It appears the teams are re-seeded for the CWS. What are the chances that the 3 B12 teams are in one bracket?
 
There are no softies in the WCWS - just the way it should be. Very proud of the Longhorns for winning two tough series on the road - hope they do well in OKC.
 
Well it’s UCLA! They beat Duke pretty handily in two. 3-2 and 8-2. They have 2 elite pitchers, Megan Faraimo 22-4 and Holly Azevedo 20-2. We lost to them on February 19 in the Clearwater tournament 2-1 with Faraimo getting the win and Simpson getting the loss. Simpson pitched 5-1/3 innings with Czech pitching to 2 batters.
Mike White was still experimenting with his line up at that time and simply put we have gotten better. We can beat this team!
Isn’t it great to finally be in the elite 8 and the WCWS! :hookem3::hookem3::hookem3:

Before the start of Supers, I analyzed Mike's coaching history to see how well he did in the tournament, especially with commentators saying, "White has always made the Supers each year with the Longhorns". What I found was that his WCWS years were those where his RPI was 6 or better. Below 6, his runs ended at Supers or one single Regional.

But not this year! That's why there are exceptions to the rules.

It’s an exceptionally gutsy team. I think that partially explains the exception.
 
I’m thinking about going to watch Texas at the WCWS. Has anyone ever been? What are the difficulties in parking? Plenty of Tickets are available on stub hub but can you buy them at the park? The okies are in session 1 with us so that session will probably be sold out? Do people hawk tickets at the entrance? Thanks for any info.

You might have more luck offering to pay in cigarette cartons than $. Or tires.

I’m curious as well. I don’t live far from OKC (still several hours).

Never been but it’s summer and I’m a HS teacher so I have time. Would be traveling with two young daughters.

Would love any travel recs.
 
I remember when Mike White's Oregon team came to the Austin Regional ten years ago and upset us 2-1 after we won the first game; think we were the #6 and they were the #11 seed. That was his first trip to the WCWS, IIRC. Feels like we've come full circle now.
 
Who calls the game for our pitchers during game? After watching Ark series a few times I thought whoever did did an amazing job of keeping ball inside the park. With that being their strength they hit not one long ball. Of course Pitchers did an outstanding job of executing as well.
 
I’m so excited for these girls. I have an inside source that told me some of the girls weren’t getting along in the beginning of the season and things were happening which explains all the errors and no team chemistry. It’s amazing what happens when team chemistry is at an all time high.
 
I am getting EXCITED about this tournament. I watched the promo video the Texas Softball account posted and it’s got me hyped.

I’m hoping Dolcini is ready to go and can shut down UCLA!!!
 
I was going to suggest Simpson to get the start but, I remembered they gave the athletes a day off if we win so hopefully Dolcini is ready and if we come out with the win she will be rested before Oklahoma. Simpson did pitch a great game against Ucla earlier in the season but an error cost us that game.
