It's a moot point now, but considering our 2nd place finish in the big 10, I was wondering why we're not hosting this round? 47-9 doesn't get you home field in the Super Regionals? But South Carolina 39-14 does afford them home field?
After getting shelled (Terry) and having her shortest ever start, I thought maybe this team isn't that good. But I knew they'd show up eventually.
The weather looks like they might not start on time, but they should have enough decent weather to get the game in. Barring lightning!
And the men's team looks really good also. I tried to see where Cholowsky would be ranked for the upcoming draft. He looks like a really good prospect. His push bunt double yesterday was really something!
Thanks for the article. I've been looking to see if TMB would cover the softball and baseball postseason.
Because of SECSPN. South Carolina finished seventh in their conference, but still receive the number eight seed. Preseason polls had tons of SEC teams in the top 10 so then even when those teams lose it is still a “quality loss.” It is complete and utter b.s., has been going on in football for two decades. Now it is bleeding into other sports that the PAC 10/12 were traditionally good at but SECSPN has now helped SECSPN dominate, sports like softball and baseball and gymnastics. Regarding baseball, look at how many SECSPN teams are predicted to host in the regional round of the CWS tournament. A team that came in 10th in the SECSPN (Florida) could host over UCLA if baseball loses today vs. Nebraska (down 5-0 in Omaha with 20K red shirts rooting against us at present). This will look like a “bad loss” because Nebraska is not great but they certainly are formidable when they’re in front of the huge stadium with 20,000 fans and UCLA typically plays before less than 1,000. Rant over.
They were an out away from elimination but then in a demoralizing fashion for South Carolina UCLA took it. Today, it was an academic win. After yesterdays walk off HR it was over!
Baseball wilting in a seas of Husker red. 0-5 in the 7th. Why did we join this conference again? Seems a little unfair that the #8 seed gets a “home game” in a 25,000 seat stadium full of Nebraska fans. UCLA not doing itself any favors though. O’fer with RISP and the at-bats were poor.
You have to tip your hat to the Nebraska pitcher. He allowed six runs in four innings versus UCLA back in March in an 11-3 loss. Today he has three hit UCLA through 7 innings. Game of his career.

💯 agree with this rant

UCLA up 1-0 after scoring in the first inning. It's now the top of the third inning.
End of the fourth, and it's still 1-0.
The announcers are awful. From the blown HR call yesterday, to this obstruction call just now, it’s amateur hour.
So bad.
Right?! I agree. I’m glad that it didn’t matter with a single right after.

Was it me or was the ump super inconsistent in this softball game?
Did UCLA baseball forget about protecting the plate with two outs? So many backwards Ks today.
5-0 and UCLA Softball is going to the World Series! So excited for this great team! Go Bruins!!!! 💙💛💙💛
Congratulations to the women! Karma. This series should have been in Westwood …
Los Angeles Regional announced!
