It's Taylor Tinsley in the circle against Williams. And away we go on a first pitch SWING FROM WILLIAMS. THRILLED OFF THE TOP OF THE WALL IN center field. Inches away from a first pitch home run salvo as Williams ignites the Red Raiders crowd. A long single. Maya Davis goes after the first pitch into the gap and left over the glove of Riley Slip. Williams to third base and a Jerry Glasco stop sign. Two pitches, two in scoring position. Here's Lauren Allred, who does swing at the first pitch. A little change up. The play at first is not in time. The play at home is late. THE PLAY AT THIRD IS THERE. And this is basically like a swinging bunt from All Red. Mia Williams is so fast. She is such a good athlete. She knows that once she throws it, she can
go ahead and go home. Mia Williams is such a great athlete. Great dive. and Davis trying to take that backside third base. already seen a couple of them in Williams and Liss 3-2 pitch a called strike three on that beautiful change up Marty Abzishian the plate umpire get and a ground ball to the left side here gets past the third baseman Alejandre and the shorts stop Garcia hangs on to it the two- two pitch on the ground right side Bragg is there Tinsley takes care of Terry one and one to the all-American and slim ground ball over to shortstop. Haley Tony is there for the out and the two- two pitch.
It drilled her. A first team all-American, a third time all-American, one of the great hitters in UCLA history. And she rips this ball to center field. She's alive now. Willery makes her mark on this World Series, taking Nigerie Kennedy deep for a go-ahead two-run home run in the first. That's her first home run at this World Series. Look at this pitch location and how she gets her barrel up to this rise ball. There's not very many hitters that can hit this pitch out like that. Jordan Wooly going on in there. Swing and a miss. Nice bounce back by Niga. Gets the strike out of Alina Garcia.
Career home run number 78. The only active player with more is the one she drove in. Megan Grant. Six pitch to Burns from Tinsley. That is hit of the year to deep left field. Jazzy Burns ties the game. Just enough LOVE TO GET IT OUT OF HERE. And an immediate Red Raider answer back from Burns out just like that. But she has been quiet at the Women's College World Series, 0 for seven with three strikeouts and as a home run hitter putting up big home run hitter numbers last year. You know her seeing the ball off her bat in a monster tournament a year ago. Only one for 11 in the tourney this year. And she strikes out looking on the change up to And this ball's absolutely scalded down
the line at third. Slip gets to it quickly. Mia is having a problem right now. She's hitting the ball too hard. Maya Davis. Ground ball through the left side. Pass to draw in Alejandra. Base hit for Davis. And that's an all red walk. Mike Murwell says no swing. An enormous pitch for Tinsley. And it's ball four to walk in a run. Four straight two out base runners. Thirsty for more. Ground ball towards short. Garcia's got it on the way to first. On track to stay at Texas Tech. Daniah Brag waits back on her change up and knocks it into left field. Second hit for UCLA. But her college career is winding down. strikes out Barry. 71 down and in and a second K for Kennedy. 32 Texas Tech and that change up is strike three. If
at first you don't get the call. You've had that closeness with somebody like Tinsley, then you know even a little bit more than what the scavenger reports provide. A swing and a miss on a change up. Three strikeouts have all been on the change for Tinsley. Have batted third at one time or another. Strike three called and Tinsley bounces back with a one, two, three inning. One of those seniors facing the sophomore Riley Slim and Slint elevates the ball to LEFT AND GETS BY THE former Bruin Terry. Slim to second base and she'll hold there. A
misplay by Terry in left field turns into a slimp double. One, two, THREE, AND A MISS. SHE STRIKES OUT the Titanic Grant. A payoff pitch outside ball for Kennedy. First time through and Alina Garcia takes a pitch up and in. Get that off the bat. Base is loaded for Alejandre, the freshman Phenom. And she IS HIT AS WELL. BACKTO back pitches. Kennedy hits Garcia and Alejandra to force in a run.
Bragg just trying to fight her way back here though on 02 and she strikes out swinging. A Terry taked down. A one-two pitch. Ramirez to center field. Hit it high. Not deep enough. Davis is there. Terry gets out of a bases loaded jam. Haley Tony with a ground ball that will get through for a leadoff base hit and Mia Williams. One of those transfers is hit. Corners are weighing. Davis swinging away. Ground ball to Brag. It's second. All red leans back on one to left. Slip makes a catch and foul ground, but that will score Tony and a sack fly. It's 4-3 Texas Tech and is hitting 414 with two
strikes, but she has just struck out for a second time. Pretty amazing group of players returning next year. Terry with another strikeout. Three up, three down with two Ks out of the bullpen. Seventh pitch to Lamar and down she goes. Terry is throwing smoke. Slim with a high drive on 3-1. And this is a one, two, three, fourth for Caitlyn Terry. Five outs away to freshman JC Nicholls in the nin spot. Broken up with a knock as Taylor Panel grounds the ball to Alina Garcia. Panel is one for three.
Dangerous count here for Tinsley. 3-1. No swing by Terry and that'll be a walk. Pitch number nine coming. 43 Tech in this elimination game. That might be a fair ball into the right field corner. GRANT'S GOT IT UP against the wall. Terry takes second as Burns just missed a two homer game. Victoria Valdez. First pitch swinging into left center field. Who's going to get it? Oh, it's Slip. Another outfield collision. We've had several of those here at the World Series. And Slip hangs on for dear life in a scoreless fifth. Perfect in an inning and two/3. And Grant sends a highf fly ball to left field shy of the warning track. The new left fielder is Michaela Garcia and she retires Grant against Terry.
She will not. Caitlyn Terry owns the circle and right now she owns Oklahoma City. Two-2. Fly ball blasted to center by Williams. It's got the height. It's got the distance. And Texas Tech has the insurance, extending her school single season record. Number 25 and it's 53 Red Raiders. Cover the outside pitch so well. She is so powerful, such a good athlete. The ball just feels like it trampolines off of her bat, especially on the outer half. that she says to the crowd, "Come on." That ball is another sizzler off a Red
Raider bat. Davis with a hit after the Williams home run. Seen her so much in this game. 3-2 pitch. Ball four. Aculus, the Red Raiders leader in slugging percentage. It is inside. It is ball four. It is another bases loaded situation coming up for Texas Tech. Panled a shallow right. Here comes Grant Davis. One of the fastest runners in the game is safe at home. Two run sixth inning for Texas Tech. Terry left field. She'll get back into the circle now. She left it with a one-run lead. The advantage has swelled to three.
Showing her rise ball when she needs to like that. She's just spinning the ball in a different type of way than what we've seen from her in the last couple of weeks. Florida was so on her. Terry and Kennedy were both giving up runs. It's deceptive about the way that she's throwing. Something is they're just not seeing her well like that. I mean that is the first mistake that has been hit off of Terry Ramirez down to third. This could be two. It is around the horn. An inning ending double play. All right. Go ahead. Jazzy had some practice at it. Fly ball from Valdez and this is Lamar in center for the first out. Throw 143 against Nebraska.
Ground ball to short. Garcia's on it. Safe the call at second. She's just blistered three balls today. And she gets under this one. Shallow left field. And the new left fielder. And Davis has added three more tonight. She's three for four, seven for 11 at the World Series. And she takes high throw to third and Garcia who stole home against UCLA last year cannot steal third. And Grant and Willery. And Suarez puts a charge into this one. Off the bench into the bleachers. Ramsay Suarez with a jolt of energy into that UCLA dugout which has spelled around home plate. A pinch hit home run.
It's six to four and UCLA will bring the tying run to the on deck circle. Nothing like it coming off the bench as a pitch hitter and getting one of those mistakes that we talked about for Terry. She's leaving some pitches early in the count out over the heart and Ramsay just connects with it. 270 ft. A no doubter. She Lea's last hit May 8th against Wisconsin until now. An opposite field knock for Leva. NOBODY IS OUT. THE TOP OF THE ORDER IS COMING UP and UCLA will bring up Slip AS A TYING RUN. Three harder knots to get against three all-ameans. Slip down swinging.
There's one and a big one for Kennedy to the World Series stage once more. Fly ball from Grant. It's into shallow left. It's playable for Spearman. And it's the second out of the inning. And a young woman who homered off of Kennedy in the first, Jordan Willery. FLY BALL TO CENTER. JORDAN WILLERY DOES IT AGAIN. Always has this brewing magic here in Oklahoma City. Jordan Woolry, she didn't want the 70 mph mistake over the heart of the plate. She wanted the change up out of the hand of Kennedy. One of the best to ever do it, the back flip tying up the game. But she doesn't get a chance without Suarez and Leva. Jordan Wolverry continues to be one of the most clutch hitters that has ever played at
this UCLA program. My goodness, what a moment. And she wants the fans to love it up. Picked her up. The rare occasion Megan Grant does make an out. Now Davis down to first. And who's there but Willery? 156th pitch from Tinsley tonight. Ground ball to first. Busy little stretch here for Jordan. Fly ball right center. Stays in the park for Lamar. And the UCLA Bruins, the 12time national champions, need just one run for the semifinals. The two- two pitch, strike three swinging. And at least for the moment here, KT's got her groove back. One thing that we noticed about Bragg is she is really good hitting it to the opposite side of the field where the sprinklers just went off.
Back door curve at strike three called. into left center field. That is in for a base hit. Ramirez just floated it off the end of the bat. Na Kennedy in her 17th World Series game. STRIKES OUT SUAREZ TO SEND us into the ninth. 13 strikeouts for Texas Tech pitching. Seven hits in the first two innings. Four hits in the last six. And here's another one. A line drive for Panel. And Texas Tech gets the lead off runner aboard on a panel laser.
Corners are in. Expecting Terry to potentially butt. She's sure not going to butt. This ball blistered to the gap and played off the wall. Kicks away from Slim. Here comes Paddle. TEXAS TECH TAKES THE LEAD. Caitlyn Terry comes through in the batters box. THE EXACT KIND OF swing Jerry Glasco thought he could get this year out of Caitlyn Terry. Pull your hips and drive your legs. That's what Jerry Glasco likes to tell Caitlyn Terry and it's exactly what she did. She went up looking to hit. She missed that first mistake in her first swing that was out over the plate. Hit
an even better pitch that was off the plate from Tinsley. Determined to get a hit and give herself the lead. Leading on it 170 pitches in. Ground ball to shortstop. Garcia from her knees does not throw it. Did that hit her? It did. Oh my goodness. Most pitches thrown at the World Series since Rachel Garcia, another pitcher in that UCLA legacy. Threw 179 in 2019. So pitch number 176. Now 22 struck her out. Very similar pitch. Another payoff swing and a miss. No strikeouts in a 22 batter span. She gets two straight with the bases loaded. Not giving in and getting the chase.
Tony and Williams both chasing the drop ball down in the dirt, helping Taylor Tinsley out. And they just continue to go to that drop ball, show a little bit of rise. Maya Davis to shortstop. GARCIA BOBBLES INTO THE RUN SCORES. NOW THEY'VE GOT SPEARMAN hung up and at the plate. Spearman will be tagged out. They normally sureanded Garcia. Bobbles the ground ball and another run scores. Texas Tech gets two in the ninth and leads it 8-6. And a ground ball through the right side is a base hit. And that means Megan Grant once more represents the tying run. A
3-1 from Caitlyn Terry. Not even close to the back stop. Ball four. This is going to be a tough out for Terry. Facing Terry for the second time in the game. She blasts it through the middle for a base hit. The tying run. Grant to second. The winning run. Woolly to first. Five RBI's for Jordan in the game. Bruins fight back to make it 8-7. Garcia 0 for three in the game. Hit by a pitch from Kennedy and swings at the first pitch and pops it up. Here's Terry once again in the center of the action. And once again, UCLA is down to its final out with the semifinals on the line. NISA KENNEDY IS NOT DONE yet and neither is Texas Tech.
87 the final. Red Raiders win it in nine.
