2023 Super-Regionals -- Sunday

Only two series remain to be decided today, San Diego State vs. Utah and Alabama vs. Northwestern. Results of the other six super-regionals appear in the chart below and are discussed in previous postings.

Northwestern-Alabama underway, with Jaala Torrence in the circle for the Tide... NW gets leadoff batter on base on slow infield dribbler... Passed ball advances runner to second... K for first out... Fly to left for second out... K to end Wildcats' half of the first... Danielle Williams is the starting pitcher for NW... Leadoff walk... Bama runner bunted over to second... Grounder to Williams, runner trying to advance from second to third caught in rundown but high throw lets runner safely get back to second; batter safe at first on fielder's choice... Fly to shallow center for second out... Another fly to similar part of the outfield ends Tide threat... T2 Wildcats with one-out walk... Nothing comes of it... Game suspended B3 due to apparent weather warning (lightning within eight miles)... Play resumes after a one-hour delay... B3, Bama loads the bases with none out, scores two on an Ally Shipman single (video)... T4, NW puts runners on first and second with one out, leading Alabama to bring Montana Fouts in to pitch. Torrence and Fouts have proven to be a "dynamic due" in the circle for Bama... Fouts gives up a single that drives in a Wildcat run (video), Tide lead cut to 2-1... NW threat in T5, with runners on first and second and one out yields nothing... B5, Bama bats, leading 2-1... Jenna Johnson pulls one down the left-field line, off the foul pole (some say, "fair pole") for homer to make it 3-1 Tide (video)... T7, Wildcats need at least two runs to keep their season alive... Skyler Shellmyer leads off, retired on chopper to 2B-person... Maeve Nelson up next... 3-1 count... Solo homer to cut NW deficit to 3-2... Jordyn Rudd grounds out to short for second out... All up to Hannah Cady... Full count... Swing and miss, Bama holds on and advances... The field for the WCWS is now set...

Utah leads San Diego State 4-2 in the T5 but Aztecs have runners on first and second with two outs... Walk loads the bases... A.J. Murphy coming up... 1-2 count... Swing and miss to ending the half-inning... Now 5-2 Utah T6... Now 7-2 Utah, SDSU down to final at-bats... One out away... Utah closes it out and heads to WCWS... Third Pac 12 team (along with Washington and Stanford) to make it to Oklahoma City...

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...
