Should be but won't be.

[Side.Show.Joe]

The girls were nervous at the start and gave up 2 runs in the 1st inning. Peters gave up another later in the game, and UNT fell by a score of 3-0. The bats just couldn't string together hits.

Elimination game tomorrow against Fordham. Not sure of the time just yet.

[Marty]

Fordham today at 3:30.

[Hunter Green]

We're up 4-0, top of the 3rd.  Grand slam bottom of the 1st.

5-0 top of the 6th. OSU beat Nebraska 7-4, so if we go on to win, we get the Huskers again.

All of a sudden, we're afraid to swing to bat. Runners on 2nd and 3rd with one out and then two called strike 3s. Jeez.

[Hunter Green]

5-3 final.

Go Mean Green!

Fast forward to the next game against Nebraska. Mikayla Smith just gave us a 3-0 lead on an RBI double in the bottom of the 4th. Winner has to beat Oklahoma State twice tomorrow to advance to the Super Regionals.

Commentators act as if they're calling golf.

They keep showing the bracket with a single game tomorrow. I would assume it is double elimination, but it could be like the CUSA final and a winner take all. Do we k ow which format it is for sure?

Heard the announcers say Oklahoma State would have to lose twice.

Mean Green Ladies defeat Nebraska 3-0.  Have to beat Oklahoma State twice tomorrow to advance.

Yep, just heard that as well.  Great win vs. Nebraska.  Sweeping OK St. will be a monumental task, but I believe in this team.  Great pitching performance by Savage.

Or, should I say that was a Savage Pitching performance. Rock me.

It is true double-elimination so with Oklahoma State being 2-0, the Green would have to beat them twice to advance. Since we're already 2-1, the next loss will send us home.

Go Mean Green Ladies!

I don't know about the Ft. Worth Star Telegram, but not a single word in the DMN about our softball games. I just have a hard time believing that SMU wouldn't get a little ink.

0-0 going into the 6th.  Our defense has played fantastic keeping us in it.  

[UNTLifer]

2-0 OSU up on us going to the bottom of the 7th. We have the meat of our order coming up, but the Cowgirls pitcher has been unbelievable today. If any team can do, this one can. 

[UNTLifer]

Freaking ESPN+ goes off at the end of the game. POS app.
