Kaitlyn Terry drove in the go‑ahead run that lifted Texas Tech past UCLA 8-7 in nine innings Sunday night at the Women's College World Series. The Red Raiders, seeded 11th, survived a relentless UCLA attack that featured a national‑record 209 home runs this season. Terry, a former Red Angel, limited UCLA to two runs and struck out seven over five frames.

UCLA’s power duo, Megan Grant and Jordan Woolery, each surpassed the 30‑home‑run mark, a first in Division I history. Grant shattered the school career record with her 91st homer, finishing at 42, while Woolery added two homers Sunday, including a two‑run blast off Texas Tech ace Nijaree Canady that forced extra innings. Both players later sat on base as Canady closed the game with a strikeout.

The win forces Texas Tech to beat top‑seeded Alabama twice on Monday to reach the championship series, a daunting path after edging out a team that set offensive records all year. Coach Gerry Glasco praised Terry’s competitiveness, noting her ability to dominate a lineup that produced the most home runs in program history. Texas Tech now eyes a rematch that could define its postseason legacy.
