I don’t know if you’ve heard, but there was a softball game last night. It was long.

Game 1 could have counted for a Best of 3 Series by itself. Thankfully, it was a Game 1 that the Sooners won. Florida and Oklahoma are two highly talented teams who seem reasonably well-matched, so it’s no surprise to see them fighting games out.

Game 2 is tonight, with a 7:00 CT start as opposed to last night’s 6:00. Of course, they may be better off starting around 4:00 if the games are going to last 5 and a half hours, but I digress.

A huge storyline tonight will be the pitching. After all four pitchers threw more than 100 pitches last night, the coaching staffs will a choice on their hands as to who to put on the mound.

Another storyline will be emotionally moving past that kind of a Game 1. Both teams poured a lot into last night’s matchup, so it will be important to find the energy and come out focused tonight.

Regardless of circumstances, a full team effort will be the only way to get another win against a tough Florida squad. Go get that win tonight and keep the title in Norman!

ONE MORE WIN
