Go Huskies!
Posted: Wednesday, June 03, 2009 by Travis Cody in
Congratulations to the University of Washington, who beat the University of Florida yesterday to win the Women's College World Series and the national championship in softball.
The #3 seed Cougars beat the #1 seed Gators 2 games to 0 in the 3 game championship series. National Player of the Year Danielle Lawry went the distance on the mound in both games, striking out the final two Florida hitters with the tying and winning runs on first and second.
And just as an addendum to yesterday's post, after UW made the victory pile they walked the sportsmanship line to slap hands with the Gators.
Hey! Did you know there was a west coast thing going on in college softball? Since the inception of the Women's CWS in 1982, the Pac 10 conference has won 22 championships including this one by Washington. UCLA (11), Arizona (8), Arizona St, and Cal are the other Pac 10 schools to win.
And, CS Fullerton and Fresno State have each won. Texas A&M (2), Oklahoma, and Michigan are the only schools east of the Sierras that have won championships in softball.
Way to go Huskies!
I need to ask a favor. Can you go read this post at Hope Radio? All I'm asking is that you read and then do what is in you to do. No obligation. Just one more post as you make your rounds.
Thanks.
