Texas captures first-ever National Title behind Scott’s slam and Kavan’s Dominance
By Rodney Haltom sports EDITOR

History was made in Oklahoma City as the Texas Longhorns clinched their first-ever national championship in women’s softball and they did it in unforgettable fashion. With two of the greatest to ever wear burnt orange leading the way, slugger Mia Scott and ace Teagan Kavan, the Longhorns powered their way to a 10-4 win over Texas Tech in Game Three of the Women’s College World Series finals at Devon Park.

Scott, who hit an eye-popping .600 at the WCWS, crushed a grand slam in the bottom of the fourth inning to give Texas a commanding 10-0 lead. It was her fifth career home run in WCWS play, the most ever by a Longhorn.

That blast was all Texas needed. And with Kavan in the circle, it was more than enough.

Kavan, who was named the Most Outstanding Player of the WCWS, didn’t allow a single earned run across 31.2 innings, setting a WCWS record. The freshman phenom improved to 5-0 all-time against Texas Tech’s star pitcher NiJaree Canady, including a perfect 3-0 this season. Not even Texas legends Cat Osterman or Blair Luna could claim what Kavan just did: pitch Texas to a national title.

The win was especially sweet considering Texas entered the tournament 0-7 all-time against Oklahoma in OKC. This year, they have a perfect 4-0 run against powerhouse opponents.

Canady, who had carried Tech on her shoulders through the WCWS, started Game Three but was pulled after just one inning. The Longhorns had cracked the code after facing her in a 2-1 Game One win and a close 4-3 Game Two loss.

Mia Scott showed up for the postgame press conference before bolting with a smile just as it started. Her bat had already done all the talking.

This title run was more than a breakthrough, it was a statement. The Longhorns are no longer chasing history. They just made it.
