Texas Tech ran the table 8-0 in five innings to open the Women's College World Series. NiJaree Canady was untouchable through four — two hits, no runs, a walk and three strikeouts — before Kaitlyn Terry slammed the door with a perfect fifth. Jackie Lis cracked the only home run and drove in three, and early run support from Mia Williams and M. Davis put it out of reach before Mississippi State's Cinderella run could find a pulse. The Bulldogs managed just two hits, both singles, and never threatened.
