Are you ready for more of the Women’s College World Series? Because there’s going to be four teams trying to avoid elimination today. The Texas Tech Red Raiders, Texas Longhorns, Nebraska Cornhuskers, and UCLA Bruins are all trying to stay alive in Oklahoma City.
But only two of those teams will get the opportunity to keep playing in the Women’s College World Series. Two of those teams will be heading home.
Right now, the only teams that are currently safe from being eliminated today are the Alabama Crimson Tide and the Tennessee Lady Volunteers. Both of those teams have managed to stay alive in the winners’ brackets and are waiting for their next opponent for Monday’s WCWS semifinals.
