There was a special moment in yesterday's Super Regional softball game. In the seventh inning Coach Torina sent senior Dylan Supak up to pinch hit an opportunity for one last at bat in her final home game. Just like the magic that always seemed to flow from Skip Bertman's decisions, this one also had a magical result as Supak singled and drove in a run.

You better believe this moment was not lost on the team and will further strengthen the bond the team and coach and her staff have formed. In all of the pressure of the moment as they sought to close out the win coach Torina remembered to reward a senior who has put team first and remained ready when called upon instead of pouting that someone else has taken her position. Welll played by all.

Thanks for bringing this up! It's so sweet knowing how the LSU Softball coaches and players embrace the team concept.

Not that I disagree with you, or truly think what I'm about to say is in anyway a fact. It was an awesome moment and I cheered at my tv for it and throughout the game. Just playing devil's advocate, but....

By that same token, do you think the team also noticed that she didn't give the other remaining senior, Kailey McCasland, any playing time in her last game at home? I mean, if one is a positive, then the other has to be a negative...right? Granted Supak did have a larger role on the team in the past than McCasland had.

Like I said, just playing devil's advocate. I'm sure everyone in that dugout, including the coaching staff, are pulled together and on the same page.

I was glad she got the opportunity. I really love when coaches give "program players" an at bat at the end of the game. Shows respect for what the player has done for the program. Seems like more often than not, they come through with a basehit or a positive play.
