2023 Super-Regionals -- Thursday

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...

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...

Top 1 (T1) Texas is the visitor tonight... Kayden Henry leading off... Line single to right, bringing up Katie Stewart, who has homered in her last four games and has 31 on the season...

Reese Atwood up... Henry steals second; throw goes into center, but Henry can't advance further... Atwood grounds back to Canady to end the half-inning...

Davis steals second... Lis with hard, sinking liner to center, but Henry crouches down to snare it in the air... T2 Leighann Goode up for Texas... Grounds back to Canady for first out... Hannah Wells K swinging for second out... Kaiah Altmeyer ground to short for final out... B...

2026 WCWS Championship Game 1

 Game 1 of the championship series is about to get underway. Texas will be the home team... Top 1 (T1) Teagan Kavan strikes out Mia Williams to get things started...

Katie Stewart homers to center ( video ) to put Longhorns up 2-1... Last year's TTU-Texas championship opener was a pitchers' duel... This year, not so much...Viviana Martinez singles up the middle... Will we see NiJaree Canady soon, as Tech coach Gerry Glasco has been frequently shuffling his pitchers?... Sticking with Terry... Fielder's choice and fly-out for first two outs... Hannah Wells singles, putting runners at the corners with two out... Now Canady's coming in... Kaiah Altmeyer with infield single, 3-1 Longhorns with runners on first and second... Ashton Maloney triples and suddenly it's 5-1 Te...
