WCWS Finals: Texas Tech Softball's NiJaree Canady Exits Game 3 Early
The star of the Texas Tech Red Raiders, NiJaree Canady has been pulled early in Game 3 of the Women’s College World Series. Her streak of consecutive pitches ends at 520 in the WCWS and 686 overall going back to the Super Regionals.
In a chaotic first inning for the Red Raiders, the Longhorns scored five, including a three-run homer from Leighann Goode. The five runs allowed are the most given up by Canady in a single inning in her career.
What an inning for @TexasSoftball 🔥

While it was clear that she was running out of gas, she was yanked by the second inning. Chloe Riasseto has taken over, but Canady could still re-enter.
