The Texas Longhorns softball team is battling to stay in the Women's College World Series, facing their fourth elimination game of the postseason. The Horns are competing against Nebraska in Oklahoma City.
Earlier in the tournament, Texas secured a crucial 4-0 victory over Mississippi State, thanks to a stellar pitching performance from ace Teagan Kavan. Kavan, who had shown some struggles previously, threw a four-hit shutout, dominating the Bulldogs who failed to score in their WCWS appearances.
This win extended Texas's streak of surviving elimination games, having already overcome two such situations in their Super Regional win against Arizona State. In their current game against Nebraska, the Longhorns faced an early deficit when Jordy Frahm hit a leadoff home run, giving the Huskers a 1-0 lead. This was the first time Kavan has allowed a leadoff homer to start a game in her career.
