This series was fantastic.

BUMP.

Today's the day. And of course, since it's Oklahoma, there's a chance of thunderstorms each of the next three days.

Don't know if Texas was seeded 2, 3 or 4 in their sub regional, but beating the number 5 national seed is a great win.

Grand slam in the 3rd.
Grand slam in the 4th.

Oklahoma playing "name the score" with Northwestern.

Interesting how college softball has a run rule while college and pro baseball don't.

Sooners win 13-2 in 5.

OU/UT Saturday afternoon.

Interesting how college softball has a run rule while college and pro baseball don't.

College baseball:

Ten-Run Rule
SECTION 79. By conference rule, or mutual consent of both coaches before the contest, a game may be stopped only after seven innings if one team is ahead by at least 10 runs. Each team must play an equal number of innings unless shortened because the home team needs none or only part of its half of the final inning.

Interesting. It's still not as cut and dry as softball seems to be. And I've seen softball games run-ruled with less than a 10 run lead. Different strokes for different folks.

*High school softball: 12 after 3, 10 after 5
*High school baseball: 15 after 4, 10 after 5
College softball: 8 after 5
College baseball: 10 after 7 (optional)

*in Iowa, anyway

Don't know if Texas was seeded 2, 3 or 4 in their sub regional

It was mentioned a few times in this thread.

Ok, looks like they were a 2 seed so not a gigantic upset, but still a good upset win.

#14 Florida 7, Oregon State 1

Next up: #7 Oklahoma State vs. Arizona

They have umpires at every base in the Regionals through the College World Series but they still can’t see slappers stepping out of the batters box and pitchers crow hopping.
