We were 9-1 against teams in the top 10 RPI and that 1 loss was to Florida. Absolutely ridiculous. ESPN talked as it we might be a 2 seed if we had beaten Florida. We will play at home throughout(assuming we win), but our 1st game in OKC will be against the 1 seed OU. It will be a must win, because once you are in the losers bracket, it is a tough row to hoe. We will be in better shape than in years past since we have more pitching, but it is really hard to win it all if you lose the 1st game. And supposedly conference tournaments have no bearing on seeding.
And BTW, Amanda Lorenz should have never been up to bat in the 1st place. The ump called ball 4 of an obvious strike on the batter before who became the winning run. Had it been called, we were out of the inning with no runs scoring and probably go on to win. It was either a great or lucky hit by Lorenz depending on your point of view. She hit a ball 3 inches off the outside of the plate on the end of the bat and it landed fair by 2 inches. 99% of the time that ends up as a foul ball. She is one heck of a hitter.
