The ladies open up the series with a 6-2 win over the Lady Vols.
They are now 36-4 (9-1) on the year.
Okay, I'm going to be the first to admit that up until now, I couldn't give two frippity fracks about women's softball or most women's sports in general. But, I've been paying more attention to AU softball this year because:
1. Kasey Cooper is kicking ass and I know her and her family. The wife taught her in elementary school.
2. AU is one of the best teams in the nation. See Pell City's stats above. 36-4 is off the chizzain in any league, in any sport, any time. I take note and pull for the Tigers
3. I got nuthin...
Down here, we hear about Kasey Cooper all the time. I thought it was like, her, and everyone else. Then I pulled up the team stats. And yeah, Cooper is kicking it All Star style. But....check out some of her team mates:
Kasey Cooper
.383 13 HR 43 RBI
Jada Rhodes
.343 15 HR 46 RBI
Haley Fagan
.403 10 HR 46 RBI
Emily Carosone
.477 15 HR 57 RBI
I watched the whole AU/UT game tonight. Trust me, that was a first. Props to the Lady Tigers.
