It just wasn’t our year this year in Basketball…but that is why we can always rely on the one program that makes girls cry regularly. Its Wildcat Softball. And they don’t mess around normally. After losing Game 1, the girl’s clawed their way back into it in Game 2:

Pinch-runner Danielle Rodriguez came charging home on Adrienne Acton’s grounder in the 10th inning, and catcher Shannon Doepking spun in an attempt to tag her out. Rodriguez scraped her left hand toward the tip of home plate.

“I still kind of had to look at the umpire because I wasn’t really sure what he was going to call,” said Lowe, who was in the on-deck circle when Acton hit the ground ball.

Umpire Jerry Bark ruled that Rodriguez was in beneath Doepking’s tag to score the winning run in Arizona’s 1-0 win over Tennessee on Tuesday night that extended the Women’s College World Series finals to a decisive third game.

In case anyone was wondering, the final game will be on tonight at 5 p.m. on ESPN2. So far, the Cat’s have struggled to score runs in this series and it’s going to be tough to win the last game:

“We’re trying 18 million different things, obviously, when you’ve got someone like Monica on the mound and throwing well,” Candrea said. “The name of the game is if you get an opportunity you’ve got to make something happen. You can’t sit back and expect to get two hits.”

You see that? You can’t expect to get two hits. Just one. Let’s hope that one is all they need!
