The Arizona State softball team will try this weekend to reach its third straight Women's College World Series. Should they make it, the Devils will have some extra cargo to load into the team bus for the drive to Oklahoma City.

The team is hosting a relief drive in partnership with the Red Cross to help those affected by Monday's powerful tornado in Moore, Okla., just outside Oklahoma City. If ASU doesn't advance past Kentucky in the NCAA Super Regionals in Tempe this weekend, the donations will be shipped. If the Sun Devils do make it, they'll actually take the donations with them to personally deliver.

Below are the details for making a donation.

ITEMS BEING ACCEPTED

• Monetary donations
• Canned goods
• Non-perishable food
• Baby formula

DROP-OFF LOCATIONS

• Starting Thursday at noon and continuing through Friday at 4:30 p.m., donations will be collected on the first floor of the Carson Student Athlete Center (just outside Sun Devil Stadium) and at the Memorial Union on ASU's Tempe Campus.
• On Saturday and Sunday, donations will be collected at the front gate of Farrington Stadium, where the Super Regional games will be played. Saturday's game starts at 7 p.m. and Sunday's at 2 p.m. and 5 p.m. (if necessary).
