Emma Clarke led off the bottom of the ninth with a walk-off home run to straightaway center, and No. 7 Tennessee outlasted No. 11 Texas Tech 2-1 to win the Bracket B winners' game and move within one victory of the championship series. It was a pitchers' duel start to finish. Taelyn Holley staked the Vols to a 1-0 lead with a solo shot in the fifth, but Texas Tech manufactured a run in the seventh to even it. Karlyn Pickens gave Tennessee 6.2 strong innings — one run, five hits, six strikeouts — before Sage Mardjetko (16-2) slammed the door with 2.1 hitless innings to earn the win. Kaitlyn Terry and NiJaree Canady combined to hold Tennessee to a single run through eight, but Terry was back in the circle for the ninth when Clarke turned on a pitch and sent it out to end it. Texas Tech drops to Sunday's elimination bracket to face UCLA; Tennessee advances to the WCWS semifinals.
