Also, can we just take a moment to celebrate the fact that all four
#WCWS
semi-finalist teams are coached by such badass, powerful, influential women in this sport. We love to see it.
I think teams playing OU should throw their gloves/visors in the air and scream graduation style every time they make a defensive out just to make a statement
I don’t think people who aren’t regular followers of the sport realize how HARD it to get to the
#WCWS
. Making it to OKC in the first place speaks volumes of a program.
To think that a coach who gets their team there as consistently as anyone should get the boot is WILD to me.
If a coach wins a challenge, they deserve the challenge back. You shouldn’t be punished for missed calls. I really hope to see this rule updated in the future

Stanford Cardinal pitcher NiJaree Canady is reportedly set to enter the NCAA transfer portal (paperwork will be filed by Monday). The rising junior was named USA Softball Collegiate Player of the Year for the 2024 season and will have two years of eligibility remaining.
Montana Fouts will remain one of the greats of Bama Softball as well as softball as a whole, forever. An incredible college career & an even better human. Her brand is “be the blessing”- safe to say she honors that daily. She deserves the world in whatever she chooses to do next
My respect for Jordy Bahl today 📈. The portal exists to allow players to do what’s right for them- both in softball at in their hearts. This move is a good thing for softball- but it sounds like it’s an even better thing for Bahl on a personal level.

The only unlikely thing about today is you presenting an unbiased opinion about Texas for once lol. Have you even watched this team? There is nothing surprising about this performance.
Also that one day weather delay is gonna benefit Texas so much, regardless of who they play. Both aces with 130+ pitches on a 90 degree day, versus a fresh Texas tomorrow.
It’s okay to be sad that a talented athlete is leaving your favorite program. It’s not okay to harass and belittle them for it. They’re not property- they’re people, searching for the things, people, and places that are going to make them happiest and healthiest. Let them live.

Thank you for advocating for these girls! They sure made Longhorn nation proud and deserve to be celebrated. Trust you’ll help make it right!
Holly Rowe last year: wore Arkansas red to Texas/Arkansas
Holly Rowe this year: wearing Tennessee blue to Texas/Tennessee.
I think it’s safe to say Holly hates the Horns 😂🙄🤘🏼
@jen_schro
That interview was 😭🥺 The way FSU players speak about Coach Alameda & her impact on their lives year after year is such a testament to her and that program.
Upsets I’m predicting this weekend (just for fun): 👀
Texas over Washington
Arizona over Missouri
Michigan over UCF
Louisiana over Clemson
USF over FSU?

Seeing McKenzie fight for her opportunity and THRIVE has been such a highlight this season for me. Can’t wait to see her continue to grow 🥺🤘🏼
I hope everyone goes and reads Paige Lowary’s recent post on Instagram, and that those of you who used (and made assumptions about) a young woman’s deep, personal struggles for personal gain are absolutely ashamed at the pain that was caused. *cough cough*
@ExtraInningSB
All 3 POY candidates shined this year, no doubt. Exceptional athletes. But an everyday 2-way player who shines above everyone else on BOTH sides of the game deserves to be celebrated!!
@ncaasoftball
it’s LONG passed time for a pitcher of the year award!
Love the accountability and humility shown here. What a wonderful example for those will come next- lapses in judgement happen. Sometimes feelings take over. It’s what we do next that really counts. Praying for a quick recovery 🩷

@CamilleCorona
Love seeing CC at third! She looks SOLID and every time they show her she is talking to Shea and the infield, showing some young leadership for sure. Love to see it 🤘🏼
I’m just gonna say it… winning a natty is a dream for every player at this level- it’s tempting to jump ship to follow it. But I see someone who looked much happier wearing a different, brighter color 🤷🏻♀️
Friendly reminder that “that’s how she’s been pitching all weekend” is NOT a valid excuse for illegal pitches. The rule is what it is and should be used as often as needed. If it’s not gonna be called every time, change the rule. And If the rule stands- it should be enforced.🤷🏻♀️
@jen_schro
I have to say Washington. How do you go from ranked 5th to a 16 seed? Absolute bs. Clemson and MI too. And Texas/Oregon got made into a storyline instead of a regional as well. Overall the whole thing is a dumpster fire 🤦🏻♀️
@JanaeJefferson4
@TexasSoftball
You are an absolute legend, and your legacy will be remembered at Texas, and in this game, forever. Thank you for everything you have given and the inspiration you have been for the next generation. Rooting for you for life- on the field and off🧡🤘🏼
@ExtraInningSB
What good does posting this do? What does it do to grow the game? This individual isnt even involved in softball anymore. Maybe time to do some reflecting on the purpose of your site. Bc as I see it-the only possible goal of this post was money & to hurt someone u dont even know.
@ExtraInningSB
To my understanding, UK requested the drop time. UK had a normal pace inning for their half of the 8th (normal ABs, runners, timeouts), UT was being rushed each and every pitch. Y’all act as if UK wouldn’t have done the same exact thing had they been in the other dugout lol
Introducing the Athletes Unlimited Softball League 🥎
Launching in 2025, the
#AUSL
will feature four teams playing a 30-game season (60 total games) in a traditional format.
More info 👉
Woke up why I had a knot in my stomach and remembered… it’s Texas/OSU week 😅 Excited for good games featuring two great teams- not so excited for the storyline I know broadcasters are gonna harp on all weekend long🙄
Texas and Texas A&M will go down as one of the best super regional series we’ve seen. So much grit, fight, and passion. TAMU…. You were so seen. Congrats to y’all, especially your seniors, on an amazing fight and season.
I’m seeing a few Miranda Elish tweets show up on the timeline. That’s ok. She made the best decision that was right for her and I respect that. She provided me with some of my favorite Texas Softball memories that I’ll have forever. I wish her nothing but success and happiness.
Say what you want but if rankings are based weekly performance combined with overall status, the top 5 team that beat the
#1
team back to back, something no other team has done in years, deserves to be

I love you and I’m so proud of you. This year was about so much more than softball for you and it was so clear how happy, loved, and grateful you were to be a Cowgirl. Here’s to whatever you choose to do next, always in your corner over here🧡🧡

@mak_parkerr
Y’all displayed that Texas Fight all weekend long. So proud- way to turn things around. Only up from here 🤘🏼 Keep it going!
I’m glad to see Sooner fans being so good about JB’s transfer (as they should be), but I can’t help but think back on all of the times that fanbase absolutely publicly annihilated other players for making the same choice lmao
@justfactsmaam
This is honestly disrespectful in my opinion. Where is this energy and need to have a “disclaimer”when teams like OU have crazy offensive weekends against similar competition?
Hey
@TexasSoftball
you know you’re doing something right when you get the OU treatment of teams acting like they won the world series beating you in February lol. Only up from here 🤘🏼
