Mother fucker. 

[WBT 20653]

Soooo many LOB.

[Js1 85527]

Make it 12 LOB.  Whitaker slow AF and still almost beat it out. 

Just FRUSTRATING watching us stare at some really good pitches (except Burke, who is being aggressive).  That first pitch was Whitaker's to juice.

1 out double for OSU.  WInning run on 2nd with 1 out. 

[Js1 85527]

Single - runners on the corners, 1 out. 

[WBT 20653]

Holy shit!  Huge caught stealing.  I guess Okie State wanting to get that extra winning run into scoring position.

In all seriousness, what was the runner on 3rd doing?  That had to be a planned double steal.

[Js1 85527]

Extras!

[shadow_operative2.0 16019]

Hey, their defense pulled an us. 

[Js1 85527]

And then pulled a DP too. Bottom 9

[shadow_operative2.0 16019]

And fittingly our D fucks us yet again. 

[WBT 20653]

Well shit.  Walkoff K.

[Js1 85527]

Jesus Christ. We find new ways to lose.

After leaving 100 runners on base 

[Js1 85527]

We should host but we are going to get paired with like, UCLA or Bama or Florida. Yuck 

[torre 1286]

Super job by Shea  !

Can't let one loss become 2 or more,  not necessarily for B12 tourn but for Regional.    Rhodes and others need to relax - easier said than done.

[chase25 2048]

As someone who doesn’t watch softball much because of what I just watched. Is there seriously not any discussion at all about moving the base paths back a little?

Edited May 14, 2021 by chase25

[shadow_operative2.0 16019]

I've been begging for that for years. Hell, old man slo-pitch is even 65'. 

[Js1 85527]

Seriously. With the speed of players now, 60 is stupid 

[shadow_operative2.0 16019]

And move the fences back 20'. 

[chase25 2048]

I get softball isn’t supposed to be baseball, and I’m not advocating for that, part of what makes softball unique is that it’s the only women’s sport I believe that isn’t directly like it’s male counterpart. 
 

That being said I think we can all agree that there is something wrong when a runner on 1st can score STANDING UP on a simple drop 3rd strike throwing error down the line in which the RF was backing up the throw.

[Js1 85527]

The schools will kill any attempt bc it’ll cost money to redo fields and push out fences  and the NCAA won’t pay for it 

[Js1 85527]

Why is Shea pitching again after game 1??

Probably right, but there at least has to be a play at the plate IMO on a play like that. Just doing a disservice to the competition

And she was only even running because they couldn't PR for her again.

I don’t know much about any of the players except the names of several of the Texas players and I know who is good for Texas. Know nothing really about any players for other programs so if the girl on 1st for Okie State was slow and someone they would usually PR for... Man that makes it worse

[shadow_operative2.0 16019]

Doubt I’ll fire up ESPN+ for this one, but we’re winning. 

 

[LTtxfan 49331]

Texas base-running coach needs to find another job...

[shadow_operative2.0 16019]

Washington & Parker yacks, 7-1 in bot 6. 

[Js1 85527]

Our only hope is ISU beats OSU amd we win the pool on runs scored 🥴

[shadow_operative2.0 16019]

The dive into 2nd is funny. 

 

[Js1 85527]

Texas wins 7-4. Texas needs Iowa State to win AND OSU to only score 5 or less in the loss AND Iowa State to score 5 or less in the win. Something like 4-3 or 5-4 ISU win would push us to the champ game. 

Texas runs 7 + 2 = 9

OSU runs 3 + ?

ISU runs 4 + ?

Texas would have the H2H over ISU if they score 5 and win. 

But I think we’ll be in the 3rd place game tomorrow 

[shadow_operative2.0 16019]

So probably shouldn't have given up those last 3.

Nope. Didn’t finish well 😤

[Js1 85527]

Damn Mizzou lost to Gata 7-6 in the bottom of the 7th on an error by the SS. 

@Gatorubet

[Js1 85527]

The ISU and OSU game is in the top of the 5th. 1-1

[Js1 85527]

Wow! All-freshman Ochoa just robbed OSU of a 2-run HR over the fence! 

[Js1 85527]

Sami Williams for ISU goes yard a second time in this game! 2-1 ISU

[Js1 85527]

ESPN announcers just clarified the tie breaker is runs allowed, then runs scored if a tie still exists 

Texas - 7

OSU - 2 + (2) so far

ISU - 7 + 1 (so far)

ISU blew a 3-1 lead. 5-3 OSU top 7

[Js1 85527]

So close. OSU wins 6-5

Texas will play in the 3rd place game 

[Js1 85527]

 

[Js1 85527]

Texas down 2-0 to Tech after 2.5 innings. Another fabulous 3 LOB in 2 innings 

Looks like a day off for Rhodes

[Js1 85527]

This team is so good at being unclutch. Lead off walk and single. Didn’t move a single runner. 

[Js1 85527]

Sully solo HR. 2-1 Tech

[LTtxfan 49331]

Weak effort so far...  Day yuck

Texas falling apart... give up 3 runs in the 5th.  Sixth place Tech whipping Horns so far.

5-1

 

(Announcer says Texas might lose their chance to host regional if they lose)
