    stanford 4 OSU-0 mid 4th. Just wasn't Lexi night tonight and unfortunately it happened in an elimination game and possibly her last one as a college athlete.

    Geez, Okie St catcher. If you're gonna try to completely block the plate, at least hang onto the ball so the runner doesn't beat your tag anyway.

    That was a clinic on how NOT to tag a runner at the plate. If I was their coach, I would have been too embarrassed to challenge it.

    So stanford gets the loser of UCLA/Oklahoma. They're dangerous with Canady in the circle.

    I never imaged Oklahoma State would not only go out 0-2 but score zero runs and only manage 5 hits in almost 2 games.

    I was shocked by their offensive explosion. If they get that type of run support, they will be very hard to send home.

    Kelly Maxwell is pitching a gem against UCLA so far. 1 hit, 8 K's and no runs through 5 innings. Oklahoma only ahead 1-0, though.

    Oklahoma beat UCLA 1-0. Great pitching from both sides against 2 powerful lineups. UCLA now plays Stanford in an elimination game.

    UCLA in three different innings with runners on base and less than 1 out and they couldn't muster one measly run. Some TERRIBLE at bats and even WORSE swings......they deserved that loss, sorry to say........

    Canady is a GREAT pitcher and Stanford's young lineup has started putting runs up. Can they give Texas a battle?

    Unfortunately, this didn't age well.

    It'll take a miracle against big bad Oklahoma to give UF another crack at Texas.

    (1) Texas and (8) Stanford underway on ESPN.

    If Stanford should win, both teams will then have a loss and will play a 2nd game (listed to start at 9:30pm) to decide who goes to the finals. That game might be on ESPN2, so stay tuned....

    During softball today I thought they said that both "if necessary" games would be tomorrow, to be fair to both teams.
