I was watching this game, then they switched over to Alabama. I hate when they do that. "Oh this game is won. We'll switch over to another game." I want to see the whole game. Don't care if it's a blow out.

On other games, that was really something how Meatchicken came back and beat ASU last night.

[Sooner95]

Game 1 vs Tenn is in a Rain Delay.

[BlackwellSooner]

We're up 2-0, bottom of the third coming up. Game supposed to resume at 9:45P. More rain in the forecast, can we get the game in?
I wasn't watching earlier when the game was being played, just how much rain was received in Norman to cause them to delay the game? Heavy downpour, moderate sprinkle, what?

[Sooner95]

Seems to have resumed?

B4 2-1 OU

[Sooner95]

T5 3-1 OU

[Sooner95]

BOOM!!

OU 8-1 B6!!

[Sooner95]

Win! 8-1

[Sooner95]

Need to take care of business and wrap it up with a win.

Top of the second, OU at bat, runner at 2nd, two outs... AND YET ANOTHER weather delay! Apparently rigid rules regarding mandating delaying a game anytime there is lightning strikes.

Game is supposed to resume at 5:25 CST today, hope that we can get on with it and BEAT THE VOLS!

[Soonerjeepman]

First...Blackwell, is that from the town? My parents grew up in Medford...anyways...
LOL, I was watching game tracker and saw it didn't switch a lot...guess I know why~

[BlackwellSooner]

Yeah, my wife and I live in Blackwell now.

I'm wondering what is going to happen when they decide to resume play? Will ESPN still be carrying it, or will they switch to ESPN2? Or will, like happened last night, television coverage just be scrapped?

I think they'll move it over to ESPNU, or ESPN3. Looks like there is are games scheduled on both ESPNU and ESPN2, so they may just do the same as last night. Should be available on ESPN3 though.

Looking at the radar, it doesn't look like they'll be restarting anytime soon. Now we gotta win, because if we have to play another game, it's going to be really, really late.

[8timechamps]

The radar looks clear, so we should be back to playing soon.

Since ESPN is showing the UCLA/Kentucky game on ESPN and ESPNU, I suspect the OU/Tennessee game will be resumed on ESPNU once they get underway.

[Sooner95]

Appreciate the updates

[Sooner95]

According to ESPN, it will resume at 930 est on ESPN2

ESPN2 just announced that when play resumes, it will be carried by ESPN2. Scheduled to start again at 8:30

[Sooner95]

Back on!

[Sooner95]

HR by Tenn..

1-0 T3

[Sooner95]

Just cant score tonight.

[Sooner95]

Leading Tenn 8-2 T7!

[Sooner95]

On to their 4th straight WCWS!! Face Alabama to open it.

Congrats ladies!

Congrats ladies!

yup...followed it on gametracker...looked like we waited to light it up today. 3 HRs in the bottom of the 6th to seal it.

[tulsaoilerfan]

Chamberlain hit a bomb off the scoreboard today; that was pretty impressive for a gal with one good leg

[8timechamps]

Today was a good game. Tennessee is a good team, they just didn't have the offense to beat our ladies. That's going to be a tall task for anyone in the WCWS. The first game (Alabama) will set the tone right out of the gate. The Tide have the better pitching, but the Sooners have the better lineup. If we can get the consistency from Stevens in the circle, that she's shown most of the year, I think we're going to be really hard to beat.

Whatever happens, hats off to Patty Gaso. She is the best coach in the game. I don't think many expected us to be back after losing the seniors we lost last season. 4 WCWS in row!

[hawaii 5-0]

Congrats to the Lady Sooners, going to the Women's College World Series again !!

5-0

[Sooner95]

Well, just to update.

Sooner Ladies knocked off La-Lafyette today 3-1. They now face #1seed Oregon in an elimination game tonight, winner facing Alabama for chance to got to Championship best of 3 games.

Good luck Ladies!!

[SoonerMarkVA]

Not Sooner related, but that UK/BU game. You just absolutely don't know if it's over until it's actually over. Incredible rally.

[Sooner95]

Indeed. Great comeback by Baylor.

[Sooner95]

Well the run ends with a 4-2 defeat by Oregon.

Great 4 yrs run by this team. I suspect we will be right there next year as well!

[tycat947]

Yes. They should probably be ranked in Top 3 next year as long as Chamberlain, Self, Williams come back injury free. I expect Kelsey to be improved and she should have some great help with Paige Parker. Shelby's sister, Nicole, broke the high school home run record too.

[8timechamps]

I certainly didn't expect to be back at the WCWS this year (given what we lost), but I agree with tycat, this team should be really strong next year. Chamberlain really never got back to 100%, and she'll have time to recover. Stevens was in a tough spot (filling some really big shoes), but she showed that she is capable of being a championship pitcher. The biggest loss will be Martinez, but I think we can overcome that.

It was a fun year, and I'm already looking forward to next season.
