@MizzouSoftball Ridiculous they even made a HR call on the field. Let them play and let Alabama challenge the call. Terrible officiating.

Mizzou won a no-doubter and ALL women athletes took a step forward...even if they don't realize it yet. I YELLED for my daughters to come see it as she kicked it.

A moment captured in time. I can’t help but feel we just ALL got better. #OwnIt

Garlic mashed potatoes and smoked turkey are 100% better day 2. To deny this is simply wrong. Coach Hines for the win.

Unpopular opinion:

Thanksgiving leftovers are 100% better than Thanksgiving dinner!

@CoachKurtHines We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;

@LChamberlain44 RIP, your bathroom.

[St Louis Reapers - 18u McCarl @STLReapers]

Applies to ladies who pitch as well. 💪👍

[Jordan Kraus @_JordanKraus_]

Its no surprise that the guys who show up to the weight room on a consistent basis are able to make much quicker mechanical adjustments.

The body awareness is much higher and getting strong in efficient positions translates really well to the mound.

@SahvannaJay And let the coaches coach. Then take them out for ice cream afterwards to celebrate - no matter the outcome. Listening to your daughter talk about playing sports builds confidence and makes a lifelong impact. 👍❤🥎

“23,259 athletes. We have 12 confirmed COVID cases. None of which were contracted on the sports field. And 16 parents who have tested positive. Of all those organizations, zero have been contacted by the health department for any reason.”

Reapers lose 4-2 to Stix. Great tournament by all the Reaper ladies, but as Rick and Howie mentioned in the post game, so many missed opportunities.

[St Louis Reapers - 18u McCarl @STLReapers]

Reapers trail 3-2. Need to hold Stix and score again.

[St Louis Reapers - 18u McCarl @STLReapers]

Defensive play of the day: Trisa Buffer lays out for a catch in center reminiscent of Jim Edmonds in his Cardinals heyday. Ladies laying it on the line to support Riz!

[St Louis Reapers - 18u McCarl @STLReapers]

Heather Albers stretches a single to two bags on a throwing error, gets to third on a sacrifice from Joe Medley and scores on a wild pitch. Reapers and Stix 03 tied 1-1.

[St Louis Reapers - 18u McCarl @STLReapers]

Reapers take Stix down 1-2-3 with pop-ups to Jaden Treis, Olivia Leaver and McKenzie Schumacher. Good guys due up in the bottom of the first.
