The WNBA has finally decided to come to an end and let Game 2 of the College World Series Championship Series get under way.

First inning

Kyle McCulloch is having a bit of trouble getting his fastball into the zone. Struck out the first two batters but he’s overthrowing his fastball a little bit and its tailing out of the strike zone.

Umpire seems to have a pretty small zone so far today, not giving much space off the corner. McCulloch got a little more of the plate on that one and strikes out the side in the first.

How do you figure Texas has more pressure? Florida is the seeded team and the team facing elimination with their number 3 starter on the mound.

Seth Johnston rakes one to left field but the ball looked like it might be caught for a moment and Nick Peoples has to hold at third. First and third with one out and the middle of the order up.

Will Crouch grounds into inning ending double play and Texas doesn’t score. ESPN’s announcers made it sound like a great play by Florida’s middle infielders but I think it was more of a case of Crouch being really slow. It was a good play, but the throw beat him by a step and a half. After one inning we’re still scoreless.

First game in a best-of-three championship series between the Texas Longhorns and the Florida Gators. Longhorns have an extra day of rest and have been able to set up their rotation how they want it.

First inning

Longhorns ahead early again. Centerfielder took a misstep and then had no prayer catching a liner off the bat of Will Crouch. Nick Peoples, who walked to lead-off the game, scored easily on the play. Make the freshman throw strikes and jump on him early and he might not be around long.

Horns’ defense a little shaky but they use a double play to get out of the inning quickly. They lead after one, 1 – 0.
