Mia Scott hit a grand slam, Teagan Kavan claimed another win and Texas defeated Texas Tech 10-4 in Game 3 of the Women’s College World Series championship series on Friday night to win its first national title.
Kavan, a sophomore, allowed no earned runs in all 31 2/3 innings she pitched at the World Series.
She went 4-0 with a save in the World Series for the Longhorns (56-12).
Texas Tech star pitcher NiJaree Canady, who had thrown every pitch for the Red Raiders through their first five World Series games, was pulled after one inning in Game 3.
She gave up five runs on five hits and only threw 25 pitches.
Not even support from former Texas Tech football star Patrick Mahomes and his wife, Brittany, who were in attendance, could put the Red Raiders (54-14) over the top.
Texas had lost to Oklahoma in the championship series two of the previous three years.
Oklahoma was one of the teams Texas beat on its way to the championship.
