North Carolina State won the JMU-hosted regional, whereas Kentucky prevailed in South Bend. For a spot in the supers. You had the Gophers hitting dramatic home runs to win Sunday'...

Alan's College Softball Blog: 2015 NCAA Regionals -- Saturday Updates
http://collegesoftball.blogspot.com/2015/05/2015-ncaa-regionals-saturday-updates.html
Saturday, May 16, 2015. 2015 NCAA Regionals - Saturday Updates. Not a good day so far for seeded (and unseeded) SEC teams. No 5-seed LSU has fallen to Arizona State. 1-0 After starting off the season 25-0 and holding a 41-5 record. As of April 19, the Tigers have stumbled, going 4-6 in their last 10 games before today's loss. Under the regionals' double-elimination format, LSU can still recover, but it won't be easy. To the Hilltoppers, 2-1. Another seed (this time non-SEC) has lost, as NC State shuts out.
