I watched my Dad play Fast pitch. They had a Pitcher Dave McCain was so good I tried to catch his riseball. On the chops. He did beat the number one team in the country 1-0. High level softball at Normzndale and Farrugat in Portland. He was Adventist so He could not pitch after sunset so they had to carry an extra pitcher. I agree with You in that pitch count is not relevant in Softball. Northwestern pitcher threw 400 plus pitches against ASU who could hit well. My dad played on an All-Star team that played against the King and His Court. Eddie Feigner was something to see. Would strike guys out from 2nd base. Could also strike you out blind-folded or throw pitches behind his back. Threw the equivalent of 110 MPH+ from the softball mound distance. My Dad's team was just happy that they scored a run against his 4 person team. Pitcher, catcher, SS and 1B were all the players they needed. For goodness sake guys, take it to the Men's fastpitch softball board. Or at least start a new thread about men's softball instead of hijacking this one about our WCWS team.  Thank you and GO BEAVS!! |

No idea about several teams. But I watched FL destroy VT (45-9 / #3 overall seed) after getting shut out in a rain delayed G1, 7-2, 12-0. I've never seen as athletic, fast group of SB players as FL. I think OSU has seen better pitching in Pac9 play, but not the speed and athleticism of FL. And, if they lose, facing Zona or OkSt would be another huge challenge. But, the women weren't supposed to get this far, so it's all "gravy". |

But, the women weren't supposed to get this far, so it's all "gravy". OSU took the conference series vs UA 2-1. Florida went 13-11 in conference and lost their series with Tennessee 1-2 (who we beat 2-1 in Regionals). Lost their series to Alabama, who lost to Stanford in Regionals (who lost to us in Supers). Not to say that any of the above computes to an OSU win. But it's certainly encouraging. |

Guess there is no point for them to even go to Oklahoma, at least based on all these "experts" picking the games. lol If you do notice that there are 2 "experts" from the newspaper in Oklahoma and 1 each from the papers in Knoxville(TENN), Gainsville(FL), Tuscaloosa(AL) and SW Times (ARK). Of course it would be almost exclusively SEC/BIG 12 teams picked to win |

Dix, NJ going through basic training. 1984. What a show and great skills. |
