Women’s College World Series: Recap, Lady Vols beat Oklahoma State to advance to the semifinals behind stellar defensive play

Following yesterday’s beatdown loss to the top-seed Oklahoma Sooners, Tennessee got another crack against a team from the OK State, the sixth-seeded Oklahoma State Cowgirls.

In a do-or-die elimination game, Tennessee once again looked upon their senior ace Ashley Rogers to carry them from inside the circle — and she proved that you don’t need your best stuff to still be incredibly effective.

Rogers labored for much of this game, throwing 89 pitches, 55 strikes, through her first four innings of work, but ended up going the distance, allowing just one run on 135 pitches.
