**Texas Triumphs Over Texas Tech to Win First Women's College World Series Championship**

In a historic victory for the Longhorns, No. 6 Texas defeated No. 12 Texas Tech with a final score of 10-4, securing their first Women's College World Series championship. This landmark win took place on Friday night at Devon Park in Oklahoma City, culminating in a 2-1 series victory.

Texas established their dominance early in the game. Following a scoreless top of the first inning from Texas Tech, the Longhorns pounced with a robust five-run surge in the bottom half. Despite her strong performance throughout the tournament, Texas Tech pitcher NiJaree Canady struggled after an initial strikeout, allowing RBI singles to Reese Atwood and Katie Stewart, which propelled Texas to a 2-0 lead. A subsequent three-run homer by Leighann Goode expanded the score to 5-0, a career-high for Canady in terms of runs allowed in a single inning.

Canady was subsequently replaced by junior Chloe Riassetto at the start of the second inning. The Longhorns continued to pile on, with Katie Stewart adding another RBI single in the third inning to stretch the lead to 6-0. The offensive onslaught continued in the fourth inning when senior Mia Scott delivered a grand slam, pushing the score to a decisive 10-0. Scott’s grand slam was particularly remarkable given she has been playing with a torn ACL.

On the mound for Texas, Teagan Kavan delivered an outstanding performance, pitching all seven innings and throwing 110 pitches. While Kavan allowed four runs, none were earned, affirming her dominance and earning her the title of Most Outstanding Player in the Women's College World Series.

Texas Tech made attempts to close the gap with three runs in the fifth inning and another in the top of the seventh. However, their efforts fell short, and a groundout by Lauren Allred concluded the game, cementing Texas’s championship victory.

Friday night's game was a stark contrast to the closely contested first two games of the series, which were each decided by a single run. This decisive win allowed Texas to make history and bring home their first Women’s College World Series championship.
