USA Softball won gold in the World Games over the weekend. 

Janae Jefferson was sizzling - led Team USA with a .615 average, chipping in 4 RBIs, including the game-tying RBI in the bottom of the 8th against Japan in the semifinals. 

Her entire box score from the tournament:

1-3, 2 RBI against Chinese Taipei (4-0)
2-3, RBI against The Netherlands (8-1)
0-1 against China (8-1)
4-5, RBI against Japan (7-6, 10)
1-1 against Chinese Taipei (5-0)

    Something that is underrated right now. Mike's call to have the runner steal second during the intentional walk. It would've been easy to just leave her at first...Reese is being walked anyway, what's

NCAA will seed the top 32 teams next year, as opposed to just the top 16

After multiple years of discussion, NCAA softball will follow the footsteps of Women’s Volleyball & Women’s Soccer, seeding 32 teams. This does not change the 16 national seeds, but should help reward the top seeds with ‘easier’ matchups.

The seeding will not be a straight 1-32 matchup to allow the NCAA to protect the 400-mile geographic proximity parameters when possible and prevent conference matchups in regionals. The seeding will use ‘buckets’. The 1-4 national seeds will face the 29-32 seeds in a certain order that allows the committee to still use the past parameters. If there are three SEC teams in the top four, and one SEC team in the 29-32 bucket, the SEC team will face the non-SEC host essentially.

The Buckets

National Seeds 1,2,3,4 – 29, 30, 31, 32
National Seeds 5, 6, 7, 8 – 25, 26, 27, 28
National Seeds 9, 10, 11, 12 – 21, 22, 23, 24
National Seeds 13, 14, 15, 16 – 17, 18, 19, 20

 

If done last year, Texas would have had a #2 seed like Virginia (#27) in their regional, instead of #31 (UCF).  #1 aggy would have had #32 Arizona State, instead of #26 Liberty

Not huge differences, tbh
