With Alabama and Tennessee remaining undefeated after yesterday's winners' bracket play, today's action features two match-ups of one-loss teams. After today, two will remain alive and two will be sent packing. TEXAS TECH-UCLA Texas Tech (the visitor) leads 3-2 as Bruins bat in B3... Raiders scored a single run on four hits in T1, which UCLA answered with a two-run shot by Jordan Woolery off of NiJaree Canady to lead 2-1... T2, Jasmyn Burns hits solo-shot for Tech and another run is walked it, making it 3-2 Tech... UCLA pitcher Taylor Tinsley's stat-line isn't pretty after three (allowing seven hits and two walks) but her team is right in the game... B3, Rylee Slimp with a leadoff double for UCLA... Megan Grant K for first out, bringing up Woolery again... Walk and two straight HBP tie the game 3-3, Bruins with bases loaded and only one out... Former Bruin Kaitlyn Terry coming in to face her old teammates, replacing Canady... Nothing further for UCLA... T4... Tech g...

NEBRASKA-ALABAMA T1, Huskers go down scoreless against Jocelyn Briski... B1, Bama with runners at first and second on walk and HBP with no outs against Jordy Frahm... K for first out... K for second out... Marlie Giles blasts one to center, giving Crimson Tide a 3-0 lead... Another K to end the inning... B3, still 3-0... Nebraska brings in Ashley Jensen to pitch, moving Frahm to 1B, to begin the half-inning... Leadoff walk, followed one out later by Husker mess-up playing a bunt, gives the Tide runners on second and third with one out... Giles up again...

UCLA-ARKANSAS Bruins (the visitors) go quickly in T1... Likewise for Hogs in their half... T2, Aleena Garcia's leadoff homer to center gives UCLA a 1-0 lead... After first out recorded, HBP and single give Bruins runners at first and second for Iowa transfer Soo-Jin Berry... Berry goes oppo to left for three-run homer, making it 4-0 Bruins. A "Berry Bombshell" if you will (which is a drink at Keva Juice )... Razorback left-fielder Kailey Wyckoff appears to lose her mitt over the fence, but presumably she will not be required to play the rest of the game bare-handed...  Pitching change for Arkansas, with Saylor Timmerman coming in... Walk for UCLA... Another walk and then Megan Grant unloads to center -- deep into the bleachers -- for her NCAA single-season record 42nd homer and a 7-0 UCLA lead... It's 9-0 before Arkansas can record a third out... B2, Tinsley struggling a little, allowing Arkansas runners at first and second after two were out and a 3-1 count on the ne...

The Bulldogs shocked No. 3 seed Oklahoma in their super-regional series. ARKANSAS-NEBRASKA T6, Razorbacks (visitors) batting in a 2-2 tie (Arkansas with a pair in the second, Nebraska with a pair in the fourth). Per ESPN commentators, Husker pitcher Jordy Frahm, who has gone the distance thus far, has retired 11 straight Arkansas hitters at this point... Difficult dribbler down the first-base line gives Hogs a runner at first with one out (ruled a hit, but runner might have been out if 1B-person could have held onto throw)... Grounder back to Frahm leads to double-play, retiring Arkansas... B6, Payton Burnham pitching for Hogs, having replaced Robyn Herron midway through fourth inning... Huskers down 1-2-3... T7,... Tianna Bell leads off for Arkansas... Hard single to left (pinch-run for)... Dakota Kennedy up... 3-0 count... Now full count......
