Reese Atwood served as the hero for Texas softball in Game 1 of the Women's College World Series national championship series against Texas Tech.
The No. 6-seeded Longhorns are now just one win away from the first softball championship in program history after Atwood took a 3-0 intentional walk pitch from NiJaree Canady and singled to give Texas a 2-1 lead in the bottom of the sixth inning.
Now, the Red Raiders and Canady — who took the blame on herself following the loss — will need to win on June 5 to continue their season at Devon Park in Oklahoma City. Teagan Kavan, who delivered a game in Game 1, will likely be back in the circle to help the Longhorns close the series out.
