Teams eliminated today include LSU and Mizzou.Arkansas is down 11 to OU in the 5th...pretty much call them done. South Carolina down 6-0 to TX in the final inning—out.

Kentucky lost their first game against Va Tech, 0-0 in the bottom of the third in the final game. A&M and Baylor in a good game now on ESPN2. Georgia plays for their tournament lives tonight and NC State needs to be Tennessee twice to advance.

Miss. State has already been eliminated.

The LSU team that swept Bama was just eliminated by La La. Lost to them 3-0 and then 1-0.

MO is still alive, but they should be out. Beat Hofstra 1-0 in their first game. MO had 1 hit and Hofstra had 8! Hofstra won 10-0 today and MO leads 1-0 in the first inning of the "if necessary" game.

Yes sir. I got 10 of the 11 right! :tongue-new:

I must have confused Oregon State's record with Mizzou's...was thinking they were 1-2.

---

In a very uncommon move I'm actually hoping UAB wins today...I can't recall ever rooting for them, in anything.

Tied 1-1 with UCLA right now. Of course, that might be more of me rooting against the PAC.

It would be fun to see them face UF.

I'm truly hoping South Alabama advances. Beating FSU twice is a tall task.

Looks like MO and ut are going to advance. Second year in a row that Louisville has hosted a regional as the #15 seed and matched against a #2 seed SEC team in the Super Regional. Second year in a row they have failed to advance to that SR. Last year against Bama, and this year against UF.

 

[252BAMA]

Kentucky and MO just advanced to the SR.

Looks like we're going to have a couple of good elimination games tonight.

USA still up on FSU and Baylor has taken the first game from the Aggies.

---

On a different note:

Normally, I'd be all in favor of as many SEC teams advancing as possible. But, I can't say I feel that way towards Mizzou or the Aggies.

Would have been nice for ut to lose and Bama get to host the SR.

Ruh Row! UCLA has runners at first and second with no outs in top of 11th.

 

[252BAMA]

Walk. On a 13 pitch AB! Bases loaded with no outs. Holy Cow! I just noticed that UCLA has 14 hits and UAB only 2. How have they stayed in this game?

USA getting close to putting a simple thumping on the 'Noles.

I realize USA is in at a 13 seed...but still.

 

[252BAMA]

Had to leave for awhile. Can't believe what happened with UAB-UCLA while I was gone. Folks, this is why Bama doesn't play UAB in football. Nothing to gain. Everything to lose.

Women's softball was probably invented at UCLA. If not, very nearby. UAB wins 3-2 in 13 innings with 4 hits and 1 error against UCLA with 16 hits and no errors. UCLA scores an unearned run due to the only error in the game in the top of the 11th to go up 2-1 only to have UAB tie it in the bottom of the 11th and win it in the bottom of the 13th. Unbelievable! You couldn't sell the script in Hollywood. They would laugh you out of the place.

While their loss is to a more formidable opponent, it's just as unusual to see Arizona out after the regionals as well.

Story to watch when we get to the WCWS?

If the seedings remain close to what they are now, it's going to put Oklahoma and Oregon on the same side of the bracket as a one and three seed.

NOW, if I recall correctly and I may be wrong on this...it seems to me when we get to the Super Regionals a win over a higher seeded opponent translates to the winning team getting that particular seed in the WCWS. So, a win in the Super's against Tennessee would throw us in the bottom bracket facing Florida and the second game putting us against Texas or Missouri.

That's off the top of my head...don't hold me to its veracity.
