Looks like Tennessee's Rainey Gaffin will not play after she fractured her non throwing arm the other day.

Too bad this game was not on tv. First game is so big, I am thinking Candrea will go with O'toole in game 2.

You can watch them on espn3.

There we go Cats!

FreeSpiritCat · Post by **FreeSpiritCat** » Sat May 21, 2016 2:08 pm

Wow! If if wasn't for giving up a hit to the first batter of the game, Danielle O'Toole would have pitched a perfect game.

prh · Post by **prh** » Sat May 21, 2016 2:10 pm

4-0 win over Tennessee, O'Toole with a 1 hit shutout. Leadoff batter got a hit and then she retired the next 21 batters. Looked great. Only Tennessee's 2nd home loss this year. I think tomorrow's game is at 2:30 ET

Irish27 · Post by **Irish27** » Sat May 21, 2016 2:11 pm

O'toole was just dominant and now the Cats get to sit and watch the other three knock each other out.

Just lovely today

Here's hoping we finish it off tomorrow

azgreg · Post by **azgreg** » Sat May 21, 2016 6:10 pm

Will O'Toole pitch game 1 tomorrow or do we save her for game 2 if needed?

pc in NM · Post by **pc in NM** » Sat May 21, 2016 6:12 pm

The only game I was able to watch before today, was the third consecutive shutout in Eugene...

... this was the difference between day and night!!!

Bear Down, Arizona!!!

No need to save pitching for a game that may not happen. I say throw her, she's been on fire.

prh · Post by **prh** » Sat May 21, 2016 8:18 pm

Pretty low pitch count on the day too. She'll be fine to pitch, and the way she did today I'd expect to see her in game 1.

Irish27 · Post by **Irish27** » Sun May 22, 2016 7:27 am

I would pitch Taylor in the first game today, neither Tennessee or Ohio State have seen her. If Taylor struggles, you can always bring in Danielle. If it goes to a game two, that means it would be the third game today for either Tennessee or Ohio State, and most likely they will be tired.

No reason not to stick with the hot hand IMO.

Arizona, Utah, UCLA, and Washington all advance to the Super Regionals. Oregon can join them if the win one of two over Baylor.
