FCS.com: You’re a tall pitcher who throws heat… what’s the highest you’ve been measured at and what other pitches do you throw?
MF: I’m 6-foot-1 and the fastest I have been clocked is 67 mph. I throw fastball, drop, curve and change.
See this whole situation with her off-speed or lack thereof is so weird. This is from an interview she did while still in high school. Did she just forget how to throw them? Was she lying? Makes little sense.

There is NO compensation for being able to make a batter have to worry about adjusting their timing.....even if you can just put the thought in their heads.
If a pitcher goes off-speed just once or twice an inning, every batter knows it's there, especially when they're dealing with a 2-strike count.
And the thing that I don't understand is that it's NOT hard to throw. It's simply in the grip!

OUr top 2 pitchers have seen their ERA go over 2 in the past 4-5 weeks. 2 should win you a lot of ball games most nights

Fouts looking like her old self tonight pitching really well, and now our bats are cold against a Mississippi State pitcher that's not very impressive. Lol

So happy (relieved?) to get that W. Need to win the rest of the series (and ideally the rest of the regular season SEC games). Bloodworth with a home run. Savannah with some heads up base running. Montana dealing.

Alabama Softball Takes Game One over Mississippi State with Walk-Off Wild Pitch
Alabama and Mississippi State opened their weekend softball series with a pitcher's duel Thursday night at Rhoads Stadium, as a walk-off wild pitch gave the Crimson Tide a 2-1 win over the Bulldogs.
Alabama (34-6, 11-5 SEC) and Mississippi State (26-15, 7-6 SEC) combined for just seven hits, five of which came in the sixth and seventh innings. Megan Bloodworth tied up the game in the bottom of the sixth on a solo home run, her sixth long ball of the year and second in conference play. Kat Grill also had a hit, giving her at least one in five of her last six games, while Ashley Prange extended her reached-base streak to 16 games and Bailey Dowling to 13 games. Montana Fouts (17-3) was lights-out in the circle, striking out 11 while holding the Bulldogs to just one run on three hits.
Each team tallied just one hit through 5.0 scoreless innings until Mississippi State threatened in the top of the sixth, loading the bases with one out. A fly ball to right allowed the runner at third to tag up on the sac fly RBI and put the Bulldogs on the board before a strikeout ended the half-inning, limiting the damage to just one run. Bloodworth wasted no time tying it up in the bottom half, leading off the frame with a solo home run to make it a 1-1 game. After a pitching change with two out, Prange drew a walk and moved into scoring position on a wild pitch, but a strikeout ended the inning with the score still tied.
Fouts retired the side in order in the top of the seventh to set up the heart of the Tide's order for the potential walk-off. Dowling led off the inning with a single through the right side and Savannah Woodard entered to pinch run. Kaylee Tow then scorched a one-hopper through the right side to push Woodard to third and a wild pitch in the next at-bat allowed Woodard to slide into home as the game-winning run.
From Head Coach Patrick Murphy
"It was a nail-biter. We know they are a really good team. They already have more wins in conference play then they did last year, and it's only been 13 games. They're doing a great job as a team and a coaching staff, so we knew it was going to be a tough game. Their starting pitcher was very good and thankfully Montana basically matched her. We had the key hits in the bottom of the seventh. Bailey Dowling had a great at-bat, poking a single through the right side. Kaylee Tow came up and hit another one hard to the right side, but the key to that was Savannah Woodard's baserunning. She's kind of an unsung hero on this team because she is the best baserunner that we have, and she never hesitated going around second base. After that, we had first and third with no outs, and we walked it off with a wild pitch. It was just a really good game to start the series."
