LOL. I guess I should clarify. When I said no other teams hit like ULL, I wasn't referring to batting average. I was talking about ULL's ability to beat a good pitcher with raw power. When those big boppers start getting their timing worked out, they can score runs in bunches and they can do it very quickly and against a good pitcher.

Our Sooners are a much better team, overall, than ULL. Personally, I believe OU will be the best team at the CWS. But I'm glad we won't have to face those bashers of ULL again and I think the Sooners will have an easier time beating teams like Auburn, Georgia, etc.

La-Lafayette has some strong girls who hit home runs with raw power. They aren't suited to the running game. They play decent, but not superlative defense. Their best defensive player has the ability to stop anything, but the judgement to throw it away when she should hold it. A team that can beat you by simply hitting a pop up that carries 220 feet can score in a hurry. You have to have good control to keep them from getting good pitches. It is very unlikely that a good team will be beaten by their getting four hits in a row. A walk, an error, and a three-run home run is more likely. Elkins is Chamberlain-like.

They have a solid pitcher too. Let's not all of a sudden make them into a second rate team because OU beat them twice.

Bigger draw than UCF itself.
OU M Tennis >>>>>>> UCF M Tennis. The facility and impact on youth tennis in Florida was the draw.

They are a lot of fun to watch. Last night's 7-6 game was a nail biter. I just wish they had a little more pitching depth. They need someone besides Paige Parker in the World Series.

If Paige is on her "A" the Sooners have a chance despite having only one ace as a starting pitcher. The key is staying in the winners bracket. OU opens Thursday PM against Alabama. Should they win they would probably play Michigan on Friday. Beat Michigan and they are off Saturday while the winner of he loser's bracket is determined. They would then play the loser's bracket winner on Sunday.

The Sunday game would be against a team that had already played 3 games and OU having played only two games plus coming off of a days rest. Win the first game Sunday and you are in the championship round with Paige having thrown only 3 games in 4 days. That is more than doable.

Were OU or Michigan to make the championship round both would be big favorites over #4 Auburn, #8 FSU, #12 UCLA or #16 Georgia especially if the winner of that half of the bracket had one loss and had played 5 games getting to the championship.

Move to the loser's bracket and our chances are almost less than slim with the pitching that is behind Parker.

if OU and mich win on day one the loser of the 2 on day day will move to the opposite side of the bracket and will still have a great chance to get to the championship series
 
Great win by OU in the opening round of the WCSC tonight against Alabama. The score was tied 0-0 at the end of the 7th inning, but a three run walk-off home run by one of OU's super freshmen, Shay Knighten, gave the Sooners the victor in a very tough pitching duel between Paige Parker and the Tide's Alexis Osorio. The Sooners will play the winner of the game on now between Michigan and LSU tomorrow night.

Oh, with that victory, OU's win streak now stands at 28 straight.
 
They get Michigan at 8:30.

Agreed. With 8 freshmen and 4 sophomore on the roster, there's a better than even chance this team will be better the next two years.

Three freshmen and a sophomore start on the infield, yet they lead the nation in defense. Several players are more than capable of hitting the ball over the fence, as Knighten proved in last night's game. But, that's not what this team is about. They generate offense by hitting the ball as hard as they can on the ground and in holes, to force their opponent to play defense. If that means a .400 hitter needs to lay down a bunt to move a teammate over, that's what they'll do.

Every player in the lineup is averaging over .300 hitting, so there are no easy outs from the one through the nine spot. Michigan will be a tough match up in tonight's game. As a side note, Sydney Romero's older sister, Sierra, an All-American and one of the best players in the country plays for the Wolverines.

Sierra is the national player of the year, hopefully Sydney can be just as good as Sierra down the road
 
Huge win!!! I'm exhausted from gripping the sofa. There was way too much drama in the bottom of the seventh.
 
Great win tonight! Got tense there at the end, but that's what you get when you have the 2 and 3 seeds facing off. Nice job, Sooners!
 
Teams Eliminated .. (4) Alabama and (12) UCLA

Cross-bracket: The 1st round winners that lose in the second round, get "cross-bracketed" or sent to the other side of the bracket. Thus, Michigan has been sent over to the Auburn bracket, and Georgia has been sent over to the Oklahoma bracket. In other words, OU will not have to play Michigan again unless both teams make the Championship Round.

Sunday Schedule:

Noon Elimination Game .. (8) Florida State vs. (2) Michigan (ESPN)
Winner plays (4) Auburn at 6:00 PM in the Semi-Finals (ESPN2)

2:30 PM Elimination Game .. (10) LSU vs. (16) Georgia (ESPN2)
Winner Plays (3) Oklahoma at 8:30 PM in Semi-Finals (ESPN2)

Auburn and Oklahoma are undefeated in this double-elimination tournament. If Auburn and/or Oklahoma lose Sunday night, then the "if necessary" games would be played Monday night.

Here is the bracket:

So I'm watching OU/LSU and I'm confident that LSU is even dirty in women's softball- 1st inning and the gal is sliding into third base and had already been forced out and the gal comes in cleats up to the ankle of our third base player. Very very very dirty. Not even attempting to touch the base just going for Romero's ankle
