White gets his celebration

In their eighth trip to the WCWS, the Longhorns finally win a national championship, beating the Red Raiders Imagn Images Texas has won the college softball national title. After finishing as the national runners-up two times in the previous three years, the Longhorns have their first title with a 10-4 win over Texas Tech at the Women's College World Series. It came in Texas' eighth trip to the WCWS. It's also Texas coach Mike White's first title as the Longhorns scored five runs in the first inning and led the rest of the way. A three-run home run by Leighann Goode and a grand slam by Mia Scott sparked the Texas offense, and Teagan Kavan was brilliant in the circle. GO FURTHER Texas thumps Texas Tech for first Women's College World Series championship in program history Connections: Sports Edition Spot the pattern. Connect the terms Find the hidden link between sports terms FINALLY! Mike White gets his Gatorade bath!!! He said it's a "surreal" moment, and I can't even imagine. What a long road to finally get to the top and what an impact he has had on this sport. What an insanely incredible career for Mia Scott. She provided firepower on both sides of the ball her entire career and showed up on the biggest state here in OKC. If there were co-MOPs, she would have joined Teagan Kavan. Your WCWS MVP: Teagan Kavan. Her 31-2/3 innings without an earned run is a tournament record, and she has been invaluable to this team from the moment she stepped into the circle with the Longhorns. So, so awesome to see, all with her grandma Miney watching over her. The Longhorns had a bit of a roller-coaster year, especially in the last month of the season. Even in the Super Regionals, Clemson had this Texas team on the ropes until the very last second. This has been utter grit from the Longhorns all postseason, and the moment is finally theirs. That's a huge win for Texas, obviously — and a major one for Longhorns ace Tegan Kavan, too. With the win Friday, Kavan passed Cat Osterman for most wins (six) at the WCWS in Texas softball history. Osterman is widely considered one of the best players in the history of college softball to never win a national championship. Given that the righty is just a sophomore, it's likely she'll be able to pad that record the next couple of years. IT'S OVER! TEXAS HAS FINALLY DONE IT! The first-ever championship in program history for the Longhorns, and a long-awaited title for legendary coach Mike White. What an all-around performance from the Longhorns tonight, and they've finally overcome the demons that have haunted them in this WCWS for the last few years. Any chance we could get Judge Wilken to rule on how dumb the obstruction rule (and endless reviews) are? It's only 7:20 on the West Coast, I'm sure she's still awake It was definitely a risky move by Mihyia Davis to go on a ball that was in short left field, right in front of Katie Stewart. And while the rule is that the fielder has to allow a lane for the runner to get to the base, Mia Scott already had the ball in her glove by the time Davis got to the bag, so she can do whatever she wants at that point. This is a big call if this obstruction rule stands. It doesn't stand. It wouldn't be a WCWS championship game without an obstruction call. This is the wackiest WCWS ever, and you cannot convince me otherwise! Oh my, Katie Stewart just went ALL OUT for that one against the wall. She went full speed into the left-field wall in foul territory to take in that ball off the bat of Alexa Langeliers, and she just bounced off of that thing like it was nothing. She has made some great plays this entire tournament but has kind of flown under the radar. Now that we're in the seventh, the run rule does not matter: These are the last licks for Texas Tech against Teagan Kavan and Texas, as we have another pinch hitter for the Red Raiders. One interesting thing I've noticed is that some of these Texas Tech hitters are going with split grips on their bats, especially the lefties. It helps to have a little more bat control and shortens up your swing, which helps against a pitcher with the speed and movement of Kavan. T7 - Texas 10, Texas Tech 3 The Red Raiders will need a HUGE rally to keep this one going. Here we go. If you didn't think Kayden Henry was fast, she just stretched a misplayed ball by shortstop Hailey Toney that dribbled into the outfield into a double, with ease. Keep in mind, with the Longhorns coming up to the plate, they need just one run to end this thing and claim the national championship. They have newly anointed program single-season hits leader Ashton Maloney coming to the plate to get things going. B6 - Texas 10, Texas Tech 3 Teagan Kavan settles things back down and still hasn't allowed an earned run in this WCWS. Texas is three outs away from a title and can avoid the top of the seventh with a run here in the bottom of the sixth to walk it off. We saw this last night: Errors have been a problem for this Longhorns defense in the series. Texas had four last night, and that's its third tonight, marking 18 total for this series. That was a great stop by Leighann Goode at short on that ball from Alana Johnson, but Goode overthrows it to put a runner on for Texas Tech. Can the Red Raiders keep putting on the pressure?

Texas routs Texas Tech to secure first Women's College World Series title in program history

The Texas Longhorns won the Women's College World Series in dominant fashion, blowing out Texas Tech 10-4 in Friday's winner-take-all Game 3 to clinch the program's first-ever national championship in softball. Despite Red Raiders superstar pitcher NiJaree Canady returning to the pitcher's mound after her complete-game win on Thursday, the Longhorns did not back down from the challenge to face one of softball's best players. Texas lit up the junior righthander, scoring five runs in the first inning, knocking the 21-year-old, two-time first team All-American out of the game early. A dejected Canady, who made national headlines earlier on Friday, after signing a second $1 million-plus NIL deal to keep her in Lubbock, Texas, for her senior year, according to the Associated Press, allowed the most runs in an inning in her illustrious career that started at Stanford. After left fielder Katie Stewart added another Texas run to extend the lead to 6-0 in the third inning, it was third baseman Mia Scott who made the biggest name for herself. In the fourth inning, the senior mashed a grand slam to break the game open with a 10-0 lead. Scott garnered the respect of Kansas City Chiefs star quarterback and Texas Tech alum Patrick Mahomes, who was at Devon Park in Oklahoma City watching his alma mater along with his wife, Brittany. 3rd baseman for Texas is cold.. Like Mahomes has done many times in his career, the Red Raiders put forth a valid effort to get back into the game. Tech scored three runs in the fifth inning while adding another in the seventh inning, but it proved to be too little, too late after Longhorns starting pitcher Teagan Kavan got Lauren Allred to ground out to seal the victory. Texas players rushed the mound to embrace Kavan, who threw a masterful complete game, striking out three and allowing eight hits. The sophomore said being able to get the final out for the team 'meant the world.' 'I'm so happy for this team,' Kavan told the ESPN broadcast. 'We did it. First Natty. Let's go! My grandma, the last thing she told my brother – one of the last things was to bring home a victory and we did that for her.' Texas head coach Mike White said that it was 'surreal' to finally be lifting the trophy after coming to the school ahead of the 2019 season. 'I can't believe its happened. … For us to come out on top tonight – we're so close to being knocked out. I am speechless to tell you the truth. It doesn't happen very often. But I am so proud of our ladies.' Texas had lost to Oklahoma in the championship series two of the last three years. The Sooners, who were looking to win their fifth straight title, were defeated by the Longhorns earlier in the tournament. White added that 'in order to be the best, you got to beat the best' while calling Canady 'tough and special.'
