Did I jump the gun a month ago? Turns out, no.

Tomorrow I’ll post pics of the All-Americans.

@ShimekHannah @SOURaiders @SOU_Softball

The Raiders eliminated Mount Mercy today, narrowing the NAIA Softball World Series field to just five teams. Next up is the winner of the Madonna vs. Bethany game (sounds like an 80s pop competition). The SOU vs winner game is scheduled for 1 p.m. PT on Tuesday.
