Georgia def. Florida, 2-1

Facing elimination, Georgia held Florida scoreless through the first four innings of play. The Gators cut the lead in half on a sacrifice fly with the bases loaded from Korbe Otis in the fifth. The Bulldogs would take a one run lead into the seventh inning. Florida put two runners on base, forcing Georgia starting pitcher Lillie Backes out of the game with two outs remaining. Randi Roelling would relieve her and would shut down the Gators in four pitches to end the game. The Super Regional series is tied at one a piece, forcing a Game 3 on Sunday.

Tennessee def. Nebraska, 3-2

It was a nervy game, with nobody able to break free and clear through the heart of the game. Tennessee did just enough to survive and advance to a winner-take-all game in the Knoxville Super Regional. Second baseman Ella Dodge hit a two-run homer in the first inning, then the Volunteers took the 3-2 lead on a McKenna Gibson sacrifice fly in the top of third. Pitcher Karlyn Pickens did the rest, going the complete game and allowing only five hits in the contest. She struck out 11.

UCLA def. South Carolina, 5-4

With two outs in the bottom of the seventh inning and facing elimination in Super Regional play, UCLA’s Jordan Woolery took the first pitch she saw deep to left field for a two-run, walk-off home run against the South Carolina Gamecocks. The Bruins never led during the matchup until the final out, forcing a pivotal Game 3 to decide one of the eight spots in the Women’s College World Series.

Arkansas def. Ole Miss, 4-0

The Razorbacks live to fight another day after rallying to force a Game 3 of Super Regionals in Fayetteville. They wasted no time getting the scoring started with a pair of runs in the opening inning and never looked back on its way to the shutout. A throwing error in the fifth allowed two more runs to score to provide some insurance. The defense was stifling behind pitcher Payton Burnham, who had seven strikeout, including one in the final inning. The teams play again Sunday in a winner-take-all with a trip to Oklahoma City on the line.
