NCAA Super Regional Summary

Oregon booked its ticket to Oklahoma City by beating Liberty in back-to-back games. But it wasn’t easy. The first game was an intense 3-2 Ducks win that included some controversy over base-running by star Kai Luschar. It could have easily impacted the game enough to swing it the other way. But Oregon held serve and then blew out Liberty in the final game of the series.

The Ducks will meet UCLA in a meeting of teams from the West coast. UCLA took a series over South Carolina after falling in the first game 9-2. The Bruins bounced back for a come-from-behind 5-4 win on Saturday, then a 5-0 win on Sunday to advance.

Meanwhile, Texas secured a spot in the Women’s College World Series after a riveting round of action against Clemson. It took three games in Austin, and all three of them were close.

Clemson actually won the first of the three games 7-4 before Texas rallied behind the stellar arm of ace pitcher Teagan Kavan. Kavan helped lead the Longhorns to a 7-5 win and a 6-5 win to move on.

Texas will take on Florida, which advanced on Sunday after knocking off arch-rival Georgia in a winner-take-all game on Sunday. The Gators had stranded several base-runners through the first two contests, but a pair of two-run home runs midway through Game 3 did the trick against the Bulldogs.

Not the only team from the Lone Star State to advance, Texas Tech also secured a spot in the Women’s College World Series for the first time ever. Star pitcher NiJaree Canady was instrumental in that.

The Red Raiders got there by eliminating the Florida State Seminoles. It only took two games to do so, with a 3-0 win and a 2-1 win enough to do the trick. So who is the opponent?

That would be the Ole Miss Rebels, who dispatched the Arkansas Razorbacks in a meeting of SEC squads in the Super Regionals. After splitting the first two games, the Rebels took the rubber match 7-4 on Sunday to advance.

Finally, we’ll get a matchup between four-time defending national champion Oklahoma and Tennessee in the opening game of the Women’s College World Series. The champs cruised by Alabama, advancing with a 3-0 win and then a 13-2 shellacking.

Tennessee, meanwhile, had a much tougher test against Nebraska. The Cornhuskers took the opening game, then the Volunteers battled back to win 3-2 and 1-0. Pitcher Karlyn Pickens was the difference-maker, absolutely shutting the Nebraska lineup down from the circle.
