Texas Tech evens WCWS, sets up winner-take-all showdown vs Texas Longhorns softball Friday
Texas softball coach Mike White tried to win Game 2 of the Women's College World Series without having to use Longhorns ace pitcher Teagan Kavan. Or at least save her for a possible late save. Instead, Longhorns pitchers made key mistakes resulting in a Red Raiders win to even the final best-of-three series at 1-1. The bad omens may have started early for Texas. The game was delayed almost an hour by inclement weather. Advertisement Once the game started, UT pitchers Mac Morgan and Cambria Salmon managed to work out of several jams in the first four innings. But in the fifth, Tech loaded the bases against Salmon, who then hit Alana Johnson and then threw a wild pitch to give the Red Raiders a 2-0 lead. The Horns got one back in the top of the sixth on a Mia Scott home run to lead off the inning. UT pitcher Citlaly Gutierrez put two on in the bottom of the inning thanks to some sloppy fielding behind her. A Joley Mitchell throwing error put runners at second and third with one out. Smith turned to Kavan to hopefully stop the bleeding. Instead, a sacrifice fly to center and Mitchell's second error of the inning ballooned the Tech lead to 4-1. The Longhorns put together the beginnings of a rally in the top of the seventh, scoring two runs on a Leighann Goode double and a Katie Cimusz sac fly. But it was too little too late. Red Raiders ace NiJaree Canady struck out Kayden Henry to end the game. Advertisement Canady pitched her second complete game of the Championship series. In fact, Canady has thrown every pitch for the Red Raiders from the beginning of the Super Regionals on. Now there is just one decisive game for the national championship. Game 3 is a winner-take-all duel between aces Canady for Texas Tech and Kavan for Texas. First pitch will be Friday at 7 p.m. CT on ESPN. Follow us on X (formerly Twitter) at @LonghornsWire.

Sophie Cunningham Sends Clear Message After Fever's Win Without Her
Sophie Cunningham Sends Clear Message After Fever's Win Without Her originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Indiana Fever defeated the Washington Mystics with a final score of 85-76 on Tuesday evening, finally breaking their three-game losing streak. Advertisement Indiana opened a tight game with a dominant third quarter, led by Kelsey Mitchell's 24 points and Lexie Hull's 14 points. Aari McDonald, whom the Fever signed via an emergency hardship exception, also made her Fever debut and added to the team's depth in the backcourt. The team's strong defense and hustle plays kept the Mystics off balance, holding them to just 1-of-10 from beyond the arc. Despite being out with an ankle injury and a chipped tooth, Fever guard Sophie Cunningham was still all smiles at Gainbrige Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. Before the game started, the Stanford alum spent time signing autographs and taking selfies with fans. During the actual game, she and her teammate, Caitlin Clark, who is also out for the next week due to a quad injury, cheered their team on from the sidelines. Indiana Fever guards Lexie Hull, Caitlin Clark and Sophie CunninghamMandatory Credit: Grace Smth- INDIANAPOLIS STAR-Imagn Images In a video posted by the Fever's official X account moments after their win, they caught many of the players, including Aliyah Boston, Hull and Natasha Howard, running out of the tunnel and feeling great after the win. Advertisement The last player to be featured was Cunningham. Though she did not play today due to her injury, she was just as overjoyed. The 28-year-old athlete walked out wearing a black tube top and a pair of black pants. Her long blonde hair was in a half-up-half-down, and she accessorized the look with a simple gold cross necklace and two pairs of gold hoop earrings. "That's a good-looking dub,' Cunningham said with a smile. 'Woo, happy days!' The 28-year-old athlete sustained her right ankle injury during the Fever's preseason game against the Atlanta Dream on May 10, causing her to miss the season opener against the Chicago Sky that happened a week later. She then re-injured the same ankle in the fourth quarter of the game against the Connecticut Sun last Friday, further sidelining her. Advertisement An hour before the game between the Fever and the Mystics started, Fever head coach Stephanie White was asked during a pregame press conference if there were any updates on Cunningham's ankle injury and Clark's quad injury. "No. Not yet," White simply responded. "Sorry. I wish." The Fever will be playing against the Chicago Sky at the United Center on Saturday at 8 p.m. ET (7 p.m. CT). It is highly unlikely that Cunningham will be playing this weekend, because her re-evaluation is scheduled for next Monday.
