Texas Tech vs Texas Picks & Predictions

The key question is whether Texas Tech can maintain momentum after their giant-killing WCWS semifinal performance.

In a dramatic game, the Red Raiders came from a 2-0 deficit against the Sooners, with Abigale Dayton hitting a game-tying two-run homer with just one strike left in the seventh inning.

Texas Tech bounced back with Mihyia Davis singling and Hailey Toney doubling, setting up Lauren Allred’s walk-off sac fly for a 3-2 victory.

They will heavily rely on Stanford transfer Nijaree Canaday, the team’s star pitcher and hitter, holding a top NCAA ERA of 0.86, leading her team to victory in each outing.
