Mia Williams hit a walk-off home run and NiJaree Canady threw a two-hit shutout to push No. 11-seed Texas Tech past No. 1 Alabama in two must-win semifinal games.

The Red Raiders are back in the Women's College World Series championship for the second consecutive year. They will meet the No. 2 seed Texas Longhorns in the first championship series rematch in WCWS history.

The Longhorns won their first national title in 2025. Texas Tech is looking to achieve the same in 2026, and they looked the part of a roster built to win it all on Monday in Oklahoma City.

Texas Tech has made a problem out of giving up runs in late-game scenarios in this NCAA tournament. After not allowing an earned run in any seventh inning during the regular season, the Red Raiders' pitching staff of Canady and Kaitlyn Terry has allowed 10 during this postseason run.

Two came off of Terry in a Crimson Tide home run that tied Game 1.

As a response in the bottom of the inning, Tech's historic leadoff hitter Williams, who already owns the program's single-season home run and RBI record this year, blasted a ball to dead center for her first-career walk-off home run.

The 5-4 win sent the series into a do-or-die situation, where the winner would book a ticket to the best-of-3 finals.

This week, Canady set the record for the most appearances in WCWS history. That experience was evident in Game 2 as she turned in one of the best performances of her generational career.

The All-American tossed a two-hit shutout to eliminate the nation's top seed, who had been undefeated at the World Series entering the day.

The senior right-hander struck out six and allowed just one walk as she became the first Red Raider to throw a complete game in this year's NCAA tournament.

She didn't need much run support, but the insurance came late. After Jasmyn Burns' fourth-inning homer had Texas Tech in front by one, Lauren Allred's base hit allowed chaos to ensue in the infield.

Speedster Mihyia Davis scored from first on the play after the Alabama centerfielder missed the cut-off, and the ball rolled into the dugout.

Canady allowed her second hit of the game with the Tide down to their final out. She shut the door with a flyout three pitches later as Allred reached up to make the grab in right field.

You know about the drama unfolding between the Red Raiders and Longhorns in football last week?

We're sure the action this week - a sequel to a thrilling three-game series from 2025 - is sure to begin stirring just as much emotion between the two fan bases. And rightfully so.

The Longhorns are defending their title with a handful of returners who had a hand in ending the Red Raiders' breakout season last year, including the 2025 WCWS Most Outstanding Player, Teagan Kavan.

But Texas Tech has an opportunity to do exactly what this roster was built to do: bring a national championship home to Lubbock for the first time in team history. The Red Raiders would be the lowest-seeded national champion in WCWS history.

Both teams have proven to overcome the adversity. It's the first time both semifinals of a WCWS saw the losers' bracket team win both and advance since 2003.

The action begins Wednesday, June 3, at Devon Park in OKC.
