After watching first few games, I think Liberty was as good as anyone there, except Oklahoma, Tennessee and FSU. With the way the bracket is this year, the loss to SD state still hurts. We were in a bracket that was winnable to make it to Oklahoma City. I'll always think only scoring 2 runs on 5 straight hits in first inning, doomed us.

We didn't have any depth in the circle. That is what doomed us. Proud of the girls though.

And Oklahoma is WAAAY better than anyone else.

There's a chance that OU becomes the first team ever to lead Division I in runs per game, ERA and fielding percentage in the same season. Whaaaaaat?!

The Sooners rank first in batting average (.372), scoring (8.39 runs per game), home runs per game (1.96) and slugging percentage (.683). They have five different players with at least 10 home runs and 45 RBIs.

Maybe FSU came take them. MAYBE. But I doubt it.

.96

Liberty’s, by the way, a very respectable 2.38, good for #31 nationally.

Good thing they don't have a pitch clock in softball. The pitcher from Oklahoma (Bahl), has a windup that last about 30 seconds. She is great, but unwatchable.
That pitcher from Stanford is really something. Would love to see someone like her on the mountain.
