We are closing in on our first pitch of Game 2. 86° and 8:10…Play Ball !!!
Scoreless first inning is in the Books 📚
End of 3rd inning, TT leads 1-0 [8:56]
Texas gets a 2-out double in the top of the fourth, tying run in scoring position.
Texas strands two, and we have reached halftime, still 1-0.
Bottom 4th, TT loaded the bases but failed to expand on the 1-0 lead [9:23].
Wow !!!!! What a catch out in left field !!! Running grab with two runs that would have scored for Texas
Are you kidding me with that catch ? Once again, it’s the TT left fielder !!!!
It’s not cool that the go ahead run scores on a misque. Never want anyone to feel bad about a play. Six innings in the books 📚, Texas clinging to a 2-1 lead. [10:04]
Leadoff opposite field bomb 💣 makes it 3-1…
4-1 as we head to the bottom of the 7th inning. Down 3 much more of a hill to climb for the Red Raiders.
This year’s WCWS has definitely been a wild ride!! And it all comes to an end over the next 2-3 days. I wanted to send you my 2 cents worth, which due to the penny shortage has now been rounded up to a nickel…
As we enter the final stretch it’s notable that we have a repeat of last year’s match-up with Texas and Texas Tech. Texas has definitely had a dominant performance over the past four years and will take the field today as the defending WCWS Champs.
Texas Tech is no stranger to the spotlight either, as they have made the championship game on their first two trips to the WCWS.
With Texas being the defending Champions, and having Teagon Kavan in the Circle, and a powerful offense led by Katie Stewart, they will be “tough to beat”!!
TT is used to “tough to beat” as they swept the #1 Seed Alabama in back-to-back games to make it to tonight.
With the dominance in the circle by both NiJaree Canady and Kaitlyn Terry, along with the Mia Williams long ball, it will definitely make for an exciting WCWS!!
So, to get down to my .05 worth….. I look for THREE very competitive games with Gerry Glasgow and The Red Raiders of Texas Tech coming out Victorious.
Everyone Enjoy the Series, It’s going to be The Greatest Show On Dirt!!!
WRECK ‘EM!!!🥎🥎
