I also believe Canady will start the first game.  At this stage of the season she has to be considered Stanford's #1 pitcher.

Has the date and time of the first game been announced yet?

The date will be June 1st (this coming Thursday), but time not yet. That likely will be announced either today or at the latest tomorrow, once Super Regional play has concluded.

Stanford will face No. 1 Oklahoma in its first game in OKC. The Week 1 matchup between the Cardinal and the Sooners featured both teams starting their #3 pitchers (Krause vs. Storako). Still think Canady gets the ball for Stanford; will be curious to see whether Jordy Bahl or Nicole May gets the ball for the Sooners. As Clemson, whose offense was previously scuffling, showed today, OU is certainly not unbeatable in the circle.

Is it correct that depending on todays games, three Pac 12 teams will be in final 8?  It seems to me that winning the first game is very important which would seem to call for Canady to get the ball.  Vawter is a fine pitcher, but Oklahoma seems more likely to hit her pitching style than Canady's.  I would think you would do all you can to stay out of the losers bracket as long as you can.  If we somehow get a big lead by the 4th or 5th inning then maybe pull Canady to keep her pitch count down.  But then Allister does not seemed inclined to try and fine tune her pitching rotation.
I am looking forward to watching the series.

Yes, Utah can join Stanford and Washington in the World Series. Utah currently leading 4-1 in the win or go home Game 3 of their Super in SLC.
