Oklahoma 6, Husky Softball 1 [box]
Danielle Lawrie picked a bad time for the worst start of her season–the reigning Nat’l POY allowed five homers, three to this 5’4″ chick, and UW dropped the first game of their best-of-three super regional. The Dawgs offense wasn’t much better, getting just two hits. The Huskies now must beat Oklahoma twice today, at 5:30 (ESPNU) and again at 8 p.m. (ESPN2, if nec.), if they are to advance to the College World Series.
Chicago 84, Storm 75 [box]
The Storm lose their first of the year, once again falling behind double-digits in the second half. They couldn’t come back from this one, though. The Sky shot nearly 50 percent against a porous Storm defense. Storm 4-1, first place West. Conf. Next game Sunday @ San Antonio.
Lakers’ Win Stirs Bad Memories
Friend David texted me after Artest’s putback: “What was Femerling doing on the court?” (If you don’t get the reference, trust me, you’re better off.)
HEY! Just saw Pete Carroll walking by down here at “The Sports Page” near the Alaska D gates. Striding purposefully, wheeling a black rollybag behind him. SPORTS!
