[ManitouDan2]

Wash - Arizona
Minney- UCLA
Florida-- Ok St
Ok - Bama .


Great place to discuss the strategy and plays of the week .

I'm going
Wash
UCLA
Florida
Oklahoma in round 1

[ManitouDan2]

Lucasville Oh native Big T Taryn Alvelo opening up Game 1 with 4 K's in a row !

[ManitouDan2]

Oh make that 5 K in a row .. 71 MPH and painting the lines , her last pitch to end the inning was 73

I got arizona all the way and would've said this before the win. Big win today considering Washington just swept them in Arizona at the beginning of the month.

[ManitouDan2]

UCLA - Oklahoma still unbeaten , one of the 2 in the drivers seat for a title . Last night wasn't too much surprise , Ok> over Ok St easily . Ucla looked strong . The thrower for UCLA has laser beam control . I'd hate to try to umpire her games , she on the borders of the 4 quadrants near every pitch .

[ManitouDan2]

I'd expect Wash to get by Minny today , and Florida to beat Bama

[ManitouDan2]

Barnhill from flora has 11K. , pitches a 2 hitter and loses 2-1 .. giving up 2 single shots to the same batter . hard way to lose but your offense cant let you down that badly .

[ManitouDan2]

I hope Oklahoma wins it if Florida or Bama doesn't -- Bama doesn't have the pitching to win it . They good , but they aint that good . I just dont want UCLA to win it .

[ManitouDan2]

Current game between Wash and UCLA is everything a CWS should be , scoreless into the 10th currently .. Alvelo entered in the 6th . The pitch calling and D have been A+. .. In the 10th after throwing 95 % heat UCLA P R Garcia threw like 6 changes . Wash had no chance against that pitch .

UCLA playing tomorrow
What a game

[ManitouDan2]

Another observation is watching how devastating a rise ball can be to a great offense . This is like The Year of The Rise Ball . R Garcia is an absolute master at throwing that pitch barely above the waist , where its really close to being a strike . But then EXPLODES up and most hitters dont stand a chance . Her control is downright amazing , only thing that might help Oklahoma is she has near exhausted , threw near 200 pitches yesterday . And why would anyone pitch to her , simply walk her and take your chances .

[VetteMan]

I hope Oklahoma wins it if Florida or Bama doesn't -- Bama doesn't have the pitching to win it . They good , but they aint that good . I just dont want UCLA to win it .

I agree with you, just don't want UCLA to win it. Two outstanding teams, should be a great Series.

Wow! After watching tonight's "Beatdown" by UCLA of Oklahoma by the score of 16-3, I hope I'm wrong but the way that the Bruins are hitting the ball, and having a dominate pitcher that they do have, I think that Oklahoma will play a lot better than they did tonight, but I can't see them being able to beat UCLA 1 game, let alone win the next 2 games. I probably should have also put this on the College Topic instead of HS Softball.
