Overview
- Texas Tech defeated Florida 16-7 in the deciding Game 3 on May 24 to advance to the Women’s College World Series.
- Texas Tech second baseman Mia Williams, a former Florida player, was hit by pitches five times during the series and hit a two‑run home run in Game 3 that helped spark the Red Raiders’ rally.
- Florida coach Tim Walton was ejected in the fifth inning for arguing balls and strikes and did not participate in a postgame handshake with Texas Tech.
- Jason Williams, Mia’s father, accused a fan of striking his younger daughter in the stands, said the family declined to press charges, and was seen celebrating with the Texas Tech team after the win.
- Coverage has shifted from pure game analysis to concerns about intent behind the HBPs, bench and crowd behavior, and whether the NCAA or schools will review conduct before the Women’s College World Series begins.
