NCAA Football: California at Washington

Yesterday was supposed to be the opener of Washington in the WCWS against Utah but multiple lengthy lightning delays forced the game to be postponed to today at 10a on ESPN2. The loser of this game will have to play 2 games in the same day and both teams will play their next game at a rest disadvantage.

Maybe putting the WCWS in Oklahoma City at the beginning of June is just a terrible idea? Almost literally the place in the country with the highest chance of severe weather events.

Danielle Lawrie, who led the Huskies to the 2009 national title as a pitcher and hitter, makes it a point to connect with young UW pitchers, which has led to a special connection between her and freshman Ruby Meylan. https://t.co/oo4tK2q5Ww

“The magic equation to [winning] a regional is winning game one, and everybody knows that,” Husky baseball coach Jason Kelly said Wednesday. Here's why that'll be easier said than done. https://t.co/kvYSP26Di5

Off to a good start!

Washington has won its 2V8+ IRA heat by 7 or 8 seats over Yale. On to the A/B semifinals!
