2017 Softball is coming to the DFW area

[Tax Guy]

This weekend is at UT Arlington. I’m going to try to make it to at least one of the Saturday games. There’s a 5 hour gap between the 2 games so making both of them will probably not happen.
It looks like games will be streamed here: http://www.utamavs.com/collegesportslive/ It looked like it required a login but I didn’t go so far to see if there was a fee.
Also a midweek game in Norman.

Friday
10:00 am Incarnate Word (4-10)
12:30pm Saint Francis (11-6) played 2 with Fordham and split 5-3 and 1-6, Tulsa lost 6-7, also lost to Baylor 4-7, Tulsa lost 1-9
Saturday
12:30 Saint Francis
5:30 UT Arlington (9-7)
Sunday
11:00 UT Arlington
Wednesday
6:00pm #9 Oklahoma (9-4)
