The Women’s College World Series continues to determine the final two berths in the semi-finals of the NCAA softball tournament. Alabama and Tennessee await the winners of Day 4’s games in Monday’s WCWS semi-finals.
Red Raiders Prepare for Bruins Showdown
Texas Tech face UCLA in the second game. UCLA defeated Arkansas. Texas Tech lost to Tennessee.
Kaitlyn Terry took over on the mound for Texas Tech. She didn’t allow a run in the third inning. Terry got consecutive outs to end the frame, and the game went into the fourth tied at 3-3.
Terry pitched a 1-2-3 fourth after getting out of the jame in the third and has now retired five consecutive batters since taking the mound. Texas Tech maintained a 4-3 lead heading into the bottom of the fourth.
Texas Clinch Victory Over Nebraska
Texas trailed Nebraska. Jordy Frahm appeared to be on her way to WCWS history by allowing no hits. Frahm’s gem imploded in the sixth on consecutive one-out singles from Jaycie Nichols and Kayden Henry.
Katie Stewart then launched the second pitch she saw from Frahm down the left-field line for a three-run homer. The Longhorns advance to face the Volunteers in Monday’s first semi-final matchup. Nebraska are eliminated from the tournament.
Canady’s Early Exit
Texas Tech starter NiJaree Canady was out in the third inning after losing control. Canady loaded the bases with a hit-by-pitch of Makayla Garcia. She then hit Bri Alejandre to score a run and tie the game at 3-3 on the very next pitch. That’s three hit batters and a walk by Canady in 2 1/3 innings, and her day was done.
The Red Raiders put two runner on with no outs, and Lauren Allred plated Hailey Toney from third base via sac fly on a deep line drive to left field.
