Spring is HERE!

Great start. Think the JC transfer Strunk struck the game-tying homer in the seventh.

Miller gets the game winner in the 8th.

And per twitter,Bryanna Wade throws out two runners in the first inning to keep it scoreless, then gets a homer in the 8th.

So proud of Ashley Kirk...gamer.

Congrats to Coach Kee on your first NT win....lots to like!

Beat #23 Georgia this afternoon!

Just got a few tidbits via twitter, but Mean Green softball loses again today to #23 Georgia, 7-4. NT gets ahead 3-0 but couldn't hold on.

Team is making way too many errors and so far looks like pitching may be a big issue. Kirk is a good pitcher, but even in softball; she can't pitch every inning.

I do think their new coach is a substantial upgrade, so I have hope for this season.

[untcampbell]

Won today vs Wintrop...Kirk strikes out 13.

We lost to this team yesterday.

Finish the weekend 2-3.

I won't be able to see the home opener (thank God Valentines Day isn't during football season) but the softball chicks (their preferred generic descriptor...I asked) play Friday and Saturday.

Looks like they also have a required hair style.

North Texas 8, Nicholls St 4

and

North Texas 9, Southern 0

to start the tournament 2-0 and move to 4-3 on the season

vs. Northern Iowa today at 12:30, Lovelace Stadium - Northern Iowa is 5-1 and has wins over Georgia, Texas, and North Carolina

Wow, AK gives up 5 in the first, then keeps it close until NT offense pulls it out.

Three run walk off by Taylor Schoblocher!

Dani Hoff's has found a groove at the plate, 3-3 for the second game this weekend, I believe.

Ashley had a tough game one, then started rough in this one and pitched out of a bases-loaded jam in the 6th.

Coach stuck with her, and was rewarded. Gutsy AK!

Well done, 5-3 softball chicks.

Next up is a tough Texas State squad Thursday at 5 pm. Play ACU afterwards.

I was confused but they are still playing in the tournament. Up 6-1 vs Southern in the 3rd.

Ladies plaYing for the Championship today @ 11:30 vs UNI. I'm assuming UNI would have to win twice since we've already beat them ?

[NT03]

Made it out here to the game, a little colder outside than I expected.. UNI 1 UNT 0 after 1st

[NT03]

Miller's 3 run blast puts the mean green up 3-2
