For a while, it looked like Texas Tech was going to secure a close Game 1 victory in the Women's College World Series Championship. But after building a 1-0 lead, the Longhorns rallied back by taking a 2-0 lead into the 7th inning. Unfortunately, the Red Raiders didn't have an answer this time.

For Texas Tech, the loss is devastating, as teams that win Game 1 in the WCWS go on to win the championship nearly 80 percent of the time. But we've seen this Red Raider squad beat the odds all season long, and they'll have a shot to force a Game 3 tomorrow night.

Game 2 is set to take place on Thursday night, with the Red Raiders now facing elimination.
