Stop me if you’ve heard this before. Tiger pitching gives up a multi-run inning that puts the game out of reach as the offense can’t make anything out of its limited chances.
It’s the same story, just a different day. On Wednesday against the Salukis in a 5-3 loss, it was Marissa McCann who allowed a three-run home run. On Friday in Starkville against #16 Mississippi State in a 7-0 loss, it was Cierra Harrison who allowed two-run shot in the bottom of the second.
Once Harrison came out in the sixth after allowing five runs (four earned) to go with five hits, a walk and a strikeout, it was Nathalie Touchet who came in and allowed another three runs as two walks and a muffed fielder’s choice loaded the bases for a sacrifice fly and a two-run double to put the game away.
