2007 NCAA Women’s College World Series

2007 held at ASA Hall of Fame Stadium in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma on May 31 – June 6.

Champion – Arizona Wildcats (50-14-1)
Runner Up – Tennessee Volunteers (63-8)

Chelsie Mesa’s error in a loss to Tennessee Friday night/early Saturday morning put Arizona in the losers’ bracket.

The Wildcats’ senior second baseman more than vindicated herself.

Mesa provided the crushing blow in a 5-run fifth inning eruption off Tennessee star Monica Abbott to lead Arizona to a 5-0 win Wednesday night in front of 5,533 fans at ASA Hall of Fame Stadium.

It is Arizona’s eighth softball national title.

Arizona junior right-hander Taryne Mowatt was named the tournament’s Most Outstanding Player. Mowatt pitched all 60 innings for the Wildcats, throwing 1,035 pitches. Mowatt allowed only four earned runs in eight games, striking out 79.

Similar to a 1-0, 10-inning loss Tuesday night, Tennessee had ample scoring opportunities but couldn’t score against Mowatt, 42-12. The Volunteers stranded 12 runners in Wednesday’s loss after leaving 14 runners on base in Tuesday’s loss.

The Wildcats rapped out 10 hits off Abbott, the national player of the year. The 5-run fifth was a startling turn around considering no team had scored against Abbott at the 2007 WCWS through 37 innings until Arizona finally pushed across a run in the 10th inning Tuesday night.

Five runs in the fifth was as many runs as Abbott had surrendered in her previous 90 innings.

All-American center fielder Caitlin Lowe, who was 4-for-4, ignited the 5-run explosion with a single that handcuffed Abbott. Jenae Leles busted up a pitchers’ duel with a two-run double. Mesa removed all doubt by slamming a three-run home run.

Beating Abbott once this season has been difficult. Beating the national player twice in as many nights is a major accomplishment. Abbott, 50-5, lost only two games the first three months.
