NCAA Softball Selection -- Does the committee love the B1G?

Well, what the heck do I know? Fresno State brings the tying run to the plate and only trails 5-3, 1 out....

now the tying run is on base and the winning run is at the plate! Holy crap.

Lisa Fernandez out to talk about it with the 2x National Player of the Year, who has given up more than 1 earned run for the first time since the 2019 WCWS.

[trojansc]

Bases loaded for Fresno State! Winning run on base! Unbelievable!

[trojansc]

Wow. Major props to Fresno State. This has been a very exciting tournament. Much better than 2019 was, for sure. Quite a few of these top seeds are very very fortunate to be in the Regional Finals as 2-0.

[mikegarrison]

0-0 after five innings between Michigan and Washington.

Huskies need to start hitting like they usually do. They can't ride their pitching forever against the better teams.

Yup. Michigan just got a solo HR.

Back-to-back. 2-0

[bbg95]

Back-to-back bombs for Michigan to put them up 2-0. I'm amused that Michigan has a home run snake that they're wearing like a necklace. This is now the second piece of apparel associated with home runs that I've seen this tournament, along with BYU's home run chain.

The PAC-12 is having a pretty rough tournament so far. Arizona nearly blew an 8-run lead but recovered, and UCLA was 2 outs away from heading to the loser's Bracket.

Oregon's got to win two in late hours tonight, and then win at Texas twice again tomorrow. The fortunate part if Washington doesn't pull it out is that Seattle and Portland State are two of the worst teams in the entire tournament.

Tennessee is in trouble down 5-2 to Liberty in the bottom of the sixth.

Edit: Just as I say that, Tennessee hits an RBI triple that was just fair down the right field line to cut the score to 5-3 with no outs.

BYU was down to its last out about to get run-ruled - and your favorite player Zavodnik doubles, followed by a 3-run homerun and BYU keeps its hope alive. Slim hope, but still alive.

Lol, yeah, the last time I looked at the score, they were down 8-0 or something, so I stopped paying attention.

I turned it on in time to see the replay of the homer. Huntyr Ava has the best reactions after she hits a bomb or even just a big hit.

Liberty gets an insurance run with a solo shot to left field. Now up 6-4 going to the bottom of the seventh.

[mikegarrison]

Baseball/softball is a strange game. But like every other game, you have to score to win, no matter how good you are at preventing opponent scoring.

Huskies going into the bottom of the 7th down 2-1.

Somebody let #13 Duke-Western Kentucky know.

Going to Bottom of the 11th, tied 0-0 in an elimination game. Winner has to beat host Georgia (2x) tomorrow.

OMG, the studio announcer just said the Campbell Camels are "trying to get over the hump".
