Hokies' Angela Tincher v. Team USA

What's on your mind?

by jofus » Thu Mar 27, 2008 5:45 am

Story from Hokiesports.com

Tincher no-hit team USA (one walk from a perfect game) and the Hokies scored one on Finch to give the Hokies the 1-0 win :)

BTW, the game will be on ESPN2 may 6th at 7 pm (I think that's the time...I have no clue why they show it over a month later)

Check out this stat, from the USA softball site...

"Suffering its first pre-Olympic tour lost since May 3, 1996 when the U.S. lost to California Select in Los Angeles, Calif., the loss breaks a 185-game pre-Olympic tour win streak. During that time, Team USA has outscored opponents 1,475-24. "



1,475-24 :shock:

Don't know why they'd show it at all. Talk about scaring off the casual fan. Yikes.

It was already scheduled to show on May 6th a while back, they didn't decide after the game to show it.

As a parent of a girl playing (and trying to become a pitcher), I'm definitely gonna watch it, and make my DD watch it too :)

I'm not sure they are televising the first game from yesterday, but if they are, you may like it better....USA beat DePaul 23-0.

LOL. Well at least one of the teams hit the ball in that one.

VT had 6 hits in the game, which isn't bad against Finch and Osterman :)

Especially when you consider that Va Tech is a below average hitting college team.
(Tincher routinely suffers from lack of run support).

Guess Team USA should have thrown Fernandez and her change up. :D
