And we are back, folks here on the Michigan Insider on the Big 1050 WTKA online at the big 1050.com.

Love this time of year because in the 8 o'clock hour, we get our softball update.

Weekly, we talk with Bonnie Thawophelley.

But this week, filling in for Bonnie.

Amanda Chittister Chitty joins us here on the Big 1050 WTK-WTK-A.

Good morning. How are you?

I'm doing great. How are you guys?

Doing outstanding and glad to catch up with you and reflect on what was a really, really strong week on the road.

Going back down to Houston, so we will reflect upon that and then talk about the upcoming sun devil, I'mitation. And I think you were looking at a little weather forecast down there, right? What is it looking like? Yeah, so they're going to avoid the hottest of the hot. It's going to be really, oh, chitty. You guys are getting great weather. It's going to be like mid-60s, then mid-70s. And by the time you leave, it's going to turn 90 after you guys get back. So you've got perfect weather to play softball in Arizona this time of year. It's a classic weather down at the Sun Devil Classic. But before we can get into that, Chitty, let's just reflect first about the HCU

really strong fashion.

3-1 win over Pitt,

6-1 win over Houston Christian,

the energy and the bats are swinging and um yeah i mean this this team has been a fun team to watch

so i'm excited to honestly get back home so all the Michigan fans can watch them play.

But it's a nice versatility with some power, some speed, line drives, and they're just, their energy.

They're a fun group to watch.

Yeah, so Lauren Putz set the table for you guys against, you know,
