Why Texas Tech, Texas will win 2025 WCWS
It's a Lone Star State Women's College World Series this year, and reporter Jenni Carlson breaks down one reason Texas Tech will win and one reason Texas will win the WCWS.
In her last go-around at the Women's College World Series, Mia Scott put on a show for Texas softball.
And she may very well hit the game-winning home run amid Texas' run to its first national championship.

With the bases loaded and no outs in the bottom of the fourth inning, Scott unleashed a fastball to straight away centerfield for a grand slam to extend the Longhorns' lead to 10-0 over No. 12 Texas Tech at Devon Park in Oklahoma City.

It is the first grand slam at the Women's College World Series in 15 years, according to the ESPN broadcast.
Scott's home run off of Chloe Riassetto was her fifth career home run at the WCWS. It also unlocked a potential run-ahead victory for Texas in the fourth inning, meaning the Longhorns can put an end to the game after Texas Tech's turn at the plate in the fifth inning, as the Longhorns entered the frame ahead by at least eight runs.
A win for the Longhorns at Devon Park would send Mike White's program to the mountaintop of the college softball world for the first time in program history.
