Nobody truly expected to see Montana Fouts get the start on Sunday. Very few expected Lauren Esman to start either. But there she was. It didn’t help that a lifeless offense was there as well.
MTSU 4, ALABAMA 1
With Alex Salter getting shelled on Saturday and Jaala Torrence being overworked, Patrick Murphy’s Gut® went with his Michigan infielder-turned pitcher project Esman to start the game. The bad news is she gave up one run in the first inning. The good news is she ONLY gave up one run in the first inning. The Gut® must have felt real good about that because he left her in the game for a good long while.
