Earlier yesterday, Oklahoma ousted Alabama, 6-3, in 9 innings, UCLA eliminated Louisiana- Lafayette, 5-1, then sent Washington packing with a 2-1 win.

Today, California (47-19) will play top-seeded Arizona (56-5) at 7 a.m. (HST) and Texas (49-7) takes on UCLA (51-7) at 9:30 a.m. Arizona and Texas, undefeated in the World Series, can advance to Monday's championship game if they win. California and UCLA would have to win twice today to advance.

California's Kelly Anderson pitched 6¡ innings to earn the victory against Oklahoma yesterday, allowing a run on two hits after relieving starter Kristin Thorson, who pitched to four batters and left trailing 1-0.

Cal tied it in the second and took a 3-1 lead in the fourth.

Kaleo Eldredge (Baldwin 2001) started the fourth with a bunt single and Cal loaded the bases with one out for Galindo, who singled to score Eldredge and Spencer. Cal made in 5-2 in the seventh when Spencer followed a walk to Eldredge with a homer to left.

Eldredge got the final out of the game on a diving, over-the-shoulder-catch near the warning track in center.
