Canady Closes Lubbock In Run-Rule Fashion

Winner
Texas Tech
CHALK · CALLED IT

Chalk in Lubbock. Texas Tech swept 3-0: 10-3 over Marist, then a 10-9 nail-biter over Ole Miss, then a 14-2 run-rule closer over Ole Miss. Canady got the deciding game. Lis homered twice on the weekend; Madi George went deep once but it never mattered. Glasco's Red Raiders move on to face Florida.

X-Factor

Game 2 was the wobble — Ole Miss took TTU to 10-9 with Madi George hitting bombs. Game 3 was the statement: 14-2, run-rule, regional over.
