In 35 games since becoming leadoff, 19 RBIs that are not herself
Game 1 - Hit 2nd behind Lynch - 3 BBs, 2 runs scored, 0 rbi
Game 2 - Hit 2nd behind Blackwell - 1 hit, 1 HR, 1BB, 3 RBI, 1 BB
Game 3 - Hit 2nd behind Blackwell - 3 hits, 1 RBI
Game 4 - Hit 2nd behind Lynch - 1 hit, 1 HR, 1 BB, 3 RBI, 1
Game 5 - Hit 3rd behind Blackwell and Lynch - 2 hits, 0 RBI...scored 2 runs I think due to Peck HR and Legette hit
Game 6 - Hit 2nd behind Lynch - 2 hits, 1 HR, 2 BBs, 1 RBI
Game 7 - Hit 4th behind Blackwell, Lynch, Chatfield - 0 hits, 2 BBs
Game 8 - Hit 2nd behind Lynch - 1 hit, 1 BB
Game 9 (LSU) - Hit 2nd behind Lynch - 0 hits, 0 walks
Game 10 (LSU) - Hit 5th - 0 hits, 3 SOs
Game 11 - Hit 4th behind Jones, Lynch, Chatfield - 2 hits, 1 BB, 2 RBI
Game 12 (Alabama) - Hit 4th - 2 hits, 1 BB, 1 RBI
Game 13 - Hit 4th - 1 hit, 1 RBI
Game 14 - Hit 5th - 2 hits, 2 RBI
Game 15 (Alabama) - HIt 4th - 0 hits
Game 16 - Liberty - lead off - 1 hit, 1 BB, 1 HR, 1 RBI
Game 17 - lead off....
In the 15 games prior to leading off against Liberty, McMillan had the following. My numbers could be off but...
17 hits
12 BBs
3 HRs (I believe)
14 RBI - 3 of those were her scoring herself
Right now her season totals are the following, with the numbers since becoming leadoff:
29 HRs - so 3 before becoming leading off / 26 HRs since becoming leadoff
59 RBI - 45 RBI after becoming lead off
37 BBs - 25 since becoming lead off
Since she has 26 HRs and 45 RBI since becoming....
- 26 of those 45 RBI are her hitting herself in
- 19 RBIs from hitting teammates in
VT has played 50 games. Based on those above numbers, in 35 games, Cori has hit 26 HRs and only brought 19 batters besides herself in those 35 games. This seems crazy. I invite people to check the numbers in case i am off

This is a great reason she’s batting lead off instead of the 3/4 hole…..
