Texas Tech clinches first-ever Super Regional appearance
NiJaree Canady is headed to her third-straight Super Regional, but the first for the Texas Tech program. The Red Raiders beat Mississippi State 9-6 on Sunday.
The Red Raiders supplied their superstar with a five-run lead; however, the Bulldogs battled. Canady, who was battling a blister, clearly didn’t have her typical stuff. Mississippi State responded in the third with three runs behind RBIs from Sierra Sacco and Morgan Stiles.
Texas Tech’s offense was relentless. Hailey Toney led off the fourth with a solo shot. They added another run via a sacrifice fly in the fifth.
Mississippi State answered with three more as Jessie Blaine and Ella Wesolowski brought their team within one.
