This group is just really impressive. We gotta hang on to Ricketts. She could build a dynasty...

I was wondering the same thing. Hope we're not about to learn about a Morgan Stiles injury.
If we win today, we are set up nicely. Winners today play Saturday. And we can certainly win today.
We have a nice problem in pitching - do you go with the All-American and high draft pick in Peja? Do you go with the pitcher who threw a no-hitter on the road in the regional? Or do you go with the pitcher that handcuffed the top lineup in the nation?

The lineup card has been reposted with Stiles at short. All is well.
Good. Also, Faircloth is now pitching, which is probably a safer choice there.
Are the underdog shirts on sale
I was going to order one of the t-shirts but they're $60.

Winner plays Tennessee/Texas winner on Saturday afternoon on ABC. Losers play in an elimination game Friday. WCWS schedule works a little difference than baseball. Plus, you have that bracket switch with the loser of the 1-0 games switching to the other bracket. So if we win, there's a good chance we will have to play Alabama/UCLA/Nebraska/Arkansas at some point.
Rough start. I’m sure Jason Williams will go on barstool tomorrow and say he’ll never come to Starkville again
I forgot, or never knew how cool you were.
B/S thread title, in any case.
Time to play some ball.
Yea, Faircloth was really off today. Finally had to pull her because she was having trouble finding the strike zone and when she did it was getting hit hard.
What is BS about it? I was posting the press conference and just decided I may as well start the game thread.
Yeah, that was just an unlucky inning. Could have easily scored a couple of runs if two of those balls are hit just a little farther from the outfielders.
College Baseball has it too (its green)
Runner can hit that to protect the first baseman.
Yeah, we weren't coming back, but there absolutely shouldn't be a run rule in the postseason that ends a game after a team gets only 5 innings of ABs.
There have been enough big comebacks already this postseason to make that clear.

Hey to say it but I think the ladies were a bit more concerned with broccoli than they were about playing ball.
I agree. Don't the men have to play a full 9 at the CWS and in the NCAA Tournament as well?
Meh. Stepped up to Big Girl Softball now.
plenty to be proud of for these young ladies and their coaches.

Felt like we were playing with some expectations on us and came out tight and nervous. Need to get back to that carefree, playing with house money, nobody expects anything of us attitude we had in G3 against OU.
Watching UCLA vs Bama… UCLA looks very much like OU. Pure power all up and down the lineup. Coach Ricketts did incredible this postseason but it’s a minor miracle we made it this far. We aren’t on the same planet as these teams talent wise. Moving in the right direction though.
