The most important news pre-game is the start time being moved up due to inclement weather.
Game time is now 12:00pm CST (1pm Eastern if you’re here in Maryland)
It appears the system has shifted and chances of rain reduced overnight, but last night’s forecast made it look like rain was likely literally starting around gametime and lasting a few hours. Better to kick off early and assure they get it in.
The game will still be broadcast on the Big 10 Network.
FINAL vs. UCLA – THINGS TO LOOK FOR:
- These two Top 10 squads met in Lincoln in late March with the Huskers taking two of three on a windy weekend. The wind blew in on Friday and out on Saturday and Sunday. Winds have not been much of a factor in College Park and are again only expected around 5-10mph.
- This game will likely have minimal effect on either team’s RPI and, by extension, their seedings for the NCAA tournament starting next weekend. Nevertheless, a tournament championship is always a big feather on the mantle – or something like that. UCLA fell short in last year’s final and Nebraska is trying for the season double title after winning the regular season crown. This will be an intense match-up.
- Jordy Frahm and Taylor Tinsley will assuredly get the starts. Advantage to Nebraska here – Frahm’s arm and legs got a rest yesterday while Alexis Jensen threw her best game and did it on a big stage. Tinsley has thrown 11 of UCLA’s 12 innings and was even left in after the Bruins took a 10-2 lead into the top of the 4th. Why? The remaining three UCLA hurlers have a horrific combined ERA of 6.29 and WHIP of 2.093. Regardless of performance Tinsley will pitch until the point of exhaustion and beyond as long as the game’s in doubt.
- Nebraska on the other hand can turn back to Jensen should Frahm find herself in trouble. However, no predictions on how things will go should Coaches Rhonda Revelle or Lori Sippel attempt to remove her mid-inning. I’ve only seen it once, I believe, and that was the .
