Not sure, don't have time to check. But I believe the 2 DH's permit Powell to stay in the game as DH should his back issue appear. Coral Gables, FL Weather and Radar Map - The Weather Channel | Weather.com You guys figure this out, fast moving but alot.

Watts-Brown is rated a top 50-100 prospect by many services. They apparently see something there they can develop and he does have 117 K's in 78 inn. But wow, not a good overall year for OKSt.

I saw the ESPN stat stating OU's BA is .214 vs pitchers throwing 70+. But just can't understand Weekly's reason in starting a freshman in this critical game. In her last outing vs Indiana gave up 3 runs on 3 hits in 2 inn. FML ! and OU !

Good reporting on the thread, 3putt ! Are you familiar with Sinton's Aidan Moody ? Looks like a winner. '24 grad, Perfect Game has him uncommitted.

Good Luck today to Tennessee players Zaida Puni and Mackenzie Donihoo (OU transfers) vs their former teammates and the coach that recruited over them. May they keep their emotions in check for an outstanding performance and Tennessee victory.

AAS article. MW comments on the future. Excertpts: Texas loses just one player — reserve outfielder Lou Gilbert — to graduation and will welcome back nine underclassmen Two freshmen should make a push for immediate playing time, based on their skill set and position. Kayden Henry is a consensus top 10 national player who can play in the outfield or infield. She batted .616 and had 32 stolen bases this past season for Dickinson, a Class 6A school south of Houston. She also stars in track and field for her high school, and White says her athleticism reminds him of Jefferson or Scott. "Kayden is an electric player,” he said. “She is truly dynamic on the field and will thrill Texas fans with her plays both offensively and defensively." Pitcher Teagan Kavan also could find an immediate niche on the pitching staff. All four Texas pitchers this season — Morgan, Gutierrez, Sophia Simpson and Estelle Czech — recorded an ERA of under 3.00, but the staff averaged only .79 strikeouts per inning. White would like a true strikeout pitcher to add some options to his staff, and Kavan fits that description. A 6-foot right-hander from Iowa, Kavan did not play high school ball but thrived at the elite club level, where she averaged almost two strikeouts an inning in her career. "Teagan is a future ace for this program with her excellent movement, speed and change of pace from the circle,” White said. “She has that rare combination of possessing all the necessary pitches in her arsenal to combat hitters at this level."

Professional response by Mike White - the way coaches at The University of Texas are supposed to respond. The fact that he trusted Citlaly to get to game 3 bodes well for the future. FROM HEAD COACH MIKE WHITE "First off, congratulations to the University of Tennessee for making it to the Women's College World Series for the first time in a little bit. It was a classy act out here all weekend. The fans were really good and conducted themselves in a good manner, which is something I believe needs to happen more around our sport because some places are getting a little rough to play especially for the student-athletes. The field was good; the umpires did a good job; everyone who helped run this weekend's action, it was very well ran. To my team, it's always tough to finish the year out, especially when we let ourselves down a little bit there with five errors and nine runs allowed. That's just a tough way to finish it, especially after how well Citlaly (Gutierrez) threw for us. You just aren't going to win too many games with only two hits. We have a lot of work to do, but I feel confident and proud of our team. We have a really good group of young women and we have a lot to build on and this season was just a start for us." FROM FRESHMAN CITLALY GUTIERREZ "We have to use this weekend as motivation for next season and just keep on building on what we have. We have a lot of young talent, so I think over the coming years, we are going to have something special." https://texassports.com/news/2023/5/27/no-8-8-softball-sees-season-end-in-super-regional.aspx “(Gottshall) spins it well, there’s not too much thrown across the plate,” White said. “I’m disappointed in our hitters. We’re better than that. It was just not our day.” The major miscue happened with the bases loaded. Guilia Koutsoyanopulos singled to right. The ball rolled past right fielder Ashton Maloney all the way to the wall. And an error on the relay throw allowed Koutsoyanopulos to score. “I’m not sure what went right in that inning,” White said. “We couldn’t make a play. There were players hanging their heads. You can never give up. We have a lot to talk about (in season-ending meetings). I never ever want to see the happen again.” Everything White will evaluate will come within the context of a young team earning its stripes. “We can use what just happened as motivation for the offseason,” White said. “We were right there at the end of last year. We had a big turnover in leadership. I believe that everything happens for a reason. This will turn out to be a great learning experience for us. There are positives to take away from this.” https://www.statesman.com/story/sports/college/longhorns/softball/2023/05/27/texas-softball-loses-to-tennessee-as-its-season-ends-in-knoxville/70263961007/

Mac pitched a very competitive game, albeit for 1 pitch. Hindsight always 20/20, 1B open, elected to pitch to Puni who has 4HRs in last 3 games. However, next batter (Gibson) has more HR's for the season than Puni. Tough call for MW. We can beat this team. Need more discipline on cutoff throws. Tenn very aggressive on basepath.

Dang, never heard of Davenport. Checked google, they are located in southern Comal Cty, FM3009. Looks like they may have talent from Smithson Valley, SA Johnson, and possibly Schertz Clemens. @F250 are you aware ?

Oregon @ OKSt, 8PM, ESPN2 Should be a good one. Oregon looked strong in taking down Arkansas in Fayetteville. Georgia currently leading Fl St 1-0 after 2.5, ESPN2.

Quotes from KXAN article. Vid below give a look at Ashley Rogers, Tenn ace, and nice views of the stadium/field. Milloy, mentioned in the article, is leadoff hitter. Tenn has 6 pitchers and uses them all, including Ryleigh White who transferred from Texas after her freshman year. Excerpts: Lady Vols outfielder Kiki Milloy, daughter of 15-year NFL veteran defensive back Lawyer Milloy, leads Division I with 25 home runs and a slugging percentage of 1.013, meaning she has more total bases (152) than at-bats (150) this season. She’s fourth in on-base percentage at .580 and has stolen 37 bases, 11th in Division I, so she impacts the game everywhere she goes. In the circle, Lady Vols pitcher Ashley Rogers is third in Division I with a 0.73 ERA in 124.1 innings this season. Both players have helped the Lady Vols to a 44-8 record this season, and if the Longhorns want to go on a run like last year’s — all the way to the championship series of the Women’s College World Series — they’ll have to take out one of the best teams in the country. “Tennessee is tough and athletic, and Kiki Milloy is special,” Longhorns head coach Mike White said. “We have to make sure we are pitching carefully and pick certain situations to go at her. Hopefully, we can get some runs and be able to challenge her a little bit, otherwise we’ll have to pitch around her a little bit.” NCAA softball super regionals: Texas Longhorns well aware of star power on Tennessee Lady Vols squad (kxan.com)

Didn't Alameda back out at the last minute, also Kenny G ? and likely others not known. Likely got raises to stay. Something was wrong other than facilities and possibly salary, also few proven coaches not wanting to move. No idea about player relations, but I think she is a good coach and due to the facilities and aggy support will be a challenge. That said, Valentine (former ASU commit from Phoenix) entered the portal. Pinch hit that 3 run HR which prevented the run rule.

Trisha Ford is going to be a problem - said with respect and hate equally divided. Noticed in the postgame team/coaches "high five" line there was no interaction (no words) between her and Mac.
