When NiJaree Canady enters the circle, it is often goodnight for the opposing lineup. Texas Tech's star pitcher gave up just five hits during Monday's 3-2 win over four-time defending national champion Oklahoma as the Red Raiders punched their ticket to the championship series of the Women's College World Series with Texas.

The Red Raiders saw star pitcher NiJaree Canady give up a tying homer in the top of the final inning, but they scored a walk-off run in the bottom of the frame to reach their first Women’s College World Series final.

Oklahoma’s run of four straight Women’s College World Series titles ended Monday night in a narrow loss to Texas Tech.
