Houston Astros Rally Behind Women’s College World Series

The support from Major League Baseball keeps coming softball’s way.

Ahead of Wednesday’s Lone Star State matchup between the Texas Longhorns and the Texas Tech Red Raiders, the Houston Astros shouted out words of good luck to the two teams on social media.
