Texas beats Texas Tech 10-4 in decisive 3rd game of WCWS to win its 1st national championship
OKLAHOMA CITY — Mia Scott hit a grand slam, Teagan Kavan claimed another win and Texas defeated Texas Tech 10-4 in Game 3 of the Women's College World Series championship series on Friday night to win its first national title. Kavan, a sophomore, allowed no earned runs in all 31 2/3 innings she pitched at the World Series. She went 4-0 with a save in the World Series for the Longhorns (56-12). Texas Tech star pitcher NiJaree Canady, who had thrown every pitch for the Red Raiders through their first five World Series games, was pulled after one inning in Game 3. She gave up five runs on five hits and only threw 25 pitches. Not even support from former Texas Tech football star Patrick Mahomes and his wife, Brittany, who were in attendance, could put the Red Raiders (54-14) over the top. Texas had lost to Oklahoma in the championship series two of the previous three years. Oklahoma was one of the teams Texas beat on its way to the championship. ___ AP sports:

Who won WCWS championship? Longhorns earn first title in school history in dominant Game 3 Show Caption Hide Caption Why Texas Tech, Texas will win 2025 WCWS It's a Lone Star State Women's College World Series this year, and reporter Jenni Carlson breaks down one reason Texas Tech will win and one reason Texas will win the WCWS. For the first time in program history, Texas has reached the mountaintop of the college softball world. In what was an all-around dominating performance, the sixth-seeded Longhorns defeated No. 12 Texas Tech 10-4 in Game 3 of the Women's College World Series championship series. With the win at Devon Park on June 6, Texas became the first program since Florida State in 2018 to be crowned as a first-time national champion. It also snaps a two-series losing streak in the WCWS championship for head coach Mike White after losing two of the last three finals to Oklahoma. REQUIRED READING: Texas softball vs Texas Tech live score: Longhorns dominating Red Raiders in decisive Game 3 Texas didn't take long to get to Texas Tech ace NiJaree Canady, who was starting her eighth consecutive game dating back to the super regional round of the NCAA softball tournament. The Longhorns plated five runs in the bottom of the first inning with back-to-back RBI singles from Reese Atwood and Katie Stewart and a three-run home run from Leighann Goode. Longhorns third baseman Mia Scott put Texas in double figures with the first grand slam at the WCWS in 15 years in the bottom of the fourth. Scott also flashed the leather of her glove in the top of the second inning with a play at the hot corner. It wasn't only Texas' bats that dominated in Game 3 of the WCWS championship series — and the WCWS as a whole — as sophomore ace Teagan Kavan was once again stellar on the mound. The West Des Moines native set a new WCWS record with 31 2/3 consecutive scoreless innings across six games at the WCWS this year; as all four of the runs she gave up on the night were unearned. Here's what you need to know on who won Game 3 of the WCWS championship series between Texas-Texas Tech on June 6, including a look at the boxscore, stats, highlights and more: Who won the WCWS? Texas came out on top in the 2025 WCWS championship series by taking two games in the best-of-three series against Texas Tech.

Texas took Game 1 of the WCWS championship series on June 4 with a 2-1 victory over Texas Tech. It was Atwood who came up clutch in Game 1 for the Longhorns, as she slapped a two-RBI single into left field on the fourth pitch of what would have been an intentional walk out of the palm of Canady.
