Friday night's winners' bracket doubleheader pits UCLA and Arizona in the first game, and local "Bedlam" favorites Oklahoma and Oklahoma State in the second.
Oklahoma strikes fast vs. Oklahoma State in the nightcap, a Jocelyn Alo single driving in two runs, with only one out... 2-0 Sooners... Grounder up the middle, bobbled by SS, leaves runners on the corners... Shay Knighten with a bloop/liner for a single up the middle, making it 3-0 for OU... Cowgirls finally get out of the inning... OSU bounces back for a run in the bottom of the first, driven in on a Michela Richbourg single... 3-1 OU... Been awhile since I last updated, due to many uneventful innings and a delay due to the lights on one of the towers going out. Sooners add three runs in the top of the sixth, making it 6-1 for OU... That's your final.
UCLA bats first as the visitor in the first game. The Bruins get a two-out line single to right in the top of the first. HBP gives UCLA two runners... K ends the half-inning... Leadoff HBP in Arizona half of the first... Two-out error on grounder to third gives Wildcats runners at first and second... Pop-up ends inning... Top 3: One-out single for UCLA... Followed by a walk... Bobbled grounder to short loads the bases, still with one out... Nice catch by Zona's Peanut Martinez on flare to right, but runner tags and scores from third. 1-0 UCLA... K ends the half-inning... Bottom 4: Alyssa Palomino-Cardoza hits one-out solo shot to right, tying the game 1-1... Two-out single keeps Wildcats' at-bats going... K ends the inning... Top 5: Two-out walk and single give Bruins some offensive life... Grounder to short ends the threat... Top 6: Malia Quarles with a pinch-hit long ball to give UCLA a 2-1 lead... Bottom 6: Leadoff double for U of A... Followed by HBP... Bunt advances runners to second and third, batter out a first... K for second out... Foul pop near third-base dugout ends threat... Top 7: After one-out single by Briana Perez, Aaliyah Jordan doubles her home (Jordan to third on throw home)... 3-1 Bruins... Walk to Rachel Garcia... Taylor Pack also walks, loading the bases for UCLA with one out... Shallow sac-fly to right, but pinch-runner Stevie Wisz manages to score from third. Looked like Wisz would get in a run-down between third and home, but Arizona catcher bobbles ball and Wisz sneaks her hand in at home. 4-1 UCLA... Colleen Sullivan's high fly to left (which would have ended the half-inning) dropped by Wildcat outfielder, allowing in two more runs. 6-1 Bruins... U U-of-A pitcher Alyssa Denham, who relieved starter Taylor McQuillin, records strike-out to end the Bruins' half of the inning... Wildcats coming up for their final chance in the bottom of the seventh... With two outs, Palomino-Cardoza hits her second homer of the game. 6-2 UCLA... Ground-out ends the game...
