Yeah, it's sad. But it was bound to happen sooner or later. Look on the bright side; Johnson, the freshman, held the Ducksd to 4 hits and one run over the next 6 1/2 innings. She's coming into her own. Next year with Johnson pitching well and Bernardand  another hotshot freshman, we should take the first Big Sky tournament. As for Bernard, she pitched well-nigh every game and, as Echo-Haswk says, she put them in the playoffs.  I suspect she'll do well against Mississippi State. Go Viks!
