Whatever happens the next 2 or 3 days, I will not forget this 2022 Texas softball team. What a special, exhilarating and EXHAUSTING ride.
Started off beating a top-15 Clemson and then losing to FGCU
Dropped 5 straight games in Clearwater, which included that 7 error game against UCF, and looking like a team that would not even be in the tournament
The 6-run comeback against Minnesota
The 5 game winning streak against ULL and LSU, including the walkoff win over LSU where we were down 7-0 and 10-4
The win against #1 OU on Cat Day
The Baylor game 2 meltdown (14 run loss)
Mike flipping the bird in the Big 12 tournament in a loss to OSU
Dolcini's Superwoman Regional Performance in Seattle, with special guest Bella Dayton
Texas picking itself off the mat after a 6 run loss to Arkansas to win the next two, 3-1 and 3-0, featuring SOPHIA FREAKING SIMPSON shutting out the Hogs in game 3
Kicking UCLA's ass, then shaking off the loss to OU to run through Arizona, shutting out OSU and the fucking 6 unanswered runs to beat OSU again
The unlikely heroes of the postseason most of all: Dayton, Simpson, Day, Czech, Jefferson's power, the clutch Texas defense and the uncharacteristic Ok State defense
What a fucking ride this team put us on. And they're 2 wins from a title, a feat no Texas team, even those being dragged to OKC by Cat and Luna, could do.
