Liberty just pulled off biggest NCAA softball upset ever at hands of Texas A&M

NCAA softball No. 1 seeds don't get knocked out in the regional round. Heading into this weekend, it had never happened in the history of Division I softball, in which seeding began in 2005.

That's no longer true. Liberty, the Flames from Lynchburg, Virginia, made sure of that.

They stormed into College Station and took down No. 1 seed Texas A&M, and they did it in thrilling fashion.

The Flames put themselves in the driver's seat of the double-elimination regional round by stunning Texas A&M on Saturday, 8-5.

But they'd match up again Sunday, and if the top-seed Aggies could win back-to-back games against the mid-major Flames, that earlier upset would mean nothing.

The pair played a wild first game on Sunday. Liberty trailed by four entering the bottom of the seventh, scored those four to tie it, but then A&M put up three in the top of the eighth and held on to win the extra-inning contest, 14-11.

That set up the rubber match. Whoever won late Sunday night would move on.

Liberty trailed 3-0 early when Rachel Roupe launched a home run off the left field scoreboard.

Then, Savannah Jessee's two-run shot tied it 3-3.

And in a 3-3 game in the sixth, Roupe crushed her second HR, a three-run shot, to take the lead.

Liberty barely held on late, stranding two A&M runners with a 6-5 lead in the seventh, to secure the historic victory.

The Flames move on to their first Super Regional in program history with their 50th win of the season. Sports rarely disappoint.
