UCLA already mashing...2 illegal pitches against Florida lead to 3 run homer in the bottom of the 1st. I think we lost to the national champions, friends. No one's going to stop this offense.
Hawaii won a thriller with a 2 run homer in the top of the 7th to take down Mizzou 3-2.

Its about time they start calling illegal pitches on Florida's pitcher. Washington's pitcher does the same thing.
While I am not disputing that UCLA can be the national champions, there is a reason UCLA finished behind Washington in the PAC 10 race. Wait until you see what Danielle Lawrie does to a team's batting lineup.Quote:

Make that 3 illegal pitches in 1 at-bat. This is truly ruining this world series.
9 illegal pitches in 2 games + less than an inning. Go Wildcats! SEC BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
The only team in the WCWS with the ability to cool off UCLA's bats is Washington with Danielle Lawrie, she's not even human.Quote:

Not just run rule but 16-3, and broke the WCWS single game scoring record. Wow.
She looks pretty human right now.Quote:

Game 5 UCLA-the juggernaut continues
Game 6 Georgia-payback from the SEC tournament?
A little late in posting my predictions for games 7 & 8, but I had chosen Florida & Washington. Since the Gators are getting ready to play Georgia and Hawaii will play Arizona, I'll make my game 9 & 10 predictions now.
I think Georgia finds a way to get over the Gators. Neither one beats UCLA, but Georgia has a better chance.
I'm going to contradict the beginning of this thread and go with the Wahine over the Wildcats. And if they play like they did against Washington, Arizona will get run-ruled.
OK, so I was right the first time: Hawaii's only win was against Missouri.
Game 11 UCLA vs. Georgia-I'm going with UCLA. Their offense is still clicking better than Georgia's
Game 12 Tennessee vs. Arizona-Now this is more like the Arizona team I'm accustomed to seeing. They have their confidence back now that they've ended Lawrie's collegiate career. Can they beat Tennessee twice to set up an all PAC 10 championship? Of course they can. Will they? I don't think so.
UCLA vs. Tennessee for the title.
Tsk, tsk. I seem to only keep getting it half right. PAC 10 reasserts its dominance, the top 2 national programs show why they are the best in softball, UCLA vs. Arizona. Should be a great series.
SEC will have to wait another year to win their national title.Quote:

SEC's going to have to wait longer than that. There is a HUGE gap between the PAC 10 & the SEC. Arizona & UCLA were not expected to do this, despite the fact that they are clearly the top 2 programs in the country. Fowler for Arizona is a freshman & Macon for UCLA is a sophomore. They will be favored next year to be back in this same position until somebody drives the stakes in their hearts and keeps them out of the WCWS.Quote:

I agree; I honestly don't think the selection committee is trying to stack the deck in the SEC's favor. But I do think it's been pretty funny the last two years how it's worked out.Quote:

It certainly seemed like everything was done within its power to help advance as many SEC teams to the WCWS as possible.

OK, I'm going with UCLA for the title. I like the way they're hitting and I think they return to championship form.
The game last night was unreal. Got to have been one of the best WCWS games of all time.Quote:

If the center fielder would have mind her own business it would have been a diffenent story. Left fields play all the way. If you watched the game you know what I mean.......
arizona had the win, but missed a fly ball in left center...1 run lead, 2 outs bottom of 7th inning and left fielder got in the way of center fielder for fly ball...very bad mis-communication to blow the win.
