It was probably a good call by Beth to tell her to hold up, a slightly better throw and she is out. But sometimes it's just worth forcing the throw to home for that reason.

not with only 1 out


Torina did 100% the right thing telling her to stop

The player did the right thing since she was able to score But damn, she is lucky she did

Those who follow softball pretty closely know that Torina is SUPER aggressive with her base-running....she almost always forces the issue. Most of the time it works, sometimes it doesn't. That is why I was shocked that the thought of holding Andrews at 3rd even crossed her mind, even though it was probably the "proper" strategic move with one out in the inning.

The way LSU's mentality typically is on the bases, I am sure Andrews never had a second thought about trying to score from the moment that ball landed. And she was hauling arse so fast that if she had thrown on the brakes and tried to stop at 3rd, she probably would have ended up in the Florida dugout
