I am confused about what happened today
Tech lost to LSU in the 1pm game and at 6pm game we defeated Akron! As I understand it we are supposed to play LSU again tomorrow for the championship?? I must have missed something! ** Edited by janine at 5/16/2026, 10:24:08 PM

Boo to Janine, twice. Glad she’s not our coach. Very inspiring.

They pulled it off in 2022.
Won the first game, lost to Kentucky in the second game, won a game in the elimination bracket , then beat Kentucky twice in one day to advance to super regionals.

That was an amazing game to watch
If I remember correctly, Kentucky had the tying run on 3B ... and Bennett came charging in to make an incredibly tough play on a slow roller to get the final out. And then a few minutes later Enter Sandman was blasting out of all the speakers. That was a great day.

I think the odds that were sighted on the telecast today was that . . .
. . . historically, the winner of our game with LSU had a little over an 80% chance of winning the regional. So, there's a chance :)

I think it's actually 94%

One pitch at a time. Think of a conference 3 game series.

Just remember we smacked around UGA a couple of games and it was not
close. IF, Mazz is on then watch out. Get the hitting to align and nothing is out of the realm

It is a double-elimination format. Tech has to beat LSU twice to advance.

It's double-elimination, so we need to beat LSU twice.
Here's a link to the bracket. If you click on our region, you can see how it works. 4 teams, double-elimination.
