Down went Oklahoma. Texas Tech took down the softball Goliath Sooners on Tuesday with a walk-off sacrifice fly in the seventh inning to punch its ticket to the Women’s College World Series championship.
This was the second loss the Red Raiders handed out to the Sooners in the 2025 WCWS behind $1 million pitcher and power hitter NiJaree Canady. The Stanford transfer was in the circle in the seventh inning with two outs when Sooners outfielder Abby Dayton hit a 245-foot two-run homer to tie the game in the top of the seventh and final inning.
The Raiders will take on 2024 and 2022 runners-up Texas. The Longhorns advanced by taking down the Tennessee Lady Volunteers behind a combined 2-0 shutout performance by Mac Morgan and Teagan Kavan. Texas scored their runs on a solo home run by Katie Stewart in the fourth inning and a throwing error to score Joley Mitchell in the eighth inning.
A chance at a program-first NCAA title is on the line and CBS Sports HQ will be boots on the ground for the Final. The Longhorns are one of the best hitting teams in the nation, while the Red Raiders are expected to deploy arguably the best pitcher in the nation.
Here are the top players to watch for each…
