Texas-Tyler 5, Linfield 4 in 8 innings
Texas-Tyler 3, Linfield 2 in 10 innings
Those are difficult scores to ponder for any Wildcats fan as we are left to consider what might have been. A ball that lands fair instead of foul, an overthrow by a UTT player, or perhaps one more favorable umpire call could have turned either of those scores around.
Unlike some sports where champions can be safely predicted before they even compete, the game of softball has so many variables that the outcome is always be decided on the field, not on paper.
This group of Wildcats are outstanding representatives of their college and sport and have brought additional prestige to Linfield’s honor.
I will long have good memories of another fun and entertaining trip to the regional playoffs.
Good job, ‘Cats! I enjoyed every minute!
