The Texas Longhorns beat the Texas Tech Red Raiders 2-1 in Game 1 of the Women's College World Series championship series on Wednesday night in a contest that included multiple controversies, a stunning mistake by a star pitcher and more emotional swings -- and minutes spent in replay review -- than one could count.

Game 1 begins at 8 p.m. ET on ESPN with streaming available on multiple platforms including a special ESPN+ discount offer until June 20.

OKLAHOMA CITY - The surging Longhorns will vie for their first national championship in softball and try for the third time in four years as they go up against Texas-killer - and everybody-killer - Oklahoma.
