Live updates and score for Texas UIL softball semifinal between Midway and Flower Mound

The Texas UIL softball playoffs have reached the semifinals, and the Lone Star State has its share of top-ranked contenders battling for a shot at the national title.

Three Texas teams, in fact, occupy the No. 2-4 slots in the latest edition of the MaxPreps national rankings. That includes the No. 2 Lake Creek [Montgomery] Lions, No. 3 Melissa Cardinals, and No. 4 Barbers Hill [Mt. Belvieu] Eagles. Just a few slots back are the Midway [Waco] Panthers, sitting in the No. 10 position.

Midway might be too far back to make a late run at the national title with so many teams in front of them, and they enter game two of their best-of three series against the Flower Mound Jaguars in a 1-0 hold. They'll have to win the final two games of the series to advance to next week's UIL Class 6A Division I state championship series.

Game time for the second game is set for 7 p.m. EST/6 p.m. CST local.
