In a stunning opening game at the Women's College World Series, sixth-seeded Texas triumphed over third-seeded Florida with a 3-0 victory. Joley Mitchell made history by hitting two home runs, becoming the first player from Texas to achieve this feat at the WCWS. Teagan Kavan dominated on the mound, allowing only two hits throughout the game. With Texas's win, they advance to face the winner of the Oklahoma-Tennessee match, while Florida faces an elimination game. Mitchell's critical performance and Kavan's skillful pitching set the tone for Texas's campaign in the tournament.
Kavan tossed her third shutout in two years of WCWS action at Devon Park. "I mean, it's the place to be... I'm grateful to be here to give my all for my teammates."
Mitchell homered in the second and sixth innings off Florida ace Keagan Rothrock, becoming the first Texas player to hit multiple home runs at the WCWS.
