Texas vs. Tennessee Softball: The Moment That Changed Everything in OKC

The Texas Longhorns clinched their spot in the Women’s College World Series championship series with a 2-1 win over the Tennessee Lady Vols in a tense semifinal showdown at Devon Park, Oklahoma City.

Texas broke the scoreless deadlock in the fifth inning with a solo home run from Katie Stewart, providing the momentum shift the Longhorns needed. Pitchers Mac Morgan and freshman Teagan Kavan combined for a dominant performance, holding Tennessee to just one run and shutting down several late threats. Kavan secured the save, while Morgan earned the win with clutch pitching in key moments..

Tennessee, who had beaten Texas twice in the regular season, couldn’t capitalize on their opportunities, stranding runners and committing a costly error in the sixth that allowed Texas to extend their lead. Despite a strong outing from ace Karlyn Pickens, the Lady Vols’ season ended just short of the finals..

With this victory, Texas advances to face Texas Tech in the WCWS finals, while Tennessee’s impressive postseason run comes to a close.
