Got Game: Postseason Softball Preview
The Postseason has a lot of local softball flavor.

"If you build it, they will come"... Sure that's a "Field of Dreams" reference, but several local softball teams have built impressive seasons and now have come to find some postseason fun.
Still swinging for a National Championship prize is the focus of this week's She's Got Game..
This week is huge when it comes to softball and the postseason...
Valdosta State is just 2 wins away from NCAA Nationals...
Their impressive victories this past weekend in the NCAA South Region Tournament have led them to the South Region Championship matchup in a best-of-3 game series against Alabama-Huntsville
VSU Head Softball Coach Thomas Macera says:
"...It's a Gulf South Conference showdown to see who's going to Nationals."
The Garnet & Gold also get the honor of hosting postseason action...
The Division 1 Ladies get the chance to show some hospitality this week in the Tallahassee Regional of the NCAA tournament. I guess you can say they're excited.
FSU Senior Catcher/Infielder Kaleigh Rafter says:
"It's a great honor to host..."
They'll open up against Oklahoma State beginning Friday at 7:30.
Not everything is a party in familiar territory.
The FAMU Rattlers earned their 7th NCAA tournament appearance this year, but have been given a daunting task. They'll travel to Gainesville this week for a Friday night matchup against the Florida Gators-- the nation's topranked team.
FAMU starting pitcher Amanda Reyes says:
"We just have to play our game and not get caught up in who we are playing."
As you can tell, the current fan base has to like the odds of seeing more softball success by the end of the week
