Just tuning in...Bruins up 3-1 in the top of the 4th. Slimp and Grant went back to back HR in the 3rd for our 3 runs. GO BRUINS!

If we win this series with Alabama, I will state with great enthusiasm that we were undrer-rated in the WCWS! πŸ’™πŸ’›πŸ’™πŸ’›

Well, that wasn't good 😞

Alabama gets a 2 run homer in the bottom of the 5th to tie the game. They also got runners to 2nd and 3rd but hit a hard liner at Slimp in LF for the 3rd out.

3-3 going into the 6th

Ugh, Tinsley gives up an infield hit and a bloop down the line followed by a 3 run HR in the bottom of the 6th.

Bruins down now 6-3.

I think it might be game over (soon). But hoping for a miracle.

Damn, this is where we need pitching depth, our achilles heal 😞

Yup. Tinsley is good but she can only do so much, and as the only arm she'll wear down and opponents will get lots of looks at her. We lost two great arms to the portal at the end of last year and didn't get replacements. We're very likely gonna squander what may be the greatest offense in college softball history.

Yes, I was too excited when we were up 3-1. If we go to the losers bracket, Tins will for sure wear out.

Not sure why those players left, we could have won the Nattie if they had stayed.

Tough match - even when we were up I felt it was going to be tough. Tinsley is a battler, but pitching depth is a huge issue for us at this level. So happy to see Grant hit 41 though! Not sure why we lost KT, but Texas Tech has bags of money (and the speed of her declaration and commitment made me question tampering).

College sports is a greedy, out of control business.

Our lady bruins basketball team is an exceptional exception. So rare.

And that's the game πŸ’”

Our Bruins get a runner on via HBP but nothing else in the top of the 7th and lose the opener 6-3. The BSPN announcers are overjoyed.

They fall into the consolation bracket tomorrow against the loser of Arkansas-Nebraska
