Last Friday, the women’s sports organization announced a doubleheader showdown during August’s Little League Softball World Series in order to promote the sport’s whole ecosystem.

Yesterday’s Women’s College World Series (WCWS) opening day brought plenty of drama to the diamond, complete with a pitchers’ duel, another broken attendance record, and, unfortunately, a multitude of weather delays.

After the eight best-of-three series wrap by Sunday, the winners have a few short days to pack their bags for the peak of the softball season: the Women’s College World Series in Norman, OK.

Today’s the calm before tomorrow’s Super Regional softball storm, but baseball’s conference tourneys are already raging.

There was a bloodbath on the diamond — 64 teams entered the natty, but only 16 survived the weekend.

Sixty-four teams, 16 regionals, and a potential 112 games packed into three days — softball’s natty tournament is here!

With conference tourney crowns awarded and the NCAA bracket booked, 64 Division I teams now know their path to June’s Women’s College World Series.

Almost all conferences wrap up their tournaments tomorrow, which means yesterday’s quarter-finals chaos gives way to today’s semifinals madness.

It’s tournament week for a whopping 30 Division I (DI) conferences, and you know what that means: The eight-team Women’s College World Series is only 22 days (and 56 dashed dreams) away.

Even though Big 12 powerhouse No. 1 Oklahoma is the sport’s most dominant team, the SEC is where the most competitive softball is glittering these days.

Over the weekend, several teams choked on diamond dust with little or no time to bounce their seasons back.

With the college softball regular season winding down, teams have one last anxiety-inducing chance to jockey for conference tournament seeding.
