We're done with the regionals and super regionals. The Women's College World Series starts this Thursday night, 5/30, when Florida v. Oklahoma plays game one at 7 PM EDT on ESPN 2:

From the softball I've watched, I think the best of 3 series next Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday if necessary will come down to 1 seed Oklahoma and 2 seed UCLA. They seem to be head and shoulders better than everybody when playing at their best. However, history has shown that the best don't always play their best in the WCWS. In their regionals, Oklahoma was stretched to a final game against Wisconsin and UCLA was stretched to a final game against Missouri.
Defending national champion Florida State will be watching on television as they were upset in 3 in the Tallahassee super regional by Oklahoma State.
The opening game of the series between Florida and Oklahoma State will be interesting as Florida HC Tim Walton and Oklahoma State HC Kenny Gajewski are best buds having played together on the 1994 Oklahoma Sooner national championship team. Gajewski was also an asst. coach for 3 years at Florida in 2013/2014/2015, the last 2 years when the Gators won the back to back 2014 and 2015 national championships. In 2017, Kenny brought his second Cowgirl team to the Gainesville super regional where they pushed the Gators to a game 3 before bowing out of the tournament.
