Texas softball is defying all odds this postseason. The Longhorns are off to the Women’s College World Series championship round after upsetting No. 7 Oklahoma State.
Mike White’s squad crawled all the way back from the losers bracket, beating the Cowgirls twice on Monday.
Longhorn lefty Estelle Czech shut out the Pokes in a 5-0 Game 1 victory. Courtney Day launched a three-run home run to help force a winner-take-all Game 2.
The second game did not get off to a great start for Texas. Oklahoma’s State offense got to Czech to take a 5-0 lead.
However, Texas mounted a comeback for the ages, started by another three-run home run from Day in the fourth inning that cut the deficit to two, 5-3. Texas took the lead off the bat of Bella Dayton in the fifth inning. Dayton drilled a single into right field and came all the way around to score via a throwing error.
The Longhorns held on to win 6-5 and set up a Red River Rivalry matchup in the national championship series.
Here is how social media reacted to Texas softball making history.
