Women's College World Series: Texas Tech walks off vs. Oklahoma, Texas blanks Tennessee to advance to finals
Lauren Allred's sacrifice fly in the bottom of the seventh inning gave Texas Tech a 3-2, walk-off win over Oklahoma in the Women's College World Series. (AP Photo/Vera Nieuwenhuis) For the first time in five years, women's college softball will have a new national champion. Oklahoma was eliminated from the Women's College World Series with a 3-2 loss to Texas Tech on Monday. The Sooners had to defeat the Red Raiders twice to avoid double elimination, but Lauren Allred's sacrifice fly in the bottom of the seventh made sure that wasn't an option with a walk-off win. Advertisement However, Oklahoma did not go down quietly with their season at stake in the seventh inning. Hannah Coor allowed the tying run to come to the plate with a one-out single. Isabela Emerling hit into a fielder's choice but kept the inning alive for Abby Dayton to blast a game-tying, two-run homer to right-center field with two strikes. The Red Raiders took a 2-0 lead in the second inning with Alana Johnson drawing a one-out walk against Oklahoma pitcher Sam Landry. Demi Elder then drove Johnson in with a triple. Two batters later, Bailey Lindemuth brought Elder home with a single. For 6 2/3 innings, that was plenty of offense for Texas Tech star NiJaree Canady. Prior to the seventh and Dayton's 2-run shot, the junior right-hander allowed three hits and one walk while striking out seven Sooners batters. Advertisement Oklahoma's defeat ends what has been a dynastic run in women's college softball under head coach Patty Gasso. The Sooners had won the past four national championships and seven of the past 11 Women's College World Series. (They also made the finals of the 2019 tournament.)

A day after Tennessee's dramatic win over UCLA, the Lady Volunteers were eliminated after a 2-0 loss to Texas on Monday. Offense was nowhere to be seen early in the contest. After three scoreless innings, frustrations finally boiled over for Tennessee. Following a questionable called strikeout by the home-plate umpire, Tennessee hitting coach Craig Snider was ejected from the contest for arguing balls and strikes. Advertisement Snider stormed out of the dugout to confront the home-plate ump on the field before he eventually walked back to the clubhouse. While the next Tennessee hitter was able to draw a walk, Texas pitcher Mac Morgan managed a groundout to end the inning. Morgan's ability to bounce back after Snider's outburst may have inspired the Longhorns. Texas outfielder Katie Stewart led off the bottom of the fourth with a home run on a ball that just carried over the left-field wall, giving Texas a 1-0 lead. Texas then took out Morgan — who had a season-high four strikeouts — in favor of sophomore pitcher Teagan Kavan. Advertisement After two scoreless — and hitless — innings by Kavan, Texas added an insurance run in the bottom of the sixth inning. A walk by Joley Mitchell and a single by Stewart put the Longhorns in scoring position. With two outs, Texas infielder Victoria Hunter hit a ground ball to third. Tennessee's Taylor Pannell scooped up the ball, but threw it too high to first. The ball sailed into the dugout, allowing Mitchell to score. With a 2-0 lead, Kavan took the mound in the seventh looking to close it out. Kavan allowed hard contact against the first two hitters she faced, but excellent defensive plays by Mia Scott at third and Leighann Goode at short kept Tennessee from starting a rally. Kavan then struck out Emma Clarke for the final out, sending Texas to the finals. Tremendous pitching performances by Morgan and Kavan propelled Texas to the victory. Morgan allowed just three hits over four innings of work, striking out four. Kavan did not allow a hit over the game's final three innings. Snider's ejection couldn't help Tennessee rally. The team failed to notch a single hit after the coach was sent to the clubhouse. With the win, Texas will move on to the finals, which will begin Wednesday. They'll take on the winner of Oklahoma and Texas Tech. Both teams will face off Monday. Because it's a double-elimination tournament, Oklahoma — which already has one loss — will need to beat Texas Tech twice in order to advance. Texas Tech can reach the finals with just one win over Oklahoma on Monday.

LaJoie Goes From Commentator To Contender In Spire Truck Playoff Push
LEBANON, TENNESSEE - JUNE 29: Corey LaJoie, driver of the #7 Garner Trucking Chevrolet, enters his ... More car during qualifying for the NASCAR Cup Series Ally 400 at Nashville Superspeedway on June 29, 2024 in Lebanon, Tennessee. (Photo by) Corey LaJoie is going back to where it all began—or close enough. The veteran NASCAR driver is set to return to Spire Motorsports to run nine of the final 13 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series races of 2025, starting with this Saturday's DQS Solutions and Staffing 200 at Michigan International Speedway. LaJoie, who spent three full-time seasons driving Spire's No. 7 Chevrolet in the NASCAR Cup Series, will now strap into the No. 07 Chevrolet Silverado as the team mounts a charge for a Truck Series owner's championship berth. He'll return again at Richmond on August 15, then take the wheel for the final seven races of the season—presumably with the intention of disrupting the playoff picture and reminding everyone he's not quite done chasing trophies. All of this while juggling a new role as one of the lead analysts on Amazon Prime's NASCAR coverage, which launched during the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte. LaJoie's easygoing personality and sharp insights have made him a natural fit for the broadcast booth, where he now moonlights as a media personality between race weekends. CONCORD, NORTH CAROLINA - MAY 25: NASCAR analyst Carl Edwards (L) and Corey LaJoie are seen on the ... More NASCAR on Amazon Prime Video set prior to the NASCAR Cup Series Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway on May 25, 2025 in Concord, North Carolina. (Photo by Jared C. Tilton/Getty Images) 'I put in a lot of work in the early days to help shape Spire Motorsports,' said LaJoie. 'It'll be good to see some familiar faces and get back to chasing wins. These trucks have shown speed this year, and with some consistency, we can make a real push for the owner's playoffs.' FEATURED | Frase ByForbes™ Unscramble The Anagram To Reveal The Phrase Pinpoint By Linkedin Guess The Category Queens By Linkedin Crown Each Region Crossclimb By Linkedin Unlock A Trivia Ladder That push is more than wishful thinking. The No. 07 truck is already a race winner this season—thanks to Kyle Larson, who took it to Victory Lane at Homestead back in March. With six races left before the playoff field is locked, Spire currently sits among the top seven in the owner's standings. A win from LaJoie at Michigan or Richmond could seal their spot. LaJoie has kept a relatively light driving schedule in 2025, with a trio of Cup Series starts for Rick Ware Racing and a season-best finish of 22nd in the Daytona 500. But his time behind the wheel has never been the full story. LaJoie is one of those rare NASCAR personalities who can explain the sport in plain English while keeping things entertaining—a skill that's now being put to use on Amazon's five-race broadcast slate. As for his Truck Series experience, it's admittedly limited—just five starts, three with Spire. His best finish came over a decade ago at Bristol, and his most recent run ended in a last-lap wreck at Daytona this past February. Still, his reputation for getting the most out of underdog equipment makes him a compelling option for a team on the playoff bubble. Spire Motorsports co-owner Jeff Dickerson, never one for excess sentimentality, admitted the idea had been floating around for a while. 'When we were talking about what we needed to go chase this championship, we kept describing a guy who sounded exactly like Corey,' Dickerson said. 'So I just asked him. He's a big part of what we've built, and this gives us a shot to do something meaningful together again.' The DQS Solutions and Staffing 200 airs live on FOX Saturday, June 7 at noon ET. If things go right, LaJoie may find himself in the mix for a title—or at least with enough material for a great story on live television.

Oklahoma City, OK (WATE) — For the second time in three seasons, Tennessee's stay in Oklahoma City ends in the Women's College World Series semifinals.

Texas starting pitcher Mac Morgan pitched four scoreless innings, allowing three hits and striking out one as she picked up the win.

The Longhorns had a great opportunity to take the lead in the bottom of the third. Texas loaded the bases with a pair of singles and a walk. However, Pickens was able to get out of the jam with a strikeout and groundout. After arguing balls and strikes, Tennessee assistant coach Craig Snider was ejected in the top of the fourth inning. Laura Mealer followed that up with a walk with two outs, but yet another groundout kept the Lady Vols off the board. Texas broke the tie in the bottom of the fourth. Katie Stewart sent a solo shot over the left field wall to give the Longhorns a 1-0 lead. Pickens responded by striking out the next three batters to keep it a one-run game.
