Mia Scott delivered a defining moment for Texas softball, blasting a grand slam in the fourth inning of Game at the Women’s College World Series and pushing the Longhorns to a commanding 10-0 lead over Texas Tech. The shot not only electrified the Oklahoma City crowd but also triggered the run-rule scenario, putting Texas on the brink of its first-ever national championship.
Scott’s performance was even more remarkable as she played through a torn ACL, anchoring the defense at third base and ending her collegiate career as Texas’ all-time leader in runs and RBIs. Her grand slam marked her 10th home run of the season and capped a WCWS where she hit .529, proving to be the x-factor in Texas’ title run.
Despite Texas Tech’s late push to extend the game, the Longhorns held on for a 10-4 victory and secured their place in history as national champions. Scott’s heroics—both at the plate and in the field—will be remembered as the moment Texas softball reached the pinnacle of college sports.
