- Mia Scott, 3B, Texas: 2-for-3, HR, 4 RBI

Texas responded with a solo home run by third baseman Mia Scott, but Texas Tech added two more in the following inning.
The Longhorns didn't go away quietly, though, scoring two to make it a one-run game, but couldn't complete the comeback.

🫨 TTU SCORE 2 ON HBP, PASSED BALL | Bot 5: TTU 2, Texas 0
Texas Tech was 4 for 20 with runners in scoring position at the WCWS entering Game 2. By the fourth inning, they were 4 for 21.
That all changed in the fifth, when the Red Raiders plated two on a hit-by-pitch and a passed ball to take a 2-0 lead.
With bases loaded and two outs, Texas Tech had right fielder Alana Johnson at the plate, who led the team in grand slams. Instead of the big fly, though, Johnson was hit in the right thigh by Texas's Cambria Salmon to give the Red Raiders their first run. And less than a minute later, the second scored, as Salmon's wild pitch went under catcher Reese Atwood's glove and to the backstop, allowing center fielder Mihyia Davis to score.
