Patrick Mahomes was in his feelings throughout Texas Tech's thrilling win
Patrick Mahomes was in his feelings throughout Texas Tech's thrilling win Show Caption Hide Caption Why Texas Tech could blow up the 2025 WCWS bracket The Oklahoman's Jenni Carlson breaks down why Texas Tech and NiJaree Canady will be the team to break the Women's College World Series bracket this year. Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes celebrated Texas Tech's dramatic Women's College World Series win over Oklahoma by doing what many of us do during sports ― live posting his emotions. Frankly, we don't blame him. The last few days of postseason softball have been so good, and there have been many thrilling moments, including Monday's semifinal between the Red Raiders and the Sooners. Texas Tech ended Oklahoma's incredible five-peat bid ― yes, you read that correctly ― in dramatic fashion with a 3-2 win to punch their ticket to the World Series for the first time in program history. Here's how we got to Mahomes tweeting through the game. In the second inning, utility player Bailey Lindemuth hit a single into center field. That hit allowed outfielder Demi Elder, already on third base, to score, giving Texas Tech a 2-0 lead. That's when Mahomes rattled off his first tweet. He dropped three exclamation emojis and tagged the Red Raiders X account. Texas Tech kept Oklahoma from scoring for four innings with some excellent pitching from superstar ace NiJaree Candady and stellar defense from the team. But, Oklahoma is a dynasty for a reason, and down to their last possible out and last strike, outfielder Abby Dayton hit a two-run homer to tie it up. Oh, the drama. Mahomes, still watching, shared the saddest possible GIF of a child with a frown. However, Mahomes wasn't down for long because, minutes later, he posted "Go win it!", tagging Texas Tech's account again. Perhaps they heard him because outfielder Mihyia Davis hit a single, and her teammate Hailey Toney hit a clutch double off the wall, pushing Davis to 3rd. Then, the Red Raiders created a little magic with a timely fly ball from infielder Lauren Allred, sending Davis home and Texas Tech to the World Series. As you can imagine, Mahomes was seemingly stoked. He probably shouted when he tweeted "Ah! Let's go!" with a bunch of letters and then a Texas Tech GIF. Watching the Kansas City quarterback post his way through the Red Raiders' semifinal game was fantastic, and we can't wait to see him continue the journey for the Women's College World Series.
