#8 Stanford had the toughest first round matchup in the Women’s College World Series, as they had to face off against #1 Texas yesterday. Although they were able to limit Texas to four runs, Stanford only had one hit and could not score in the loss.

Stanford has played eight games at the NCAA Tournament this year, and they have only scored four or more runs during three of those games. So, they have struggled offensively for most of this postseason. However, the Cardinal boast an impressive defense and completed two shutouts against #9 LSU in their Super Regional. Both of these performances occurred during elimination games, and Stanford will try to replicate those results tonight.

#5 Oklahoma State is coming off a close 1-0 loss to #4 Florida last night, as the Cowgirls conceded a solo home run in the fifth inning. Apart from this singular swing, neither team could find anything offensively. Each team had two hits during last night’s matchup, which showcases the difficulties at the plate.

The Cowgirls have played great offense for most of the season, as they have only been shutout during three games prior to yesterday. Additionally, Oklahoma State scored at least four runs during their regional and Super Regional matchups. So, last night was an abnormally lackluster performance from Oklahoma State’s offense, and they will try to bounce back tonight.
