Softball fans, rejoice. We are one week away from the start of the Women’s College World Series in Oklahoma City.
Before we get there, though, there is one final weekend where 16 teams will play for a shot to travel to Oklahoma City, and begin their road to a national title.
There were plenty of head-turning moments during the regional weekend, where five teams advanced to the supers despite not hosting a regional. Some of the biggest upsets include Stanford defeating Alabama in the Tuscaloosa Regional, which causes Alabama to miss the Super Regionals for the first time since 2005.
Another shocker was Mississippi State winning the Tallahassee Regional. Although Florida State entered the weekend as the no. 2 national seed, many believed that South Florida had a chance to upset the Seminoles and sneak their way into the supers.
After dropping their first game to South Florida on Friday, 4-0, Mississippi State got their revenge on the Bulls by defeating USF, 6-0 in an elimination game. Mississippi State turned around and defeated the Seminoles twice in order to rise as victors.
If super regional weekend is as crazy as the previous weekend, softball fans could be in for a treat this weekend.
