    UCLA ahead of Alabama 1-0 after 4. Impressed with both pitchers. They are pounding the strike zone. UCLA's freshman pitcher Terry is excellent. 21-1 on the year, 2.31 ERA.

    Game tied 1-1 going to the bottom of the 5th. For some reason UCLA's coach changed pitcher after a leadoff single off the pitcher's glove inj the top of the 5th. The new pitcher gave up a sac bunt, then a bloop single over SS, then a 4 pitch walk to load the bases. She had a 3-0 count on the next batter, but came back and got an infield pop out, followed by a line RBI single to right. The runner from 2nd tried to score, also, but was thrown out at the plate.

    Obstruction is what bama should have challenged because runner was obviously out. Obstruction is the new illegal pitch. I wonder how much money the softball powers that be are paid to be entirely incompetent.

    I’ll give a gold star to anyone who can list every umpire in this World Series because I want to know. My gold stars unfortunately carry no real world value.

    That was a horrible decision to try and get a 2nd run right there. The UCLA pitcher was struggling, make her prove she could control her pitches with the bases loaded in a tie game.

    Murphy plan was to make Skylar a catcher so maybe he’s not the smartest.

    Jordan Woolery hit a 2 out 3-run HR off Kayla Beaver in the bottom of the 6th as UCLA beat Alabama 4-1.

    I missed the play. What were two Oklahoma runners doing on third base?

    Their pitchers don't look impressive. But their hitting look first class.

    Jaylaa Wright from Duke did not handle her moment well at all.... visibly struggling. We can hit OU pitching easily I think.

    I keep hearing this announcer proclaim that Atwwod is the best batter in the country. She doesn't lead in average or on base % , or HRs or doubles. She leads in rbi which means players in front of her hit well too. She is no doubt really good, top 5 probably but do you think she is the best this season?

    Texas Freshman Teagan Kavan threw a 1 hitter, 4 BB, 8 K, in beating Stanford 4-0. I hope Rothrock is up to the challenge like Kavan was. Very impressed with her, mixing her pitches and with a devastating chnage-up.
