Good morning Tigers, 

I have been binge-watching the College Softball and Baseball Division 1 Championships. First take the Oklahoma vs. Standford softball game was intense. I was locked in for every pitch (game highlights)(Okalahoma's fan base's reaction). 

 You'll be shocked on my favorite moment so far in the Baseball Championships; hint, it's not a spectacular play; it's more of an overlooked teachable moment by many. (Kentucky player gets hyped)


In this week's Tiger Rundown:

1. Home Run Alley in the Tiger Performances. It reminds me of the 1927 Yankees "Murders Row." 

2. Tennessee sneaks by Clemson in the Baseball Championships 

3. Oklahoma softball's fan base is at another level

I don't know about you, but after all the doubleheaders, this is a vibe.

From the Rundown

Tony Vitello saves the University of Tennessee from entering the elimination bracket.

What happened? Tie ball game, two outs, with Clemson getting the chance to end the game. The pivotal play came down to the wire and needed an instant replay. This can easily be seen as the point where the regional was decided. 

(Watch the Play and the Reactions)





From the Rundown

51 Straight Wins

What's it about? The University of Oklahoma has a devoted fan base, and they're taking them to the championship series against Florida State, starting the best of 3 on Wednesday at 7 pm.
