There is either one (or two) more games remaining to determine who will play Oklahoma in the final series of the 2023 Women’s College World Series.
In one dugout we have the Tennessee Lady Volunteers (51-9), who need two wins to set up a rematch against Oklahoma. The Lady Vols have already faced the Sooners, a team that handed them their first postseason loss — a 9-0 mercy rule demolition that saw Tennessee muster only one hit. They rebounded on Sunday behind ace Ashley Rogers and escaped with a win, taking down Oklahoma State.
In the other dugout is a Florida State Seminoles (57-9) group that knocked off Washington, 3-1, on Saturday night with a web gem double play from Josie Muffley to end the game. They have jumped out to a 2-0 start in the Women’s College World Series, which is why they have the advantage heading into tonight’s contest.
If the Lady Vols manage to steal Game 1, then there will be another game 30 minutes following the conclusion of the first matchup. That contest would then determine which team advances.
However, the ‘Noles have only dropped one game in their last 24, illustrating the uphill battle for Rocky Top.
