NiJaree Canady, who inked a $1 million NIL deal after transferring, helped Texas Tech defeat Oklahoma to reach the Women’s College World Series final.
Texas Tech punched its ticket to the Women’s College World Series championship series in dramatic fashion after its million-dollar arm nearly had a strong outing come crashing down when Oklahoma hit a game-tying two-run blast in the top of the seventh.
Red Raiders infielder Lauren Allred hit a sac fly to right field that allowed outfielder Mihyia Davis to score from third base, in a dramatic moment that saw Davis charge to the plate and beat out a throw from right field to win the game, 3-2, in Oklahoma City.
The game was one of the most anticipated of the year, with two-time NFCA Pitcher of the Year NiJaree Canady on the hill against Oklahoma, which has won the Women’s College World Series the last four years.
