23 Mar 2017 1:58PM (Tournament); 5 Readers

Stephen Forster first to 4b against Alan Walsh. Forster is running 6 with no peels. Looks like hes setting to peel 4b going to 1b.

23 Mar 2017 3:17PM (Tournament); 19 Readers

Correction. Pearce went for and made 6. Now has 13 yarder on partner... no cigar.

23 Mar 2017 3:18PM (Tournament); 19 Readers

23 Mar 2017 3:50PM (Tournament); 13 Readers

I'm stepping aside for a while.

23 Mar 2017 3:51PM (Tournament); 13 Readers

Alix played a 3b break. She overran 3b to 4b pioneer. Didn't get rush on 3b pioneer so seperated. Gail hit short lift with peg ball. Went out next to Alix's 4b ball. Alix has good oppurtunity to finish. Likely after the bell.

23 Mar 2017 4:21PM (Tournament); 8 Readers

Good rush to 4b. Everything in front of her.

23 Mar 2017 4:22PM (Tournament); 8 Readers
