OKLAHOMA CITY — NiJaree Canady continued to dominate as a pitcher and added a key hit for the Texas Tech softball team in their Women’s College World Series game against UCLA on Saturday at Devon Park.

Canady improved to 32-5 on the season in the complete-game effort, striking out seven batters in Texas Tech’s 3-1 win over the Bruins. She allowed just two hits and two walks through six innings before the Bruins got a pair of hits to lead off the bottom of the seventh.

Much like she did when UCLA loaded the bases with one out in the second inning, Canady got out of it, getting a strikeout and a fielder’s choice hit to Alexa Langeliers at second base, who tagged out the runner for the final out of the game.

At the plate, Canady laced a double over the head of the right fielder that set up Texas Tech’s first run of the game, which came via a steal of home from Makayla Garcia, who was the pinch runner for Canady.

Through two WCWS games with the Red Raiders, Canady is 2-0 with 17 strikeouts, six hits, two walks and one run allowed.
