Outstanding!

Another UAB victory over UCLA.

Campbell sister act hard to top
http://espn.go.com/college-sports/softba...l-day-play

1. It was a heck of a day for the Campbell family. There are sister acts all across the bracket this year, and more than a few had fabulous Fridays. South Florida's Ashli and Courtney Goff had all four of their team's hits in a 1-0 extra-inning win against Georgia Southern, a game settled when Ashli scored on a walk-off squeeze play. Cal's Jolene and Danielle Henderson teamed up for a complete game (Jolene) and two home runs (Danielle) in a comfortable win against Central Michigan.

Hannah Campbell, perfect in Friday's game, is a big reason why South Alabama is seeded.
But no sisters had a better day than Hannah and Lannah Campbell, even if they were separated by a few hundred miles.

UAB junior Lannah got things started with a complete-game win against UCLA in the Louisville regional. Lannah also got the save when UAB opened the season with a win against Washington, meaning she had a hand in the only two wins the program ever had against Pac-12 teams. The Bruins scored single runs in each of the first three innings, but after the Blazers put up six in the top of the third, Lannah allowed just two hits over the final four innings.

That set the stage for Hannah, who got the ball for No. 13 South Alabama in its first ever postseason game as a seeded team. The national leader in ERA entering the tournament, she lowered that mark to 0.84 with a six-inning perfect game in a 10-0 win against Mississippi Valley State in the Mobile regional.

For the record, father Randy, a superintendent in the Mobile school system, watched Hannah pitch at home, while mother Donna and the twins' grandmother traveled to Louisville to watch Lannah.

Yes!!! Is it single or double elimination?

Double elimination.

Should UAB beat Louisville at 1 PM, they would be in the championship game(s) and would not play again until tomorrow. We would then have two chances to advance against our opponent.

A loss would mean we would need to win an elimination game later on today to advance to the championship games. We would then need to win 2 tomorrow to advance to the super regional.

We have three great pitchers that can all get it done against the best of the best... we'll be playing Sunday even if the unthinkable happens and we lose to Loserville.

@Blazerman: Thanks!

Incredible...

Too bad they don't have any more sisters - Dannah, Jannah, Mannah, etc.

Campbell has seemed to be the hottest pitcher of the 3 lately. Campbell started against UCLA Friday and Webster started against Louisville. I imagine Streetman will be the pitcher against UCLA tomorrow. If you remember earlier in the year, Streetman had a perfect game against Alabama State.

Of those 3, Webster is the only senior. Look for us to have a strong pitching squad again next year.
