Watch: Diamondbacks’ Jake Lamb goes nuts celebrating brother’s CWS berth

Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Jake Lamb went nuts celebrating his brother’s berth into the College World Series.

On Sunday, the Washington Huskies beat Cal State Fullerton 6-5 in the 10th inning to win their super regional and advance to their first College World Series in program history. Lamb played at Washington from 2010-2012 before being drafted by the Diamondbacks. His brother Dylan is a freshman reliever for the Huskies.

Watching his alma mater — and brother’s team — clinch the berth had Lamb stoked:

Washington has impressively placed both their baseball and softball teams into the college world series this year, so it’s been a big spring for Huskies athletics.

After an undefeated performance in the Oxford Regional Tournament, Ole Miss Softball has clinched its first-ever NCAA Super Regional trip. The Rebels are set to take on the UCLA Bruins in Los Angeles tonight, Thursday, May 25 – Saturday, May 27 in a three game series to determine which team will advance to the Women’s College World Series.

Ole Miss (43-18) faced the third-toughest regional, one of only two regional host sites to welcome three Power Five schools for regional action.

In the NCAA Tournament thus far, the Rebels are batting at a .368 clip and slugging .566 with eight extra-base hits and 16 RBI. Four players are at least a .500 average, led by Elantra Cox’s .889 clip.

Ole Miss is led in the circle, by junior Kaitlin Lee who’s thrown every pitch of the postseason (47 IP). Lee is 7-0 with a 0.74 ERA and .182 BAA dating back to the start of the SEC Tournament. Last weekend, Lee allowed only two runs, 12 hits, and struck out 11 with two complete game shutouts.

The no. 5 ranked Bruins won their Regional Championship by defeating Lehigh 8-0, San Jose State 10-2, and Cal State-Fullerton 9-1. The no. 12 seeded Rebels were also undefeated in their Regional Championship, beating Southern Illinois 8-0, Arizona State 2-0, and UNC 7-2.

The road to the Women’s College World Series began with 64 teams – 32 of which received automatic qualification and 32 selected at-large. After the four-team, double elimination Regional Championships, 16 teams remained. Of those teams that qualified for a Super Regional trip, only eight will advance to the Women’s College World Series.

The Rebels have had a historic season so far, claiming the SEC Championship title, Regional Championship title, and qualifying for Super Regionals all for the first time in program history. The 2017 team is currently 43-18 and two wins away from their first-ever Women’s College World Series bracket.

Games are scheduled as follows: Thursday, May 25 – 8:00 PM on ESPN Friday, May 26 – 8:00 PM on ESPN or ESPN2 Saturday, May 27 – 6:00 PM on ESPN

NCAA softball tournament 2017: Bracket, schedule, and scores

Minnesota has plenty to prove after a spellbinding 54-3 season failed to earn the team a national seed.

The NCAA softball tournament super regionals begin on Thursday, starting with 16 teams and whittling that down to eight teams by Sunday night. Teams play a best-of-three series this round before returning to double-elimination in the Women’s College World Series (the final two teams then play a best-of-three series for the title).

There were no upsets in the regional round so the top 16 seeded teams are all playing this weekend, leaving the Minnesota Golden Gophers, perhaps the most dominating team this season, back home.

The No. 1 overall seed Florida Gators open super regional play against the No. 16 Alabama Crimson Tide at 7 p.m. ET Thursday night before No. 5 UCLA and No. 12 Ole Miss open their series. The rest of the round gets underway on Friday.

Here are the super regional matchups and complete schedule. The full 64-team bracket can be found here.

NCAA softball tournament 2017 scores: Baylor no-hitter caps off regional round

If there was a theme on Sunday in the NCAA softball tournament, it was that of the regional hosts proving inhospitable to their guests. Fourteen of 16 hosts won their four-team regions on Sunday, and among the close-out games was a no-hitter by Baylor.

A look back at the final out as Gia Rodoni's NO-NO lifts @BaylorSoftball to the Super Regional! #NCAASoftball http://pic.twitter.com/dVbcYL1wuk

— NCAA Softball (@NCAAsoftball) May 21, 2017

It wasn’t just any no-hitter for No. 15 Baylor. It was the second in a row for Gia Rodoni, who also blanked Kent State on Friday. Both were 1-0 wins for Baylor, who went undefeated in three games in the Waco regional, played in their home park.

In addition to the no-hitter by Baylor, there were two on-hitters on Sunday. Top-seeded Florida won the Gainesville region with a 5-0 win over Oklahoma State, and No. 3 Oregon advanced with a 9-0, one-hit victory over Wisconsin in Eugene.

There was offense, too, on Sunday, highlighted by another host team, Oklahoma, forcing a seventh game in the Norman regional with a 6-4 victory over previously undefeated Tulsa, thanks to this two-run, walk-off home run by third baseman Sydney Romero.

NCAA softball tournament 2017: Bracket, schedule, scores, highlights, and news

Minnesota has plenty to prove after a spellbinding 54-3 season failed to earn them a national seed.

The Minnesota Golden Gophers had an amazing 2017 NCAA softball season. The Big Ten stalwarts finished the year with a ridiculous 54-3 record, earning the top spot in the final Coaches’ Poll of the regular season. Behind the scorching bat of catcher Kendyl Lindaman (.438 average, 20 home runs) and shutdown pitching of Sara Groenewegen (30-2, 0.59 ERA, 280 strikeouts), the northern school put together one of the most compelling campaigns Division I softball has ever seen.

And yet, despite all this, the Selection Committee failed to find them worthy of one of the 16 hosting gigs at this year’s NCAA softball tournament.

Minnesota had to settle for a No. 2 seed at this year’s regionals, which will ship the team to Alabama rather than a well-deserved home series in the Twin Cities. The Golden Gophers’ lack of quality opponents in the Big Ten was enough of a reason for the committee to exclude them from a coveted national seed. UM was only 2-2 against RPI top 25 teams this spring, which appears to be the only reason for its shocking seeding.

Teams from the Southeastern Conference didn’t have the same problem. All 13 SEC programs (Vanderbilt doesn’t carry the sport) qualified for this year’s field of 64. Eight of those teams — Florida, Auburn, Tennessee, Texas A&M, Ole Miss, LSU, Kentucky, and Bama — will host regionals this weekend. The Gators are the No. 1 overall seed after winning their third straight regular season title and following that up with a win in the conference tournament last weekend.

The Golden Gophers can correct the selection committee’s mistake by rolling through Tuscaloosa and then dispatching their Super Regional opponent — likely Florida -- en route to the Women’s College World Series. Here’s how that works.

The 64 teams are split up into 16 different regionals, played at the home site of the top team in each region. The regionals, played from May 18-21, will each produce one winner, with the 16 regional winners paired off for eight super regional matchups. The super regionals are best-of-three series to be played from May 25-28, with the eight winners advancing to the Women’s College World Series, played in Oklahoma City from June 1-7.

Here are the 16 national seeds:

Florida

Arizona

Oregon

Florida State

UCLA

Washington

Auburn

Tennessee

Texas A&M

Oklahoma

Utah

Ole Miss

LSU

Kentucky

Baylor

Alabama

Here are the regional groupings and opening day matchups. The tournament’s format is double-elimination, so the winners of these showdowns will be set to meet each other on day two — and same with the losers. The full 64-team bracket can be found here.
