OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Reese Atwood hit a go-ahead, two-run single for Texas in the sixth inning, when Texas Tech ace NiJaree Canady was trying to walk her intentionally and the Longhorns beat the Red Raiders 2-1 in Game 1 of the Women’s College World Series finals on Wednesday night. Teagan Kavan pitched a three-hitter for Texas (54-11), which can secure its first national title with a victory in Game 2 on Thursday night. Texas Tech (53-12) would have to win two straight to claim its first championship in its first WCWS appearance. Canady allowed four hits and struck out seven, but she has lost four of five career starts against Texas, with two of those defeats for the Red Raiders this season and two for her previous school, Stanford. You can hear game two tonight on WJPA 1450AM beginning at 7:45 p.m.
