**Friday, Saturday, and Sunday (if necessary). 

Oklahoma at Auburn underway. Sooners leave bases loaded in top of first, without scoring... Auburn does the same in the bottom of the second... Oklahoma is leading 2-0, top 6, and has the bases loaded with two out... Pop to 2B ends threat... Final score is 4-0 Sooners...

Florida State leads LSU 1-0, bottom 4... After Tigers tie the game in the top of the fifth on this slide, Noles put two across in bottom of sixth; final is 3-1...

Texas A&M and Tennessee are just beginning... Vols lead 3-0 in the bottom of the third; can blow it open with bases loaded and none out... 6-0 Tennessee, still bases loaded, still none out... 8-1 Vols is the final...

Kentucky at Oregon underway... Ducks take 1-0 lead... Oregon threatening to open up some daylight, with bases loaded and none out, bottom 6... Ground-out to first advances UO runners a base each, making score 2-0... Ground-out to short brings in another run, 3-0 Ducks... (Apparent) error on grounder to short makes it 4-0... UK retired uneventfully in top 7, 4-0 is your final...

Two-run shot from Amanda Lorenz has Florida on top of Alabama, 2-0, top 3... Still 2-0 as Bama bats in bottom of seventh. Tide, down to final out, gets runner on first via grounder to short, as ump rules throw pulled 1B-person off the bag; replay shows 1B-person's foot still was on bag, but evidently no replay appeals... All moot, as next batter grounds out to pitcher... Gators even the series... 

Arizona up 1-zip over Baylor, bottom 2, Wildcats with a runner on second with none out. No more scoring in this at-bat for U of A... However, Wildcats add a run in third on Katiyana Mauga's 92nd career homer to make it 2-0... Home-run record is 95 by Lauren Chamberlain... With the score still 2-0, top 6, Baylor puts together a triple and homer (by Ari Hawkins) to tie the score, 2-2... Same score, with Arizona batting in bottom of seventh; runners on first and second after walk to Mauga, none out... Sharp single to left loads bases... Line single to center wins it for Wildcats, 3-2...

UCLA up 1-zip on Ole Miss, but Rebels get lead-off runner on first in bottom of second... A Bruin throwing error gives Ole Miss runners on second and third with one out... Nice catch in left for UCLA saves a run... Infield pop-up ends Rebel threat... Mississippi down to its final three outs, as it comes up in the bottom of the seventh, trailing 1-0... Rebels go down quietly, Bruins become first team to qualify for Women's College World Series...

Washington takes early 5-0 lead over Utah, aided substantially by first-inning three-run homer...   Utes get back into game in top of fourth with their own three-run blast... Huskies trying to pad their 5-3 lead in bottom of fourth, with runners on first and second and one out... Walk loads the bases... Morganne Flores, who homered earlier for Washington, trying to do it again... She does, adding a grand-slam to her earlier three-run shot! 9-3 Huskies...

Few minutes after 6:00 pm Central: We now have our eighth team for the Women's College World Series, Oregon State (in the postings below, all WCWS qualifiers are depicted in bold). The Beavers defeated Cal 3-0 and then 1-0 today, to take the teams' super-regional series 2-1. 4:40 pm Central: We have the identities of two more teams going to the WCWS (bringing the total to seven), but Oregon State has stayed alive against Cal, forcing a third and deciding game to determine the one remaining team for the World Series. Leave it to the Beavers! Here are the two teams (in bold) that have earned bids to Oklahoma City thus far today: Tennessee , which edged Michigan 1-0 in what must have been a very dramatic finish to those who saw it live. The reason I say must have been is that ESPN cut away to show a live Barry Bonds at-bat in his quest for 715 home runs, a number that would surpass Babe Ruth for second on the all-time list. Sure enough, Bonds blasted one deep into the c...

2026 WCWS Championship Game 2

Top 1 (T1) Texas is the visitor tonight... Kayden Henry leading off... Line single to right, bringing up Katie Stewart, who has homered in her last four games and has 31 on the season...

Reese Atwood up... Henry steals second; throw goes into center, but Henry can't advance further... Atwood grounds back to Canady to end the half-inning... Bottom 1 (B1) Mia Williams grounds to third for first out... Mihyia Davis, who homered in the first last night, HBP... Lauren Allred up... K looking for two outs... Jackie Lis up... Davis steals second... Lis with hard, sinking liner to center, but Henry crouches down to snare it in the air... T2 Leighann Goode up for Texas... Grounds back to Canady for first out... Hannah Wells K swinging for second out... Kaiah Altmeyer ground to short for final out... B...

2026 WCWS Championship Game 1

 Game 1 of the championship series is about to get underway. Texas will be the home team... Top 1 (T1) Teagan Kavan strikes out Mia Williams to get things started... Mihyia Davis homers to left for a quick 1-0 Raider lead (can't find video)... Nothing further for Tech...  Bottom 1 (B1) Kayden Henry leads off with bunt single off of Raider starter Kaitlyn Terry... Katie Stewart homers to center ( video ) to put Longhorns up 2-1... Last year's TTU-Texas championship opener was a pitchers' duel... This year, not so much...Viviana Martinez singles up the middle... Will we see NiJaree Canady soon, as Tech coach Gerry Glasco has been frequently shuffling his pitchers?... Sticking with Terry... Fielder's choice and fly-out for first two outs... Hannah Wells singles, putting runners at the corners with two out... Now Canady's coming in... Kaiah Altmeyer with infield single, 3-1 Longhorns with runners on first and second... Ashton Maloney triples and suddenly it's 5-1 Te...
