Two games are on tap for tonight, No. 12-seed Texas Tech at No. 5-seed Florida State, and No. 11-seed Clemson at No. 6-seed Texas... All series are two-out-of-three to get to the Women's College World Series... TEXAS TECH-FLORIDA STATE The Red Raiders lead 2-0. Tech scored single runs each in the first innning (based on two singles and an FSU throwing error) and the fourth (on an Alana Johnson homer; video ).

After a fly-out, TTU 1B- and 2B-persons both go for infield grounder, with no one covering first (ruled a hit)... FSU with runners on first and second, one out...

Back-to-back pop-ups to third for two out... This time a pop-up to the right side ...

NO. 1-SEED TEXAS A&M VS. LIBERTY GAME 1: Liberty (home team) with early 1-0 lead over No. 1 Texas A&M B2... Flames add a run B2 to lead 2-0... Now 6-0 Liberty... A&M (trailing 6-1 after three) closes to within 6-2 T4... Word of Texas A&M's demise is premature. Aggies end up with six runs in T4 to lead 7-6. After two were out in T4, A&M gets single, single, HR, and HR before Flames get the final out... Ag...
