Light the Tower! Texas softball national title sets off celebration, social media frenzy
Light the Tower! As soon as the Texas Longhorns softball team secured its first NCAA National Championship with a 10-4 win over Texas Tech in Game 3 of the Women's College World Series, the celebrations started in Oklahoma City's Devon Park, on the University of Texas Campus and all over social media.
From Matthew McConaughey to Longhorns softball legend Cat Osterman to former Texas football great Eric Metcalf all posted congratulations to the first Texas team to win the WCWS title in eight tries.
On the field, the players and staff celebrated with trophies and confetti. Texas ace pitcher Teagan Kavan was named the WCWS outstanding player. Kavan didn't give up a single earned run in the tournament.
Even Texas Tech super fan Patrick Mahomes tipped his hat on Twitter.
Longhorns fans that didn't make the trip to OKC will get to celebrate with the team Saturday evening at Red & Charline McCombs Field at 6 p.m. CT. The gates open at 5 p.m. CT and admission is free.
