Texas Tech's NiJaree Canady snuffs Texas comeback attempt to even WCWS
OKLAHOMA CITY — Maybe there is something in the air at this Women's College World Series causing close and wild games.
But on Thursday, the last remnants hanging in the wind were the 'Guns Up' hand gestures of Texas Tech fans.

With Texas knocking, climbing back from a three-run hole to bring the game within a score, NiJaree Canady delivered three rise balls on the outside corner to strike out Kayden Henry and ice the 4-3 victory in the top of the seventh for Texas Tech.
Stomp, stomp.
Canady recorded six strikeouts and two walks in a bounce-back performance in Game 2 of the WCWS to even the title chase with Texas at a game apiece, setting the stage for the winner-take-all Game 3 on Friday at 8 p.m. ET
Both teams are seeking their first-ever national championship.
