Runners on 1st and 2nd for FSU with only 1 out. Coach Allister pulling Alyssa Houston and putting Zoe Prystajko back in. Nervous time...
FSU is at #2 in the batting order, so Zoe will have to beat their best.
Another 4-pitch walk. Bases loaded.
HBP ruled on a video overturn. Now 5-3 Stanford, bases loaded, still one out. Zoe being pulled and now it's up to freshman Anna Brewer. Facing FSU's cleanup hitter.
Bases clearing double on a 3-2 pitch. FSU leading 6-5.

If there's one thing people have learned in Berkeley, it's that you can't put "Cal football" and "Rose Bowl" in the same sentence. The words just don't fit. You'd be better off linking "covered wagons" with "Mars travel." (Bruce Jenkins, Cal '70, SF Chronicle, Nov. 11, 2017)
