Live Updates: FSU vs. Oklahoma in Women's College World Series Championship (Game 1)

[CurtWeiler]

Ump is giving that off-the-plate and away strike enough (not every time, which is frustrating) that FSU has to adjust its approach.

 

[Bob Ferrante]

Torres grounds out 4-3

 

[Bob Ferrante]

Boone hits a one-out double off the bottom of the wall

 

[Bob Ferrante]

[Bob Ferrante]

End 3rd, 0-0

 

[Bob Ferrante]

Really nice ceremony between innings as cancer survivors stand on the field and are honored. It's strike out cancer night.

 

[Bob Ferrante]

Bahl can't field the grounder, likely an error

Kerr is on first

 

[CurtWeiler]

Two errors already for Oklahoma. FSU's speed definitely playing a factor in that. Forcing OU to play close to perfect and the Sooners' defense is pressing.

 

[NoleLizards]

That's a rectangle... not a square.

 

[Bob Ferrante]

Harding strikes out swinging

 

[Bob Ferrante]

Edenfield HBP

 

[Bob Ferrante]

Flaherty grounds out to 1B, runners in scoring position now with two out

[Bob Ferrante]

Brito RBI single to RF

2-0 Oklahoma

 

[Bob Ferrante]

Sanders pops out to RF

 

[Bob Ferrante]

Torres reaches on the Reid error. Edenfield should have called her off there

3-0 Oklahoma

 

[FROST850]

Game over when you keep your best pitcher in the dug out. Again.

 

[CurtWeiler]

No reason to make that throw. So close to getting out of it with just two allowed and that's a brutal swing.

 

[Bob Ferrante]

Boone pops out to 2B

End 4th, 3-0 Oklahoma

 

[CurtWeiler]

At this point, we won't see Kat Sandercock tonight unless FSU ties this one up or takes the lead. No reason to.

 

[Bob Ferrante]

I think that should be Edenfield's play all the way. To field it and to judge if you should throw it to first

 

[CurtWeiler]

Game over when you keep your best pitcher in the dug out. Again.

Hindsight being 20-20, maybe should have brought in Kat there. But it seems Lonni has been pretty adamant that Kat will either start or close. Don't think she's been used in middle relief much. And I will say that the more times Oklahoma sees her, the tougher it will be for her.

Wacaser flies out to CF

 

[Bob Ferrante]

Keen strikes out swinging

 

[12Nole]

I’d love to see FSU come back and kick their ass to win the natty. Something about OU being really good/cocky, having home field advantage, and FSU bats being cold is annoying me more than it should.

I’m still extremely salty we let Josh Heupel take a natty from us and it’s carrying over to women’s softball in 2023.

 

[Bob Ferrante]

Muffley flies out to CF

Middle 5th, 3-0 Oklahoma

 

[CurtWeiler]

FSU keeping it close enough that Bahl has to keep pitching would be a plus. A rested Kat Sandercock vs. a less-rested OU ace would be a perk for FSU tomorrow night.

 

[Bob Ferrante]

Coleman singles

 

[Bob Ferrante]

Jennings lines out to Muffley

 

[Bob Ferrante]

Muffley secures the tough hop on the grounder, gets the out 6-3
