Fiser named first team all-american

Awesome
They keep turning out some real stars
Good program
Starting to feed itself yearly. Finding great kids.


It sounds like a lot of the success is attributed to pitching coach Piper Ritter. She was one of the most decorated pitchers in program history and has recruited and molded one pitching star after another.




Mr. Ed -> RE: Gopher Softball (5/30/2019 9:04:00 AM)

Olivia and I looked at the roster
And several other schools

Some of the better pitchers
Including Fiser

Are not that big

5’6” is all

I think the pitching dynamic changed drastically when they moved the pitching rubber back 5 feet. When they did that, you couldn't just have a Jenny Finch at 6'1" overpowering everybody.




TJSweens -> RE: Gopher Softball (5/30/2019 9:28:45 AM)

Reason to hope today ... One of UCLA's few losses this year was to Michigan who just edged us out for the Big Ten tournament championship.

I counted 6. IMO there should be only one, but I get naming a first team staff rather than just a first team pitcher.




kgdabom -> RE: Gopher Softball (5/30/2019 1:33:47 PM)

First game went extra innings. Our game being delayed I believe.
As I type this Arizona goes up 3-1. I live in AZ guess I should cheer for them until they play the Gophers.

Don't be sorry about that. Flagstaff is one of the most beautiful Towns/Cities in the nation.

Down 1-0
Bottom of 2

Not looking good at all. UCLA has 3 hits already and it's still the second inning.

2-zip




SoMnFan -> RE: Gopher Softball (5/30/2019 3:13:21 PM)

Well, ,we didn't get NO-NO-ED




SoMnFan -> RE: Gopher Softball (5/30/2019 3:24:50 PM)

3-0 bottom of 3




TJSweens -> RE: Gopher Softball (5/30/2019 3:27:25 PM)

They're just setting it up for the dramatic come back.




SoMnFan -> RE: Gopher Softball (5/31/2019 7:32:32 AM)

Ouch
Stepped up to face the Varsity squad
Didn't end well.




TJSweens -> RE: Gopher Softball (5/31/2019 8:19:30 AM)

They're just setting it up for a dramatic series come back. It makes for a better story to come back and win it all from the losers' bracket. This will make a hell of a TV movie when all is said and done. [;)]

... and leave Mackey and Judd in the dust.

When do we play?

Spring, 2020




TJSweens -> RE: Gopher Softball (6/3/2019 8:44:01 AM)

Here's what was obvious. Amber Fiser just didn't have her usual command in the WS. The Washington game, she couldn't find the strike zone with anything but her fastball. When you get to that level, you're toast if your pitching is off because your hitters are also going to be facing All American caliber pitching. This isn't a knock on Fiser. She is the biggest reason the Gophers got to the series and I'm really glad she'll be back for 2020. It was just the worst possible time to be off.

I just wish they could have gotten a win or two for Maddie Houlihan. She was the heart and soul of Gopher softball for 4 years. It would have been nice to give to give her a better send off.




SoMnFan -> RE: Gopher Softball (6/3/2019 9:41:30 AM)

That's what it felt like to me as well
They weren't embarrassed, they simply needed to play better and didn't.
Great season that they should be able to build on.
