Day one of the Women’s College World Series featured a pair of impressive offensive performances from Tennessee and Florida State and a pitcher’s duel for the ages between Jordy Bahl and NiJaree Canady.
It was a fantastic opening day for the WCWS in Oklahoma City. The only negative takeaway was they weren’t able to finish each of the opening round matchups due to inclement weather.
On the bright side, moving Washington and Utah to Friday gave us another day with a three-game WCWS slate.
The Huskies and the Utes are each looking to punch their ticket to the winners’ bracket semifinals. The evening matchups give us our first elimination games in Oklahoma City.
Will Utah’s incredible postseason run continue? Can Oklahoma State and Stanford bounce back from being shutout on Thursday? Will Alabama be able to keep their game closer against Stanford than they were able to against Tennessee in the opener?
Here’s a look at Friday’s matchups and how to watch.
No. 7 Washington vs. No. 15 Utah – 12 pm CT on ESPN2
No. 5 Alabama vs. No. 9 Stanford – 6 pm CT on ESPN*
No. 6 Oklahoma State vs. Loser of Washington vs. Utah – 8:30 pm CT on ESPN*
