Judi Garman Classic 2020

The 14-team Judi Garman Classic gets underway today in Fullerton, California. The nation's No. 2, 3, and 4 teams according to the latest ESPN.com/USA Softball poll -- Washington, Texas, and LSU -- are participating in the Garman. The only other ranked teams from this poll in the field  are No. 11 Michigan and No. 24 Texas Tech.

LSU edged Texas Tech 6-5 this afternoon. The Red Raiders rallied for three runs in the top of the seventh to tie the game, only to have the Tigers score a run to win in the bottom half of the inning... With the win over Texas Tech, LSU avoided what would have been an embarrassing 0-2 start in the Garman Classic, as the Tigers dropped their opener to Loyola Marymount...  Tech, on the other hand, goes 0-2, losing also to host Cal State Fullerton.

Before Texas joins the field at the Judi Garman Classic, however, the Longhorns are playing tonight at No. 1 UCLA. A gametracker is available here. Texas leads 2-1 at the moment (6:40 pm Pacific), with the Bruins batting in the bottom of the second...

UCLA trying for another nail-biter win to stay undefeated, trailing Texas 6-4 in the bottom of the eighth with two out and runners on first and second... It's a final, with the Longhorns winning 6-4.

This Friday (and all remaining Fridays of the regular season), I will preview the upcoming weekend's games. Before doing so, I wanted to do an entry, primarily for sports fans who have not watched much softball, on differences they could expect to see between softball and baseball. The Sandy Plains Softball Association of Marietta, Georgia has produced a document entitled Fastpitch 101 , which details the similarities and differences in the rules of the two sports. Here are some of my own observations from over the years: 1. Because the bases are considerably closer together in softball (60 feet) than in baseball (90 feet), softball infielders consistently must pick up ground balls and make their throws to first base quickly, in order to get the runner. In other words, many (if not most) softball grounders result in "bang-bang" plays at first base, necessitating a lot of close calls by first-base umpires, who must detect whether the thrown ball (to the first-baseperso...

Washington used a first-inning grand-slam homer from pitcher Danielle Lawrie and some late insurance runs to defeat Georgia by a score of 9-3 in tonight's late game. The win gives U-Dub a spot in the best-of-three championship series against Florida starting Monday (Georgia had defeated Washington earlier today, 9-8 in nine innings, to force tonight's rematch). The Huskies thus claimed "top dog" status over Georgia on their side of the bracket. Florida got a two-out grand-slam homer from Ali Gardiner in the bottom of the seventh to edge Alabama 6-5. The Crimson Tide made a strong recovery in the tournament after looking "not ready for prime time" in an opening-round loss to Michigan. But, as a result of tonight's heartbreaking loss to the Gators, Bama is now eliminated. Lowrie's and Gardiner's grand-slams are among four that have been hit so far in this World Series.
