Wasikowski on Volantis: "We're going to really need to be at our best to try and break him down."

Wasikowski on recruiting Dylan Volantis: "I think he said no to us pretty quickly. We would've loved to have been in the mix for him."

Oregon pitcher Cal Scolari said that Texas having multiple 20-home-run guys in its lineup stands out. Heading into the Austin Super Regional. Aiden Robbins leads the Longhorns with 23, Carson Tinney has 21 and Casey Borba is close to the 20-home run mark with 17.

Wasikowski on Pack: "I just hope he had one off weekend."

Oregon coach Mark Wasikowski recruited Anthony Pack Jr. He said Pack "is going to be a heck of a Major Leaguer... he's that good."

Texas was scheduled to be on the field for practice until 2:30, but the Longhorns wrapped things up about a half hour early. Oregon is going through its press conference right now.

Texas avoided an if-necessary third game of the Women’s College World Series finals against Texas Tech, following up Wednesday’s 7-3 win over the Red Raiders with Thursday’s 4-1 victory to clinch the Longhorns’ second consecutive national championship. Texas (53-12) joined Arizona, Florida, Oklahoma and UCLA as the fifth NCAA softball program to win back-to-back softball national titles with a two-game sweep of Texas Tech (61-10). Teagan Kavan, who was named WCWS Most Outstanding Player for the second year in a row, secured the final six outs of the game after Citlaly Gutierrez (4.1 innings) and Hannah Wells (0.2 innings) did their jobs in the circle to help the Longhorns overcome a one-run deficit. Facing All-American pitcher NiJaree Canady and trailing, 1-0, Texas opened the fifth inning with back-to-back singles by Kaiah Altmeyer and Ashton Maloney. After Jaycie Nichols reached on a fielder’s choice and the Red Raiders intentionally walked Katie Stewart with the bases loaded, a Viviana Martinez ground ball to the left side of the infield turned into a two-run error, putting the Longhorns on top, 2-1. On the heels of Kavan retiring Texas Tech in order in the bottom of the sixth, Kayden Henry led off the top of the seventh with an opposite-field home run, taking Canady deep to left. With one out and runners on first and second, right fielder Lauren Allred couldn’t come up with a diving catch of a sinking liner off the bat of Leighann Goode, resulting in an RBI single to put Texas up by three runs, 4-1. Kavan retired each of the six Red Raiders she faced, recording back-to-back strikeouts to end the game. View full news story
