We wrote previously about former Vista Bomber, former Long Beach Nitehawk Steve Miner coaching the San Diego State University women’s team. If you’re near a TV set tonight at 2pm EDT, 5pm PDT, you can catch them on ESPN, taking on the defending National champions, Arizona State in a NCAA Regional Game. ASU will be no easy feat, but San Diego’s coming off a great season, giving UCLA a run for their money in two one run ballgames.

While mentioning ESPN, I guess I have to emphasize that this is not April 1 ! (“Ballparkradio Duo to ESPN Radio”. Belated apologies on that one)
Here’s the blurb from the official team website:
SDSU Softball’s Friday NCAA Regional Game at ASU to be Broadcast on ESPN Aztecs’ first NCAA game against defending national champion Arizona State to be shown on ESPN
May 14, 2009
TEMPE, Ariz. – San Diego State softball’s NCAA tournament game against defending national champion Arizona State on Friday will be broadcast live on ESPN, the network announced Thursday. The game, which is scheduled for 5 p.m. PT, will still be shown on ESPNU as well as ESPNHD and ESPN360.com.
The Aztecs (33-18), who are looking to advance to the NCAA Super Regionals for the first time in program history, and the 10th overall seed Sun Devils (40-16) will follow the LSU (32-16-1)-Cal State Fullerton (29-19) game, which will start at 2:30 p.m. (ESPNU).
