2017 Softball Post Season

Probably just watched OU lose and waiting for the OU / AU game coming up. Sorry she is such a distraction for you.
I'm new to softball and don't know how the regional works. Does TU know who they play tomorrow? Do they have to win tomorrow to make the super regional?
The winner of tonights OU Arkansas game plays N Dakota tomorrow. We play the winner of that game tomorrow afternoon We have to beat them one game out of two in the afternoon.
Its a double elimination tournament and TU has not lost. The winner advances to the Super Regional, where the winner will play a best of 3 series for the chance to go to the College World Series in OKC. TU has never made it to a Super Regional or a CWS.
Assuming TU can win a game tomorrow, then would play at 7th seeded Auburn in the Super Regional. Their opponent in the SR would be against either Auburn or Notre Dame, but that is just a guess on my part. We will know that based on the outcome of their regional tomorrow.
TU looking good for the first school Sweet 16. OU-Ark winner must then play NDSU with the winner then advancing only if they can beat TU twice. Emily Watson gets rest and either OU, Ark or NDSU pitching not rested.
Very cool. Not a huge softball fan, but anytime TU can advance in NORMAN and beat the Piggies makes me super happy.

Just curious as I am certainly not a softball expert. Are the signals they use that complicated? Every player has a decoder on their wrist. The pitcher looks at it before every pitch and the batter does as well.
She's going again today against OU. You gotta respect that. It might not be smart but damn, that's commitment.
Looks like OU came to play today. 3-0 top of first with no outs. Hope we can slow them down later. They haven't beaten NDSU in 11 years.
Keep in mind that NDSU was sub .500 for the season and their pitcher threw the first two games below her ERA for the year. They got a couple of great games from her but they're regressing to the mean so to speak.
Some inherent advantages 4 TU
OU will have played 4 games to Tulsa’s 2
OU pitching will have played thru their rotation
2 questions:
1)Total # of pitches the OU starters have pitched so far?
2)What’s the mental & physical drain on da’ OU players
to play thru the losers bracket? how will they respond.
A blow out game vs NDSU gotta help them Bloomers
2 B ready 4 TU

6 outs away and blow the lead. Hope the offense has something in them. I want to see this team in a super regional
That was a nice play by Watson. Good thing she threw it underhand. Still almost threw it away.
Too much to take in. We had to memorize the signs. And the indicator. And the swipe. And there was the indicator for the base runner.
I just don't know how we win tomorrow. I hate being pessimistic but that game was ours. And it was blown twice. I hope I'm wrong, but Watson needs to be a lot better tomorrow
