Texas Tech punched its ticket to the Women’s College World Series championship round in exciting style after its million-dollar ace NiJaree Canady lost her complete-game shutout bid when Oklahoma — down to its last strike — hit a game-tying, two-run blast in the top of the seventh. Red Raiders infielder Lauren Allred hit a sacrifice fly to right field in the bottom of the seventh to score outfielder Mihyia Davis, who easily beat a wide throw to the plate for a 3-2 win in Oklahoma City on Monday. The game was one of the most anticipated of the year, with the two-time NFCA Pitcher of the Year Canady on the hill against Oklahoma, which had won the Women’s College World Series the past four years.
