Extra innings !!!!!

Alexander with her ninth strikeout as the game goes into extras. She's only made the one big mistake on the three-run blast.

9 strikeouts is tied for season high for Oklahoma. Earlier that came against Arizona State.

This is also practically a home game for OU. Impressive.

Holy sh*t Gordon was due.

4-3 James Madison in the Top 8th.

JUBAS GO YARD TOO PLEASE!

[trojansc]

Two outs away. I'm shaking on every pitch.

JMU almost got the NPOY to swing at the first pitch (she actually might have crossed the plane) but after a 2-0 count, seems like JMU was content with just walking her.

Tying run on 1st, winning run at the plate for Oklahoma.

James Madison keeps their dream season going by taking down top-seeded Oklahoma 4-3.

Oklahoma will now be in an elimination game with a team they already lost to. They will have to win 4x in a row, twice on Saturday, twice on Sunday. Their pitching is questionable, they don't have an ace. But that offense can certainly win 4x in a row.

Then you have UCLA, who will live and die by Garcia. Some really really exciting storylines here.

I'm so hoping to see Georgia vs. James Madison in Winner's Bracket Friday. UNBELIEVABLE.

Awww, Odicci Alexander is a tough one. Emotional, but more fire and passion than tears.

In the postgame interview, she wasn't overly emotional until the announcer brought up her grandparents at home and was asked what she'd like to say to him. 'That one was for you pops' as she teared up.

This is awesome.

Yeah, we see this a lot in all sports. No matter how dangerous an offense is, if a defense (or pitcher) is good enough, the offense can be kept in check.

Oklahoma State leads Georgia 3-1 heading to the seventh inning.

[bbg95]

Georgia hit an RBI double to cut the deficit to 3-2 and now has second and third with one out.

[bbg95]

Oklahoma State gets out of it with a popup and a groundout to win 3-2.

Alabama dispatched Arizona 5-1 behind a dominant pitching performance by Montana Fouts, who struck out 16 and allowed just two hits.

Snoozer. I think Arizona is 2 and cue.

I think FSU/UCLA will be a good one.
