It’s the unpredictability of sports that makes them so appealing—there’s nothing exciting about knowing (or, rather, strongly suspecting) ahead of time who is going to win. So it’s bitter-sweet that the defending champs of the NAIA Women’s Softball National Championship are already out of the competition. With just one day left until the final championship game, the title is officially up for grabs.
And the competition is getting tougher. Looking at Monday’s final scores, no team really blew any other team away. The 7-1 win of Oregon Tech over Lubbock Christian was the biggest score difference on Monday. Otherwise, scores were much closer compared to the scores seen earlier in the competition.
One game in particular proved close with solid pitching. California Baptist defeated Oklahoma City with a final score of 1-0. That one run came from just one hit—a homerun in the second inning. Oklahoma City’s pitcher did a stellar job, giving up only four hits and striking out seven in six innings, while California Baptist’s pitcher allowed only one hit and struck out eleven batters.
The championship final is scheduled for Wednesday, May 25th at 12:30 p.m. Come cheer on the next NAIA National Champions!
