Florida vs. Michigan, WCWS Championship Series, Game 1 open thread: Let's go, Gators

Florida puts its NCAA Tournament winning streak on the line against Michigan's winning streak.

It comes down to this: Florida — the No. 1 softball team in the country, the reigning national champion, the monster that has rampaged through Omaha for two years running, the squad with Lauren Haeger — against Michigan — the nation's No. 2 team, the one with the months-long winning streak, the best team outside the SEC all year, the one with Sierra Romero.

Two wins to either team wins a second national championship for a program relatively new to the mountaintop of college softball.
