A couple of things...
If we don't run-rule both of these games, I'm going to be seriously disappointed. Kasha Kolb is the Shockers "ace" and she's rocking a 2.75 ERA (team-best); allowing 22 earned runs in 56 innings of work. The #2 pitcher will most likely be Katie Armagost who sports a 2.79 ERA in 37.2 innings. Kasha has struck out 53, while the rest of the team has managed 36 collectively.
Their mascot is the "Shocker". I have no idea why their mascot is this...I thought the shocker was something COMPLETELY different: 
I'm adding baseball stuff to the softball threads. I need a catchy name. Post some ideas below. Winner will be put on the *new* baseball/softball post on Thursday. I expect great things from RMN...don't let me down now.

Ashley fleming 2-run walkoff HR
Tigers win 8-0 in 6
Numbers:
Nottelmann:
4 IP, 2H, 0ER, 14BF, 6K, 1 BB
Nottelmann is easily a #1 picher on just about any other team in the country….
whoooa there big fella...
am gonna reign you in just a tad on that statement.
Yes….Nottelmann had a pretty dominant outing today. And yes, she certainly saved our hide last year while Thomas was out with her injury. And while I am as high on this team as any (both now and their future), I can’t really agree with that.
Nottelmann came into today’s game with an ERA over 2.40 and 16 walks to 32 innings (with 27 K’s). She does a great job of limiting the big hits (only 4 XBH’s on the season, all HR’s strangely enough), but she is going to keep working on her consistency, as well as her out pitch. Got a lot of people looking today, which is good. And I would go as far as to say she has a solid shot to be a #1 on almost all teams outside the top 25, but there are still some darn good pitchers out there as well. Right now, her stats/ratios dont match her up against the top 10 in the conference.
Don’t worry…she is going to be a HUGE piece of what we do and I will certainly take her at this point as a #2 (which I think she will settle into as the season wears on over Hainey).

2nd batter grounds out to 1st…2 out
3rd batter lines out to 2nd
1-2-3 for Thomas…
Chelsea sets them down 1-2-3 in the 1st
threw just 12 pitches
Mizzou 1st:
Here’s the lineup:
1. Rhea Taylor
2. Nichole Hudson
3. Jenna Marston
4. Ashley Fleming
5. Lindsey Muller
6. Kathryn Poet
7. Shana White
8. Catherine Lee
9. Gina Schneider
Kasha Kolb, who finished out the 1st game, gets the start in the 2nd game
Taylor hits a line drive to LF…1 out
Hudson hits a fly into the gap in right-center for a stand up double.
Marston strikes out swining….2 out
Fleming, who just hit the GW HR follows that up with ANOTHER 2 RUN Homer!!!!!
2-0 Tigers!
Ashley Fleming hits ANOTHER 2-run HR
2-0 Tigers in the 1st
WSU 2nd:
4-5-6 for the Shockers
1st batter strikes out looking.
2nd batter hits a grounder past Lindsey Muller (scored E3).

The batters just can’t catch up to Chelsea’s heat…if she can start working the corners like Nottelmann did, this could be a quick game…
If they can't catch up with the heat, no need to work the corners :-)

I would not mind seeing us get a couple of runs here
only because I would still like to see Muller get a little time.
The way I see it, we need two pitchers next year. One of them can be Muller…and I think at least another one will come via recruiting. But I think four arms is the way to go and I would like to see her get some time now, since I think innings will be a little tougher to come by as we get into the conference season.

I'd be somewhat surprised to see Muller pitch today
I could see her getting some action this weekend though with so many games and some not great teams coming in.
I dont think it would be that surprising
Thomas has clearly got the work in she needs to today. Hell…he split the first game. If the Tigers put up a bunch of runs here, I could completely see Muller getting an inning or three.

He almost always splits Nottelmann/Hainey though
And Chelsea is almost fully recovered from some arm numbness. I feel that coach wants to see if she can give us some innings without feeling any numbness or pain in that arm afterwards.
OK...but again..contingent on the idea we had scored some runs
ALMOST recovered is not recovered. And she has thrown quite a few pitches already today in almost 5 innings. IF Mizzou had scored a bunch of runs to push out this lead, I would have expected to see Muller come in.

Coach says she's 95% and could be 100% this weekend
And he wants to make sure the new training/therapy they are giving her is able to withstand a full workload. Plus, coach has made it clear that Muller isn’t really in the plans in terms of pitchers this season.
Then I guess I find it strange she has pitched at all

Looks like maybe we have lost LHJK, so let's get caught up
Mizzou went scoreless in the 4th against a new hurler for WSU after getting a couple of runners on with 2 down when Lee lined out.
Thomas took the mound to start the 5th and has another K (8) and another BB (3). She also just gave up her first hit of the day (a double), so WSU has second and third with 1 down in the 5th with the Tigers up 2-0.
