Hello, softball fans. Welcome to The Athletic' s live coverage of the Women's College World Series championship matchup. Texas won Game 1, so we could have a champion tonight. If Texas Tech wins tonight, Game 3 will be played tomorrow. Either way, we will have a new champion as Texas and Texas Tech are both looking for their first-ever title.

The championship series of the Women's College World Series is going the distance after Texas Tech held on for a 4-3 win over Texas in Game 2. For the second straight night, the game was scoreless entering the fifth inning before the Red Raiders finally broke through.
