Women's College Softball World Series championship series Game 3 history

Women's College Softball World Series championship series Game 3 history Show Caption Hide Caption How the SEC's softball dominance could carry it through to the Women's College World Series The Oklahoman's Jenni Carlson shares the top storylines she's following through the NCAA softball tournament, starting with the SEC's biggest strengths. The saying is "There's nothing like Game 7 in sports." The same is true of Game 3 of the championship series in the Women's College World Series. The 2025 season will conclude on Friday at Devon Park in Oklahoma City with a rare treat for college softball fans: a Game 3. For the seventh time since the WCWS adopted the best-of-three-game series format in 2025, everything will come down to a winner-take-all game. No. 6 Texas will take on No. 12 Texas Tech at 8 p.m. ET to determine which of the programs from the Lone Star State will collect their first national championship in the sport. Here's what you need to know about the history of Game 3s in the WCWS: How many Game 3s have there been in WCWS finals history? The Texas-Texas Tech Game 3 on Friday will be the seventh WCWS in championship series history since the format was adopted in 2005. This will be the first one since Oklahoma stormed back from a 1-0 deficit against Florida State to win two straight to begin their dynastic four-peat. The first Game 3 occurred the same year the new format was put in place. UCLA defeated Michigan 5-0 in Game 1, but the Wolverines earned 5-2 and 4-1 wins to win the national title. That Game 3 actually lasted 10 innings before Michigan pulled away late. The 2007, 2012, 2015 and 2016 Women's College World Series also went the full three games. The winner of Game 1 only won the national championship in just 2015 and 2016 WCWS. Texas-Texas Tech 2025 WCWS Texas opened with a 2-1 victory over Texas Tech on a clutch hit from catcher Reese Atwood. The Red Raiders were carried by NiJaree Canady in Game 2 to force the winner-takes-all Game 3.

However, the Tigers scored 11 consecutive runs, including four on a grand slam by Emily Carosone in the eighth inning. Paige Parker limited Auburn to one run in a gem to win Game 3.

Keegan Bradley Offers Strong Opinion on First Ryder Cup Lock

Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Back in April, Scottie Scheffler made a surprising decision. Fresh off his dominant win at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson, where he tied a PGA Tour record with a jaw-dropping 253, the World No. 1 had the opportunity to join his Ryder Cup teammates for an exclusive Team USA dinner. But instead, he chose family over formality, skipping the event, which also had Bryson Dechambeau and Brooks Koepka. But did it affect his impression of Ryder Cup captain Keegan Bradley?

(Photo by) More Getty Images Not a chance! Instead, Scheffler's unmatched consistency this season has made him the first official lock for Team USA at Bethpage Black this November. On Wednesday, Keegan Bradley made no secret of his enthusiasm. "Scottie is the ultimate team player, and I have no doubt that he will be ready and motivated come September," Bradley stated. "I could not be more excited to have him as a member of the U.S. Team." "Scottie is the ultimate team player and I have no doubt that he will be ready and motivated come September. I could not be more excited to have him as a member of the U.S. Team." - @Keegan_Bradley — Ryder Cup USA (@RyderCupUSA) June 4, 2025 And why not? His PGA Tour resume the last couple of years is becoming legendary. He didn't just win at Muirfield Village—he became the second player ever to defend his title there, a feat only Tiger Woods (1999-2001) had previously accomplished. At the PGA Championship, Scheffler stormed through Quail Hollow, putting together four clinical rounds, closing with an even-par 71 to win by five strokes. His ball-striking numbers this season? Ranks No. 1 in SG: Approach, No. 1 in SG: Tee-to-Green, and Top 3 in SG: Total. If that was not enough, Scheffler's Ryder Cup history speaks for itself His debut came at Whistling Straits in 2021, where the U.S. routed Europe 19-9. Now, as a three-time Ryder Cup player, the stage is set for him to take on Bethpage Black's fierce test. "Representing the United States at the Ryder Cup has been one of the greatest honors of my career, and I look forward to doing so for a third time this September," Scheffler said upon officially locking his spot. Scottie Scheffler walks off the 18th green after finishing his round during the second round of the Memorial Tournament presented by Workday at Muirfield Village Golf Club in Dublin, Ohio.

After Team USA's defeat in Rome in 2023, the stakes are higher than ever. "I will do whatever it takes to help our team reclaim the Cup and cannot wait to play in front of the passionate New York spectators at Bethpage Black," Scheffler added. Who will join Scottie Scheffler next? While Scheffler's seat is secured, the remaining five automatic spots are far from settled. Current rankings show Xander Schauffele, Bryson DeChambeau, Justin Thomas, Collin Morikawa, and Russell Henley as the frontrunners. But with Ben Griffin climbing seven places, sitting just 1,334 points behind Henley, the fight for a Ryder Cup spot is intensifying. Bradley will also announce six Captain's Picks in August, meaning Ryder Cup hopefuls still have time to make a case for themselves. For now, Scheffler stands alone as the first lock—but the race to join him is far from over. More Golf: Jack Nicklaus Shades PGA Tour Stars Amid Scottie Scheffler's Win
