Four of the regular starters are batting over .400 and eight of the regular starting nine are at .333 or better.

Chaffin's ERA is 2.28, Berzon's 2.48

Collectively, the pitching staff has 7 shutouts.

Well deserved. They have been working hard. Are Texas and OK still at the top?

This is a very experienced team and Raeleen Gutierrez has been a pleasant surprise so far.

Maybe they find a way to get to OKC in 2024.

Curious to see if they can keep up this hitting in the SEC. Love how Gutierrez and Redoutey are playing right now.

While I have had my doubts about Beth and her loyalty to the hitting coach, I am definitely happy to see this success. Hopefully they can keep it going and cash in on this year of mostly 5th year seniors.

Softball is 13-0! They get no attention here. However, as soon as we lose one game, our resident experts will be out to claim Beth is the reason we are not the greatest softball program in history.

That has really sucked much excitement out from the program. I couldnt imagine being ranked #3 and with a new hitting coach. I dont think many have much faith at all in the continued hitting success. Dobbins will take over and turn a .400 hitter into a .200 hitter

I am also a Beth doubter but it is nice seeing the girls perform. They seem to be playing inspired softball this season. I hope the success carries into and through SEC play.

It will be more difficult in the SEC there is no question about that, will their averages dip somewhat? Everyone’s does however I believe this is an outstanding lineup that will compete with anyone in the conference

Overrated at this point but happy we are undefeated.

San Diego St and Texas are the only remaining tough out of conference opponents then we start SEC at Kentucky—Torina’s nightmare.

Overrated compared to who? Beat 6/8 Ok State and ranked Northwestern…Kentucky like all SEC series will be a tough battle but again this club is very difficult to pitch to and will be a difficult out. Some ppl will never be happy a AA pitcher and one of the top offenses in the country and you still bitch and moan…lol crazy

Coach Beth deserves a lot of credit here - her seat was arguably getting a little warm because of falling short in the past. This year's team is awesome.

Yet another out of the blue natty would be awfully sweet.

Beth has had a few teams that started hot like this and fell off dramatically, but hopefully that's not the case with this team.

I have not seen Karli Petty in the recent lineups. Is she injured ?
Thanks
