The starting pitcher for Idaho State on Wednesday

#1 · April 28, 2023, 6:56 am

Was a former Boise State Bronco for two years. That being Jordan Schuring who was a True Freshman at Boise State for the 2020 season and a RS Freshman for Boise State during the 2021 season. She entered the transfer portal after the 2021 season and transferred to Cal Baptist.

She did not pitch at all for Boise State during the 2020 season but did pitch 9 innings in 5 games of relief work for Boise State in the 2021 season and she had a 3.89 E.R.A. that season.

At Cal Baptist, during the 2022 season, she appeared in 23 games, with 11 starts, and had a 6-2 W/L record with 2 saves in 82 innings with an E.R.A. of 2.54 and a team best 1.25 WHIP. Yet she entered the TP a second time and former Boise State pitcher Kelsey Broadus contacted her (as a new coach at Idaho State) and signed her to play this season for the Bengals.

This season, at Idaho State, as a RS Junior, Schuring has pitched 103.1 innings with a 7-10 W/L record and an E.R.A. of 2.91 and a WHIP of 1.31 with 8 complete games. Which is why I'm wondering why Idaho State had her pitch only 1 inning in the game vs. Boise State on Wednesday.

I was at the game and it seemed that she pitched two innings. Regardless, I could speculate that Broadus wanted to spread things out. Schuring was likely on a pitch count for this game. It also gave younger pitchers experience in trying to stop a top performing team. Peters and Berger are freshmen. They probably will never pitch against the likes of BSU hitters again. ISU has a very young team this year and it seems like the coaches are letting those young players get experience it tough games.

I watched the first two innings of that game on the MWC streaming channel (via the archive games) this morning. Schuring pitched only the first inning - and the box score confirms that. She gave up 2 hits, 1 run, 1 earned run and 1 walk. She faced 5 batters.

She was replaced after just that one inning by Anna Berger in the bottom of the 2nd. Berger only got one out and gave up 5 earned runs on only 3 hits and 2 walks. Berger was then replaced by Rylee Peters who got the last two outs in the 2nd inning but gave up 3 more earned runs. Then Emma McMurray pitched the last two innings for Idaho State and she gave up 2 more earned runs.

Of the four Idaho State pitchers who pitched in that game Schuring did the best of all of them. Which is why I was puzzled why the Idaho State coaching staff pulled her from that game after giving up only 1 earned run in that first (and only) inning that she pitched.
