Tennessee remains alive in the Women’s College World Series. The Volunteers may feel like they had to win it twice, but they’re moving on to face Texas in the semifinals.
UT nearly ended the game in regulation. Tennessee led 4-2 after 6 innings. As the home team, the Volunteers were 3 outs away in the top of the 7th.
UCLA was down to its final out when Megan Grant hit a 2-run home run, tying it 4-4. Replay, however, showed that Grant did not step on home plate before celebrating with teammates. The game was stopped for a lengthy review, only for the crew to say that the play was not reviewable due to Appendix G in the rulebook.
With that, the game moved into the bottom of the 7th, 4-4. Still knotted up after 7, it went into extra innings.
In the bottom of the 9th, Taylor Pannell led off with a double off the wall. With 1 out, UCLA chose to load the bases for a force out at every base, including home. It did not matter, as Laura Mealer singled to left field to end it.
