After that play down the first base line, Coach Saban may want to check on Cassie Reilly Boccia's football eligibiilty.

CPM rolls the dice on a pitch hitter.  I haven't watched enough softball this year to see if this has worked -- hasn't worked in the series.  Girl's first bat in 6 weeks?  That's a bit desperate.

I use to be able to tell, easily, when I played outfield in baseball.  But after a few decades away from the game, I filled in on a championship mens softball team (in Tuscaloosa) and I had a much harder time telling how far that softball was going.

I clicked on the link, this ESPN3 feed is faster than my DirectTV HD feed, though the picture isn't nearly as good.

NICE HIT TRAINA!!  Another run scores.  5-3.

But I guess you already saw that.

OU gets two on base (Ricketts hit by pitch), then the Northport girl catches a long fly ball near the wall for the third out.  RTR!

I think Hoke was a good hire for Michigan, and they are up and coming.  Sept. 1 may return them to reality a bit, but they will be a decent team in the Big10 this year, and give Hoke time to get his own recruits (Rich Rod apparently only recruited offensive players for his spread) and they will be better in future years.

THERE is a great defensive play in the rain. 

Oh, never mind, it's Bama in the field.

For WV, OU has two outs with one on first base on a walk and Ricketts at bat.

Yeah, these announcers are so pro-OU that they might as well be umpires.

I think the OK coach sent the wrong message to her players trying to delay play.  Maybe she saw Ricketts was rattled, but all she really accomplished was getting the Tide fired up!

CPM is outcoaching her.

4-3!!!  Bama leads!!!

TIE GAME!!!   

NOW it's 3-2.  RTR!

They coming back?  Bama players are fired up.  OK players are huddling under cover.
