Bulletin board material. USC has already penciled themselves into the super regional against a team TBA.

Tell me you got a screenshot. It's down.

Another run in the 5th, and Hofstra has closed it to 3-2.

It's still there on their schedule but it's not a big deal. Just giving the date and place for the super Regional in the event they make it. They also have the WCWS on there. I''ve seen other teams do it.

South Carolina tomorrow at 4pm.

So how did we end up being the home team in today's game? Thought the higher seed got that.

If it’s like baseball, they rotate whoever hasn’t been a home team to keep it as equal as possible.

SC hits walk off 2 run homer for win. The Hofstra pitcher was too hyped up with 2 outs and walked tying run on base. Then gave up 2 run homer. Coach came out to calm her down before homer, but did not succeed . Tough loss for Hofstra.

Lu plays South Carolina AT South Carolina? That’s so not fair

Lu plays South Carolina AT South Carolina? That’s so not fair

Twice(maybe three times) in two days.

I am really thankful we are on the winners side of the bracket. They've played three games to our two this weekend.

[LUDad]

Those SC players seem llike they are swinging for the fences every at bat. I think that works into DiMartino's hands but I can see why they hit so many homes this season.

Interesting stat. South Carolina has lost 3 games at home this year. Two of those three have been by BS schools (Liberty & Campbell).

[Cider Jim]

As far as level of competition, was beating South Carolina bigger than beating Baylor in football?

[ballcoach15]

SC does swing for fence on every pitch, except when bunting or slapping. Which isn't often.

[Class of 20Something]

As far as level of competition, was beating South Carolina bigger than beating Baylor in football?

I think football was the larger upset as there was greater disparity between the two. We are a top 30 team beating a top 10 team in softball. Baylor is a top 50 team that got beat by a 120's team.

[LUDad]

Just a thought but If, if, if, everything were to fall into place, does LU have an opportunity to host a Super Regional?

If 3rd seeded Old Miss in the Tempe Regional were to beat No. 8 National Seed Arizona State twice today and 3nd seeded LU were to beat USC today, two 3-seeded regional winners will be pared against each other in the Super Regional. Who would host? Would the NCAA bid-out the regional?

[ballcoach15]

I think Ole Miss would host because they would have beat 8 seed and us a 9 seed, overall.

I was told by one of LU players that some behind the scene deals are taking place to try to get Atlantic Sun tournament at LU in 2019.

The Columbia newspaper had one sentence on yesterday's LU win this morning.

[Sly Fox]

In baseball, the NCAA does bid out the Super-Regionals. But as long as both bids are reasonable, they higher seed usually is granted the host status. I would assume the same goes for softball. But I have been wrong plenty of times before.

[CCWMichael]

Wow ... One more win.
How impressive to this point.

[olldflame]

Just to clarify how dramatic SC's win over Hofstra was, they were DOWN 4-3 and one out away from elimination with a runner on first and 2 outs when they hit the game-winning HR. Same girl Julia struck out to end the game when we played them.

[LUDad]

I have seen in a number of places that the top 8 "National Seeds" are guaranted to host a Super Regional shoud they advance from the regional. Seems to me that this implies that should number 8 National Seed Arizona not win, the process could open up for bidding.

I just knew they were going to hit a three run homer against us to win. That’s the Liberty way.

Glad I was wrong.

[ballcoach15]

I hope everyone isn't as nervous about today's game as I am. The pressure is building within me.

[JK37]

Have to put in bid to host a super regional. LU did not submit a bid.

[JK37]

Weather moving into Columbia area. 85% chance of rain at 5:00pm. Could delay start if arrives sooner.

[ballcoach15]

Raining now. I believe there is NCAA rule that says regional tournaments must be completed NLT 11:00 on Sunday.

Game gets rained out, we are regional champions.

The forecast has the thunderstorms ending around 8pm. Say the game starts around 8:30-9 and they get a game in and the series ends in a tie, who advances?
