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 Salt Lake City 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.

Running commentary during the day: 

 Oklahoma State, trying to force "if necessary" rematch with Florida, scores game's first run in bottom of sixth, leaving Gators with just three outs left... UF lead-off walk in top of seventh... Bunted to second... Fly-out to center, two outs for Gators... Fly-out deep to left, Cowgirls win 1-0, forcing winner-take-all game later today... UF takes 2-0 lead in bottom of first on home-run blast... Gators win 5-0 to advance...

 Florida State survives a late rally by Georgia for an 8-5 victory and trip to the super-regionals...

 Oklahoma, looking to stay alive, is off to a quick start in rematch with North Dakota State, scoring four in top of first (including three-run homer by Shay Knighten)... Sooners need to win this game, and then beat Tulsa twice...

 Minnesota, fighting for its tournament life, is in extra innings with Louisiana Tech... Gophers batting in top of ninth of 2-2 game, threatening with runners on the corners with one out... No one covering first on infield grounder, so Gophers load bases... Kendyl Lindaman singles in two, putting Minnesota up 4-2... Gophers prevail 5-3 over LA Tech, now must beat Alabama twice...

 Alabama, needing just one win, leads Minnesota 1-0, as Gophers come up in bottom of fourth (gametracker)... That's the final, 1-0... Minnesota fails to score in two games vs. Crimson Tide (16 innings total: seven innings today, nine yesterday)...

 Tulsa, needing just one win to advance, off to 1-0 lead on Oklahoma as routine throw from catcher to pitcher returning ball gets away... Tulsa and OU tied 2-2, Sooners batting in bottom of sixth (gametracker)... Going extras, as Golden Hurricane bat in top of eighth... Tulsa scores two in top of 10th, OU counters with four on pair of two-run homers, first by Caleigh Clifton, second by Sydney Romero... Sooners win, forcing decisive game tomorrow...

 Baylor's Gia Rodoni pitches two no-hitters in regionals to lead Bears to supers...

 West Coast games now underway: Oregon 4-0 over Wisconsin, Ducks batting in bottom of second; Michigan 1-0 over Washington, two complete; Arizona and South Carolina scoreless, two complete...

 'Zona goes up 2-0 on SC in top of third (gametracker)... 9-0 is the final...

 U-Dub takes 2-1 lead over Michigan in top of third (gametracker). Huskies threatening more, with bases loaded, two out... Nice catch of blooper by Wolverine 2B limits damage... Michigan ties game 2-2 in bottom of fourth... Two-out, two-run double gives Huskies 4-2 lead in top of sixth... That's how it ends... Very subpar season for Michigan ends early...

 Oregon finishes off Wisconsin, 9-0, to advance...

 UCLA scores two in top of first, Fullerton scores one in bottom half. Still 2-1 in top of third (gametracker)... Bruins close it out, 9-1...

 LSU site continues to look gloomy with rain... McNeese and LSU are now playing, scoreless in the bottom of the second, around 8:30 pm Central...

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...

2012 Geospatial Map of NCAA Tournament

Here is my annual geospatial map of the NCAA regional assignments. The official NCAA bracket is listed here . Each of the 16 regional sites has its own color code. For example, the geographically compact University of Florida region, hosted by the No. 5 seed Gators and also featuring Central Florida, South Florida, and Florida Gulf Coast, depicts the teams in blue boxes with orange letters. Two of the most spread-out regions are:  The one hosted by top-seed Cal, whose visitors include Arkansas, Iona (NY), and Boston University. These teams are shown in dark-blue boxes with yellow lettering. The University of Washington (No. 16 seed) region, whose participants (depicted in purple boxes with yellow letters) include Texas Tech, Maryland, and Harvard. Overall, the seedings are about what I had expected them to be (other years have presented greater surprises). Conference highlights (and lowlights) include: Of the nine Pac 12 schools that field softball teams, eight got in t...

2025 WCWS Championship Round -- Game 3

The WCWS championship-deciding game is underway... Top 1 -- TTU can't do anything with a two-out HBP... Bottom 1 -- K for first Texas out... Kayden Henry beats out a grounder to short... Mia Scott grounds a single to right, runner advances to second... Reese Atwood with a sharp line single to left, driving in first run. Throw from left-fielder hits Tech infielder in the back, advancing Longhorn runners to second and third... Katie Stewart with a hard liner to right, now 2-0 UT, runners on the corners with one out... First time in the series Horns have scored in the early innings... Tech catcher throws to third on apparent pick-off attempt (unsuccessful), allowing Stewart to steal second... K for second out... Leighann Goode up for huge at-bat: an out will keep it a 2-0, a single could make it 4-0... Goode blasts homer to left-center ( video ), making it 5-0 Texas... Infield pop to end the inning... Top 2 -- Horns' Teagan Kavan, who in the first inning extended her stretch of...
