Oklahoma State has taken the opener of its series at Florida State, 3-1 in nine innings. Michaela Richbourg's two-run homer (video) in the top of the ninth proves to be the difference.
Alabama leads Texas 3-0 in these teams' opener, with the Longhorns coming up in the top of the sixth... No further scoring, as the Crimson Tide takes Game 1...
***
Things went almost entirely to form last weekend, with 15 of the 16 national seeds advancing. The only exception was No. 15 Michigan, which lost to James Madison. However, another seven of the national seeds dropped a game in the regionals and were thus forced into a winner-take-all finale (listed below). Typically, the unseeded team the seeded team lost to was the same team the seeded team needed to beat in the winner-take-all match-up (an exception was Texas, which lost to a different team than it faced in the final).
