The Texas Longhorns are looking to advance to the Super Regionals with a win over the Northwestern Wildcats in the Austin Regional final. To do that, head coach Mike White knows a fast start is key for his team.
As he explained to ESPN during a mid-game interview, his message to the team before this game was to win win it early when it’s going to be easier to do.
“Win it in one,” Mike White said. “You lose this game, it’s always hard to come back for the second game.”
Mike White certainly got the fast start he was looking for out of his Texas team. After adding two runs in the first inning, Mia Scott shot a bomb to right field. It was a three-run home run and opened up a 5-0 lead for the Longhorns.
In the circle for Texas is Teagan Kavan. She’s just a freshman but settled into the game pretty well early, and as Mike White explained, he has plenty of confidence in her ability, even on a big stage like this one.
“Yeah, we have confidence in her,” White said. “She’s a great pitcher and this is good exposure for her at this point.”
