The last time Texas had to beat a team twice in the same day in the WCWS semifinals, magic happened...

Let’s go, ladies! 🤘

[Buck Travis]

If we can push out of the hitting slumps we'll have a reasonable shot at playing on Wednesday.

Objectively, I think it will be Tennessee and Alabama.

But...what if it's a Texas and Tech rematch.

[CJ Vogel]

Let's see what we get today. Texas has been very solid with their backs against the wall in the postseason.

Knocking on wood as I type.

The saying in baseball and softball is you don't hit home runs they are thrown. If Reese and Katie can catch up to Pickens(if she's pitching) that ball will get to Mars before Elon😂

[Dread-headed Texan]

Off to a good start

[Jedi Master Bevo]

Need Atwood and Goode to break out today. They've struggled since they got their gold tickets for pro draft. Need both to get big hits to win twice today

[Hank South]

Stand in and hit the ball with 2 outs

[Jedi Master Bevo]

Softball umpires better hope they never bring in ABS system.  Lots of Indeed profiles will be getting updated 

[Dread-headed Texan]

😂 come on Nichols the only drink I plan to have this early is Sprite don't make me a liar

[Dread-headed Texan]

Yeah that Sprite is looking like it ain't gonna do it

[akhookem]

Geez man 2 easy outs, spoon feeding them

One more error and I’m clocking out to go grab a tall boy

[Dread-headed Texan]

Needed that

[Buck Travis]

Citlaly is our only fresh player on the field. She might have to carry the load.

[akhookem]

HUGE, tall boy has been delayed temporarily

[Jedi Master Bevo]

Nice make up for it Nichols.

[Dread-headed Texan]

Way to have her back and get Gutti out of it

[Buck Travis]

Nice. Gotta have some balls go our way to win.
