Women's College World Series Game 2 Remains a Close Call
The Women's College World Series final continues on Thursday night as the Texas Longhorns and Texas Tech Red Raiders face off in Game 2. The game will be played at 8 PM EST and will be broadcast live on ESPN.
The Longhorns have a strong advantage in this rivalry, with a historical dominance over Texas Tech in softball. Since 2000, Texas has won 57 games against the Red Raiders, losing only 11. This dominance was evident in their last five meetings at Devon Park in Oklahoma City, where Texas has beaten Texas Tech four consecutive times.
In their most recent matchup, Texas Tech had a 1.5 (-235) spread, -115 moneyline, and U 6.5 (-135) total, but the Longhorns managed to pull off a win. Despite Texas Tech's strong performance, Texas' offense, which is the 13th best in the country in runs per game, proved to be too much for the Red Raiders' 35th ranked offense.
Texas' offense came alive in the sixth inning of Game 1, recording three of their four hits for the game. On the mound, NiJaree Canady pitched a solid game up until the sixth inning. However, Teagan Kavan, who is facing the same lineup multiple times, may have an advantage due to familiarity.
Despite Texas Tech being one of the better teams in recent memory, the game between these two rivals could go either way. Texas has shown resilience, committing four errors in the field but allowing just one run. The Longhorns will be looking to continue their winning streak against Texas Tech, which currently stands at 15 consecutive games.
The head coach of the Texas Longhorns softball team during the Women's College World Series 2023 is Mike White. With a strong team and a coach who knows how to lead them, Texas will be aiming to secure their place in the final and bring the championship trophy back to Austin.
As the two teams take to the field on Thursday night, fans can expect a close, hard-fought game between two evenly matched rivals. The Texas Longhorns and Texas Tech Red Raiders are sure to put on a show in Game 2 of the Women's College World Series final.
