For just the seventh time in the history of the Women’s College World Series<\/a>, the very, very last possible day on the college softball calendar will be played.
From Devon Park in Oklahoma City, welcome to Game 3 of the WCWS championship series<\/a>.
Texas Tech<\/a> and NiJaree Canady<\/a> avoided a second straight heartbreaking loss on June 5, staving off a late top-of-the-seventh comeback by Texas to defeat the Longhorns 4-3 in Game 2<\/a> of the best-of-three series.
In front of former Texas Tech and Kansas City Chiefs<\/a> quarterback Patrick Mahomes,<\/a> Texas Tech scored four runs across the fifth and sixth innings to jump out to a 4-1 lead going into the seventh inning. Canady<\/a>, who has an NIL deal worth over $1 million<\/a>, bounced back from adversity in the seventh inning to get Kayden Henry to strike out and end the game.
One intriguing storyline going into Game 3 between the Longhorns and Red Raiders will be who starts inside the circle for both teams. The likely candidate for Texas is sophomore Teagan Kavan<\/a>, who came on in relief in the Game 2 loss. For Texas Tech, it is almost certain that it will be Canady, who has thrown every single pitch for the Red Raiders since the start of the super regional round of the NCAA softball tournament.
