Two of the eight super-regional series -- Georgia at Florida State and Oregon at Oklahoma State -- get underway tonight. I'll be keeping track of the results in the chart below and commenting on the games. In the chart, (-) denotes an unseeded team.
Oregon at Oklahoma State
Now getting underway... Ducks leave runner on second in T1... Leadoff single for Oregon T2... Runner sacrificed to second and then singled in, 1-0 Ducks... Soft pop back to pitcher ends threat... Leadoff single by Cowgirls B2... Rare 5-4-3 double-play to end OSU threat... B4, Cowgirls' Kiley Naomi socks a solo-shot to tie game 1-1 (video)... One-out rally continues, as walk and double give Cowgirls runners on second and third... Grounder back to Oregon pitcher, who indecisively throws home. erratically, now 2-1 OSU... Bloop hit to left, just out of reach of Duck SS, makes it 3-1 OSU... Still only one out, runners on first and second... Walk to load bases for OSU... Nothing further, as Cowgirls pop out and runner gets doubled off... Oklahoma State adds four runs in the fifth, now leading 7-1... 8-1 is the final, as OSU takes 1-0 lead in the super-regional...
Georgia at Florida State
The Seminoles' Kathryn Sandercock won't be pitching a second straight perfect game, as the Bulldogs get a leadoff bunt single... Steal and passed ball move runner to third but she's left stranded... UGA takes 1-0 lead T2 as Sydney Kuma homers (still looking for video)... FSU B2 lead off with walk and single, putting runners on the corners... However, fly-out (not deep enough to send runner), tag play on runner trying to score on infield grounder, and line-out leave Seminoles scoreless... FSU single and double tie the game 1-1 B3... Another double for 2-1 Seminole lead... Single up the middle for 3-1 FSU lead... Pitching change for Bulldogs... After HBP, UGA goes for inning-ending double-play on infield grounder, only get runner at second, not first, with runner from second scoring for 4-1 Seminole lead... Fly-out ends inning... FSU with bases loaded, one out, B5, looking to break things open... Dribbler through right side drives in two, now 6-1 Florida State... Now 8-1... Still 8-1 B6... That's your final... FSU leads the super-regional 1-0...
