Mary Nutter and Other Roundup (2026)

The most prominent event of this past weekend was the Mary Nutter Classic in the Palm Springs, California, area. The 30-team tournament (29 college squads plus a team from Japan) featured three Top Ten teams -- Texas Tech, Oklahoma, and Nebraska -- but the trio did not play each other. There were also several teams just outside the national Top Ten. 

The shocker of the weekend -- not just at the Mary Nutter but overall -- was No. 4 Oklahoma's 6-4 loss to Long Beach State. The Beach (9-6 at the end of the weekend) went 2-3 at the Nutter, losing to BYU, Oregon State, and St. Mary's, and beating Bethune-Cookman.

Texas Tech swept its games against collegiate competition to raise its overall record to 16-1, but dropped a 1-0 exhibition contest to Japan (which doesn't count in the Red Raiders' record). 

Nebraska went 5-0 on the weekend, its most impressive win coming over No. 11/13 Texas A&M by an 8-2 tally.

Texas went undefeated over five games at Stanford's DeMarini Invitational, raising the Longhorns' record to 14-1. Texas beat the No. 10 Cardinal once and No. 16 Arizona twice.

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.
