Some brief reactions to the weekend that was at Jane B. Moore Field and Plainsman Park:
Softball
— Kasey Cooper, entering her two-on, two-out at-bat in the sixth inning of Saturday’s second-round game against Cal, with Auburn down 3-2: 0-for-her-last-9. Kasey Cooper, since coming to the plate for that at-bat, the biggest of her team’s season: 6-for-7, 2 RBIs, 1 HR.
My honest appraisal: if that 6-for-7 is an indication of Cooper’s contributions going forward, Auburn will have enough power at the plate — combined with what should be excellent pitching — to make a serious run through their Super Regional and the WCWS.
