- Thread starter Bob Ferrante
- Start date
Kerr legs out an infield single on a grounder to second and Ross comes home to score the walk-off, run-rule run.
FSU run-rules Oklahoma State 8-0 in its WCWS opener behind a pair of home runs and a gem of a start by Kat Sandercock.

Believe it or not, that's the first time FSU has won its WCWS opener in five trips to OKC under Lonni Alameda.
Comes with some extra rest as FSU is now off until Saturday night at 7 p.m.

Looking at the forecast for Saturday, it's for rain all afternoon. Our game that night could well start later than 7.

All the better reason for FSU to win this one and not have to sweat out other weather delays over the next 36 hours.
Hope Lonni takes them to Cattlemen's tomorrow. They deserve it!
I went there before Game 2 in 2018. Highly recommend!
Thanks guys. This old man fell asleep. It was great reading the play by play this morning.
She may go Reid to start with Kat ready to relieve but I suspect she’s going with Anna Lytics. she Has been prone to throw whoever is best for the hitters we’ll face.
No. 15 Utah leads No. 1 Washington 1-0 in the second inning. Would be a break in terms of seeding in FSU's favor if it holds to face the Utes instead of the Huskies tomorrow night in the winner's bracket game.
The only caveat to that is the loser of the winner's bracket games switch sides of the bracket. So if FSU loses tomorrow to Washington or Utah, it switches sides and will have to beat OU twice unless Oklahoma loses to Tennessee tomorrow.
Makes tomorrow's game that much more important.
Anything can happen at this stage but if the FSU team we see resembles the one we saw last night, FSU should be fine.
See how the loser of Game 7 goes from the top to the bottom and plays in Game 10 and the Loser of Game 8 moves up and plays in Game 8?
It looks pretty straight forward here.
I see it. But, how does it make sense thar the 1 and 3 seeds (the highest seeds left) would play before the finals?
Even if #2 UCLA was still in it the same scenario could have played out. They would have had to play OU before the finals.
It's as though this format is trying to coerce teams into starting their aces as much as possible.
I assume it's to create some more variety of matchups and not have the same four teams facing off in some combination of games before the championship series. But I agree that it's far from logical.
Definitely not logical. Definitely a harder path to possibly have to be an undefeated and rested OU team twice than it would be to beat Washington twice if we were to stay In the current side of the bracket.
Thankfully it looks the worst overnight but that's not stellar. Today has been solid so far, almost through two games, so hopefully tomorrow can be lucky as well.
I deleted the post when I realized I was reading the forecast incorrectly. No further comment out of fear of jinxing things.
