    Karlyn Pickins for Tennessee is incredeible. She was SEC pitcher of the year and is just a tall, skinny drink of water. But her fastball is consistently in the mid-70's and her change-up is in te mid-60's. The leverage she gets and the whip from her arm is amazing. And she's only a sophomore. I don't like Murphy and Bama, but I can't pull for Tennessee and their coach either and I would love for Alabama to knock out the Vols tomorrow.
    Lots of nerves will be running around on several campuses tomorrow.

    TAM got a 2-out, 2 -strike 3 run HR to tie Texas and send their game to extras.
    Okie State is about to punch their ticket. Beating Arizona 7-1 in the 4th.

    I guess if Ok State wins and the Gators win, they face OSU in Oklahoma with Kilfoyle pitching.

    Yep and the Texas/TAM winner faces the LSU/Stanford winner in the other first game in our bracket at the WCWS.

    OK. St. won 10-4.

    The SEC could have anywhere from 1 to 5 teams in the WCWS depending on what happens in the 5 Game 3's on Sunday.

    Well, the Gators are the first SEC team to qualify. Bama jumped on UT with a grand slam in the first inning before the tarps were pulled out.

    I'd rather have him and his weak hitting team get in than Tennessee and their jerk coach.

    Agreed, can't stand Bama but the Vols are more of a threat in OKC with their pitching.
    Long way to go tho, Vols haven't even batted yet and Bama starting their #2 as did the Vols.

    Didn't see beginning of Bama game...how did they get the weather report so wrong that only half an inning was completed before delay? Did UT have to pitch in bad weather, rain? Just wondering if the game should have never started.

    Man, Mizzou totally collapsed in the 9th inning after their starter threw a gem for the first 8.

    Not sure I agreed with the decision to pull her after giving up a solo home run.

    Duke just broke open a scoreless pitcher's duel in the top of the 9th and got 4. Looks like they're going to be the designated loser to Oklahoma in their first game at the WCWS. Missouri got great pitching from their star Lauren Krings, who threw over 600 poitches the last 2 weekends, but they have no offense.

    Now Duke makes the same mistake and took out their starter that had thrown 8 scoreless innings.

    3-run homer from Mizzou. Still in it 4-3, 1 out.

    Missouri gave them a scare but Duke wins and makes their first WCWS. Impressive since they’re such a young program.
