I just had a nice long chat with the mother of Brittney Barger, ND's pitcher. She could not say enough nice things about Ann Arbor, the fans, and the facilities. She had a great time, despite being sad that their season is over.

3-1 now in the 4th.

Tincher probably went off on her team WWE style in the lockerroom during the break.

2-1 VT. Two run homer for the Hokies just two pitches after play resumed after the rain delay.

Tennessee wins the first game 7-1. They are also up 1-0 in the 2nd inning of game two.

Wow. Angela Tincher got roughed up today, giving up four runs and three walks in just 1.1 innings of work.

Tennessee is leading Virginia Tech, 5-0, in the 5th inning.

We are the champion! Dorian Shaw's sixth inning grand slam ensured victory for the Wolverines, as Michigan took down Kent State, 5-0.

hater, how is that Tennessee regional looking? I think I would rather play the Vols than deal with VTs pitcher.

It's pretty much gone as expected, with Tennessee and Virginia Tech meeting in the regional final today. In the two teams' first meeting, one pitch made the difference as Hokie Caroline Stoll jacked a grand slam in an otherwise scoreless ball game. It's nearly impossible to get to Tincher, as she hasn't allowed a run in four games. She has also combined for 33 strikeouts in the two games that the Hokies have played, including 19 of which against Louisville in their first game.

I'd MUCH rather get Tennessee, but the Vols would have to win two today in order to do so. AND, of course, we have to take care of Kent State today.

Rocky Top!

Wow, looking at the play by play, that ND/KS match-up was a really good game. I'm sorry I didn't come back to the stadium for the later games. Both teams matched or went up a score each time the other scored in an inning.

I wish the format was set up to have the next game start 20-30 minutes after the last instead of specific start times. There was at least an hour gap after Michigan/Notre Dame until Wright State/Kent State. It's a long time to have home fans sitting around for a game they may not be invested in.

In the opposing S.R. side of the bracket, Virginia Tech is on the winner's side, and Tennessee is on the loser's. They play at 1:30.

... I was surprised to see them lose badly in the opener against Notre Dame.

As in the game with Michigan, it only takes one bad inning in College Softball to be eliminated. Hope the Wolverines can use this lesson as they continue on in the Tournament.

Kent State beats Wright State 3-2.

Notre Dame plays Kent State in a few to deterine who plays Michigan tomorrow. Kent State dominated the MAC, I was surprised to see them lose badly in the opener against Notre Dame.

Nice to see them get back on track after a scare yesterday.

So each of the three games played in the Ann Arbor Regional thus far have been won by run rule victories.
