after watching that Geogia fan on TV, giving the horns-down, i knew we were going to win this game

Big time fight to comeback and win that after losing the lead late in the game. 

timely hitting from Vivi too, that’s a big win.

I believe it would be Mike White’s first conference tournament championship as a head coach if his team wins tomorrow.

Atwood hit the ball extremely hard at all her at bats.

Yep - if Texas wins tomorrow, it will be Mike White’s first conference tournament championship as a head coach.

Oregon never had a Pac‑12 softball tournament during his tenure, so he literally had zero chances to win one there. So this would be his first.

Honestly, I just hope Earleywine didn’t tinker with her too much this year. Atwood’s swing looks different - not necessarily better -- and the results show it. Even when she barrels balls up like she did vs Georgia, the overall mechanics still look off.

Her batting has been inconsistent since getting hit in face in the tournament at Sanford.

I assume Teagan is not available for much more than a close if needed.

There's something very sweet about a walk-off win against Georgia.

Also - we are peaking at the right time, kudos to coaching staff AND players.

My guess is he'll go with one of the other pitchers and bring Kavan in if needed.  The softball throwing motion allows repeated use, though the arm does get tired, it's not like baseball where you need multiple days rest to be effective.

Right but she has thrown for two days each around a 100. She has a little left in the tank, maybe 2 innings. I think last year we saw the Tech gal throw so much in the playoffs  she did finally play out against us.

I would agree with this.

So instead she throws a complete game. Going to need that stamina as we move forward .
