Three teams to Watch in today's D1 Softball Action
Posted: Tue Mar 12, 2024 7:08 am
Besides attending the Sooners DH against Tarleton State today, I will be watching three other teams today.
At Noon EST (really 11 AM CST), Texas plays LSU in Baton Rouge. It will be interesting to see who pitches for Texas in this game. I think many people would like to see the game be a pitching matchup of Berzon for LSU against Kavan for Texas. I think Berzon is a given for LSU, but I am not sure about Texas choosing Kavan. Both teams have alternate choices they can make.
Florida State also hosts South Dakota State for a DH. I want to see if Florida State can find 10-14 good innings from their pitching staff and be able to win two games against a potentially troubling South Dakota State team. Even at 13-14 SD State has played pretty well against everyone but OSU this season and they own some good wins. FSU can certainly hit, but the pitching has been challenging to find a solid arm consistently in the circle.
The Baylor DH against Lamar might be interesting also. I want to see if Baylor can score some runs against Lamar or do the Bears have to win low scoring runs even against Lamar.
Oh yeah, I am also interested to see if Oklahoma can keep up their upswing in offensive production today. I hope, once the fuse has been lit, the explosions should continue throughout the lineup. I also hope to see strong pitching for the Sooners.
