Dawgs up 5-2 on Duke, trying to upset the #14 seed and head to Florida

Ducks up 7-3, trying to force a game 7

Arizona up 4-0, trying to force a game 7

UCLA up 3-0, trying to close out their regional and head to South Carolina

20 min until aggy-Liberty

Boneheaded baserunning by Georgia with the runner tagging from 2nd getting tagged out for the 3rd out before the runner tagging from 3rd can score costs them another run but they still put up 3 in the top of the 8th.

Looks like Arky and OKST got pushed to 7:15. Gotta be a late night in Fayetteville if OKST can force a game 7

unfortunately I expect Liberty to get run ruled.  but man a helluva a fight by them against the "#1" team.  

I know the LIberty coach is Softball hall of famer but man you gotta tell your batter to take 2 strikes and maybe 3.  the chances of a walk in that situaton were probably 50/50.

You never tell someone to take 3 strikes with the winning run on 3B.

Especially with the college zone. Never know when it will suddenly expand and be a strike

Liberty coach Dot Richardson is one of the greatest American players of all time. Age has not been kind to her and now she looks like Nature Boy Rick Flair

She's also an M.D.

My daughter met her and the Late Joan Joyce during her recruitment. Two of the best visits ever. Joan Joyce played professionally in about 4 sports and also was on the national team for volleyball. She coached well into her 80’s. Dot gave up medicine to coach.

I know the aggy catcher is a big girl, but is that the largest chest protecter they could find? She looks like Engleberg

It’s a bib.

Tweaked for accuracy.

The fuck are they talking about the baseline for?  Even if the ump didn't call it she was out at home anyway.

They finally figured out the review is about obstruction I guess.

Yep….poor Liberty getting totally screwed by the umps….fuck aggy.

they umps actually called it right.  it was the review location that over turned it, right?

not every contact between runner and fielder is obstruction.

Yep….the booth called it wrong.  The runner slides right into the 3rd baseman knocking the ball loose, then pops up and heads home, only to get called out….only to have aggy appeal….and get their way.  Clearly not obstruction.

I think Liberty has a chance since aggy is not using their best pitchers…Liberty can hit.

They need to start chipping away

What the fuck is a fielder to do if they’re standing behind the bag

unfortunately, the "you can't touch anyone ever" BS that has been around in men's sports has filtered down to women's sports.  It's worse in women's sports when that happens, everyone has to "play nice", smile and laugh no matter what happens.  it's kinda BS.  these ladies are tough athletes, treat them as such.

Just got pulled after giving up a solo HR…Kennedy returning to the mound…she can’t have too much gas left in her tank.

The runner slid into the 3rd baseman….no question, then called the 3rd baseman for obstruction…..seriously?   Apparently!
