Edwards recruited as a hitter....not pitching



I am almost 100% certain she was recruited at for her pitching, not her bat. She as of now is LSU's pitcher for the 2019 class. Torina always has a pitcher in each class.

Also didn't Edwards move to the Texas Bombers?

Mt. Carmel and St. Amant played this week


Amant won 5-4 in 10

Wickersham worked behind almost the entire day, couldn't find the zone but still found ways to strike a lot of people out.


Tidwell launched a monster homerun to center field

Wickersham walked Tidwell 3 times, struck out 14 hitters.

Mt. Carmels offense has had some problems with runners on base, can't seem to find a way to hit them in. Perkins hasn't played as of late



Btw Tidwell is now batting in the .580's with 14 homeruns on the year. First time I was able to see her this year and she definitely looks as advertised, a lot of power


Mt. Carmel is in a funk it seems

She is a middle infielder, will likely play 2B at LSU. Not a short stop at the next level. She will be used as a utility player

She is athletic to move around, powerful bat. her homeruns are off the charts.

She is a very tall and built player, physically intimidating, not in a bad sense. I hope she kills it at LSU, she's really talented.

All the athleticism in the world, it'll be an adjustment at the next level but it is for essentially every player. Nice to see her have a good senior year.

Only place she needs to improve is her defense, can't complain any about her bat thats for sure.

357, isn't Georgia Clark a power hitter also? Wonder how she is doing? Would be great to have at least 5 threats to hit it out at any time.

Yessir, 18handicap provided some updates on her a few times lately.

Monster hitter, will do really well for LSU.

Texas Bombers has a few studs on their way to LSU

Apparently Tidwell now holds the school record and now has a career best 16 homeruns on the year and will likely shatter it over the next month of play as they head into the play offs.

She's been walked over 30 times this year as well.

hope she can do that for us next year

LSU needs more powerful bats in the lineup

Tidwell and Clark could provide some of that next season hopefully

I am with you. Just hope how she does it now is the way it needs to be done at LSU. And if she can don't try to work her into something she can't. Too much coaching sometimes.

Clark is AMAZING. Tidwell has played against her for years. Great friend of Tidwell and so much POWER. She is such a positive kid, inspiration, and leader. Taylor is so excited to have the opportunity to make her mark as a TIGER. But for now, Geaux STA Gators (#TakeState) and Geaux Tigers.
