) and strikeouts per seven innings (13.4) while recording 12 shutouts and holding opposing hitters to a .117 average.
Those statistics were amassed in the mighty Southeastern Conference, which put all 13 of its softball programs in the 64-team NCAA field, with two others (LSU and A&M joining UF) reaching the World Series, as well. None of the teams in OKC, however, faced Barnhill during her dominant sophomore season.
Florida junior second baseman Nicole DeWitt has spent the past four months standing behind Barnhill and watching the ball dance by bedazzled batters.
"It's insane. It's absolutely crazy," DeWitt said. "She has this one pitch ? and no one knows how she throws it ? that literally starts to rise, then comes at you, then goes back over the plate. We have no idea what it is, but it makes people look so dumb."
