Hopefully, Arky was able to have a good seat today to watch our game.

After missing on their top choices, I wouldn't be surprised if Deifel is now the next target for aggy. 

Listening to Beth Mowins call today's blOU softball game is like nails on a chalkboard... just a fuckin' beating.

Just turned down the sound for my sanity...

What a fkn game! I was wanting that run rule so bad. If they keep playing like that they got a shot to win this whole damn thing. 

  The view from our seats and the great Cat!

Didn't realize Deifel played catcher at Cal.  She played on a National Championship team in 2002.

Agreed.  Just let Mendoza call the games with the other announcer and send Mowins back to her hotel room...  😋

Making Their Case: Former Stars Offer Analysis, Advice for WCWS Teams

By  Rhiannon Potkey - May 31, 2022

Behind all eight teams competing in the Women’s College World Series in Oklahoma City are former players cheering their every move. They know what it’s like to be in that environment and what it takes to be successful on the sport’s biggest stage.

The formula will vary for each team to have a shot at winning. Some have been favored all season and others are underdogs getting hot at the right time.

I contacted famous alumnae from each program to provide some analysis and advice for their alma maters. The prevailing themes from each – soak in the atmosphere, compete and have fun.

Cat Osterman, Texas All-American pitcher 2002-03, 2005-06

What makes Texas a contender? They have two “why’s” that run deeper than anyone can prepare for.

The greatest hitter Texas has ever seen was staring at the end of her career, without a trip to Oklahoma City. Add fifth-year transfer Hailey Dolcini, who wanted a shot at getting to the promised land, and you have a why that propelled Texas to this point. Let’s not forget about Mary Iakopo and Lauren Burke, who followed Mike White from Oregon with the intention of helping him build Texas up. If the trip to Arkansas demonstrated anything, it was that this team will rally together to do whatever it takes

I’m sure the players are tired of hearing about it, but their second “why” is to prove that the St. Pete Clearwater Elite Invitational performance wasn’t who they are. Their mission was to re-brand themselves, and that they did. They’ve fought back from large deficits, swept teams unexpectedly, and even got the first W against OU. They persevered through adversity with grit and a tenacity that was absent the first two weeks. While the team moved on from that week in Florida, the world did not – until now. They’re playing to show who Texas Softball is.

Texas may be as complete of a team as the program has ever seen. The Longhorns can leave the yard, but they don’t rely on it. They rank first in the NCAA with 109 doubles, and will pile them on before you know it. And if they only reach first, watch them run. It’s been eight years since the Longhorns have utilized the run game as much as they have this season.

You could name each person in the lineup – offensively, defensively and in the circle – and find a time they were key to a Texas victory. Every single athlete has stepped up in big moments. The fact each athlete can look back on the last 53 games and find a moment that their success propelled the team is game changing.

It’s no secret, Janae Jefferson has perpetually willed Texas to Oklahoma City in her last season. Key defensive plays, followed by timely offensive output were the turning points in games 2 and 3 versus Arkansas. When Janae goes, Texas goes. Her legacy is cemented, but she has one last week to add to it. Dolcini has carried Texas on her right arm and she won’t stop now. She’s matured in the circle and continues to be the emotional catalyst. She’s the piece Texas needed.

Iakopo has power. Burke’s experience has paid off in the postseason. Alyssa Washington’s emergence at shortstop not only shored up the defense, but she’s silently been an impactful offensive weapon. Mia Scott can single-handedly confuse defenses. I could go on and on. But Texas has all the pieces, and right now, at the right time, they are together.

Does NW not have another pitcher?

Not really no 

Well, it looks like we are going to get our shot at OU. Just as well, we were going to have to beat them at some point anyway. Hopefully we can play D, score a few runs and keep their hits in the field of play.

And if we lose, at least we’ll get sent to the weaker bracket to try to climb back out of

I was curious to see how OU would respond to Williams change up, in case Sophia has to pitch some on Saturday. It appears those girls have no issues hitting that particular pitch either.

Hopefully OSU gets sent into the opposite bracket.

Best case scenario: Texas wins Saturday, OSU wins tonight and Saturday. OU drops into OSU’s bracket and Texas stays away from both the rest of bracket play

Second best: Texas loses Saturday, OSU wins tonight and loses Saturday. We and OSU flip brackets and Texas further avoids the Okie schools in bracket play

Edited by Js1

Now I don’t want to take too much from this victory but I did call for hits and we got a lot. I’m just saying….I’m just saying golf..now this, lets go! Hook em!

Dolcini held OU to 4 earned runs in two complete games against OU. 

If there's one pitcher that might be able to slow down this lineup it's her.

That’s a lot of people who got to witness piggy tears!

Fuckin' strap hanging down is not HBP...

Dumb rule...

That definitely hit her but come on. Leaning over the plate with the strap hanging down. 

It wasn't even that far off the plate.  

 

I'm tired of all this extraneous stuff being "part of the player." That signal card hanging 2" off the arm shouldn't really help you get a HBP.

By the same token, 4" laces hanging off gloves shouldn't let you make a tag, either.

Hopefully OU gets this out of their system

Yeah, that's awful. That was close to being a strike. 

This OU pitcher seems like a fairly crazy diva. Hope we face her. 

Bahl doesn't look 100% yet. 

OU is gonna have to ride Trautwein. She only pitched 2.2 innings against us in Austin. So a little bit different feel than from earlier in the season when they had Bahl.
