Texas Leads WCWS Finals Against Texas Tech After Game 2

The 2025 Women's College World Series championship between Texas and Texas Tech has been marked by dramatic moments, including a rare grand slam and a pivotal pitching error. Mia Scott of Texas hit a grand slam, the first in 15 years at the WCWS, helping Texas take a commanding lead in one game and positioning the Longhorns for their first national championship. Texas Tech's NiJaree Canady, a dominant pitcher, suffered a critical mistake when she intended to intentionally walk Texas' Reese Atwood but instead threw a strike, allowing Atwood to hit a go-ahead two-run single in Game 1. The game also featured contentious replay reviews, including a close obstruction call against Texas' shortstop, which allowed Texas Tech to score and briefly take the lead. Despite Texas Tech's efforts and strong pitching performances from Canady, Texas secured a 2-1 victory in Game 1 and is one win away from the title. The series remains fiercely competitive, with Texas Tech forcing a decisive Game 3 after winning Game 2, showcasing both teams' resilience and high-level play throughout the series.
