The following table shows the status of each regional. The "2-0" and "2-1" column headings reflect teams' records entering Sunday's play (with the exception of the Columbia, Missouri regional, which started a day earlier). Under the double-elimination format, the "2-1" team had to beat the "2-0" team twice on Sunday to advance. Teams in bold (with game-article links) have advanced to the super-regionals.
*Beat the "2-0" team to set up a winner-take-all game.
Here are some comments I posted during the day:
Tennessee has finally gotten to Arizona ace Danielle O'Toole, with Lexi Overstreet slugging a three-run homer in the top of the fourth to give the Vols a 3-1 lead... Tennessee leaves the bases loaded in the fourth, however, so things aren't as bad for U of A as they could have been... Bottom fifth: A Tennessee fielding error (a grounder to short with a runner on first, which gets through) helps Arizona tie the game 3-3... Wildcats bring O'Toole back, with Vols having runners on first and third with no outs in the top of the seventh. Still 3-3... Tennessee hits into two infield outs, lead runner still at third... Third straight infield out ends threat... U of A can advance to super-regionals with a run in the bottom of the seventh... Zona goes quietly, Tennessee batting in the top of the eighth... Nothing doing for Vols... Wildcats scratch out a run (error puts runner on first, bunted to second, singled home) to win 4-3 and advance...
Cal State Fullerton is out fast against UCLA... However, a three-run homer and a solo shot now have the Bruins in the lead, 5-3...
Also off to an early lead is Washington over Minnesota. Currently 4-1 U-Dub...
Georgia leads Oklahoma State 2-0 in a winner-take-all contest...
Louisiana-Lafayette off to a 1-0 lead over Texas A&M on a homer by senior Lexie Elkins. Elkins, the first overall pick in last month's National Pro Fastpitch draft, played her frosh season at Texas Tech (home of your humble blogger).
