With two outs in the top of the seventh inning, sophomore pinch hitter Amari Harper stepped in for the most important at-bat of her career. Down one, the Aggie
In a 6-5 ball game, the Aggies were rallying. Senior catcher Julia Cottrill’s three-run homer cut thelead to one, and freshman pitcher Teagan Kavan struggled. Kavan had given up three runs and three hits in one and a third innings pitched after stepping in for the dominant Mac Morgan, who ended the night in the sixth inning having given up just four hits without an earned run.
Kavan’s first pitch was a strike, and after getting over that hump, it was smooth sailing. Kavan struck Harper out looking, the Longhorns were back to the Women’s College World Series for the seventh time in program history, defeating the Aggies 6-5. Kavan’s success wouldn’t have been nearly as strong if not for the efforts of the rest of the team, however. Morgan’s 13.1 innings pitched in the super regional over three games carried the Longhorns on the defensive side with only 3 earned runs given up. Her two-and-a-third innings in Saturday’s comeback win was the only thing that could stop the Aggies offense.
