Texas moves to the WCWS semifinals with a 5-2 win over Arizona

The Longhorns become only the second unranked team in Women’s College World Seris history to make it to the semifinals.

With their backs against the wall in an elimination game, Texas softball came through with clutch pitching and timely hits to take down Arizona 5-2.

The heroics came in the fourth inning as JJ Smith stepped up to the plate with two runners on base, down 2-1. She then launched a towering flyball into the right-field seats to give Texas a 4-2 lead.

The Horns were able to hold on to that lead via an outstanding relief effort from Estelle Czech. The lefty kept the Wildcats’ bats from getting anything going the rest of the way.

The Longhorns become only the second unranked team in Women’s College World Seris history to make it to the semifinals. Texas will face a familiar foe in the semifinal round as the Horns will need to knock off Oklahoma State twice to reach the championship game.
