I was plenty nervous earlier in the game, but looks like the Sooners have things pretty well under control, with a 6-1 lead, the bases loaded and no outs in the bottom of the 4th... we're bidding fair to run-rule the Wildcats. And as I typed that, Lyons singled, driving in 2 more, making it 8-1, sti...

Hope is a great girl, outstanding pitcher, but yeah, she struggled last inning. Like I said, I hate to see her get to a 3 ball count, she tends to give up a walk.

This 3rd inning isn't going to my liking... Among other things, Hope's pitch count is getting up there, now = still with 2 out and now with the second walk, sitting on 59, not good.

I don't like it when Hope goes to a 3-2 count, bad things (walk, hit, HR) seem to happen more often than not. Solo HR in this case.

Would be interesting to see what the stats are on full counts with Hope.

I can see why Jayda tossed her bat on the 3-1 pitch. Ball was inside, ump missed the call. She then struck out. A gift to NW from the ump.
One out, Alo up. And draws a walk on a 3-2 count.

Sometimes Hope loses focus. Walked the NWestern second batter on four straight pitches - then came back and got the second out on an easy popup... and Lyons with the infield pop up for the 3rd out.

Sooners coming to bat.

Call on your kids or grandkids for help! That's what I do when I get stumped on something...

...And BTW, I agree about the guy who is currently cast as Reacher on Prime. He fills the bill nicely of the original Reacher character, which Tom Cruise, all 5 foot 7 of him, could not!

I will answer my own question, for other's benefit who may have also been wondering: YES, the second round game in each bracket's loser will bounce to the second elimination game in the opposite bracket, as in past years.

Does anyone know if the format for the WCWS is the same as in years past i.e., in Bracket 1, assuming that OU wins and UCLA wins their opening game, the loser of the game between OU vs UCLA would bounce to the elimination game in the opposite bracket (Bracket 2) playing the winner of the first elimi...

The way that our bats have cooled recently, we need to reestablish our batting prowess. Likely will run-rule PV A&M

Yeah, OUr pitching was not that great, either. Pokes better count themselves lucky that Jordy was unable to pitch. I love Hope, but she is not the Sooner that I want in the circle in clutch moments, when the pressure is on. She walks too many in pressure situations. Combined with our bats going quie...
