No. 11 Red Raiders close out regular season with series win
May 03, 2025 | Softball
PROVO, Utah – The No. 11 Red Raiders (42-12, 20-4) closed out the regular series with a 2-1 win over BYU (31-16, 13-11) on Saturday night on ESPNU. Tech took all eight of the conference series they played in this season as head coach Gerry Glasco improved his conference-series winning streak to 60.
NiJaree Canady improved to 23-5 in the circle after allowing just one run on one hit and striking out eight batters through 7.0 innings of work. Canady's 23 wins puts her tied for third-most in a single season in program history.
Mihyia Davis and Lauren Allred led the way offensively for Tech, both turning in multi-hit performances as Davis went 2-for-4 with a stolen base and a run while Allred went 3-for-3 with two RBI.
How it happened:
It was another pitchers' duel and defensive battle for most of the game. BYU's Kaysen Korth and Jada Villegas threw well as Villegas allowed just one hit in the final 3.0 innings.
Tech's defense again plays strong in the field thanks to Hailey Toney and Bailey Lindemuth on the left side of the infield and Alexa Langeliers and Lauren Allred holding down the right side.
Canady was again nothing short of phenomenal as she allowed just one hit, a solo home run, and one free pass after hitting a batter in the sixth inning. She recorded eight strikeouts and retired the first 12 batters she saw thanks to five 1-2-3 innings.
Tech was able to manufacture some runs in the third inning after Demi Elder led off with a single up the middle. Mihyia Davis was able to aboard thanks to an excellent bunt which showed off her speed down the base path. Toney laid down an great sacrifice bunt – one of two she recorded in the game – to push Elder and Davis over to second and third with one out. Following the second out of the inning, Allred stepped up to the plate and took a 1-0 pitch into shallow center field to score both runners and give Tech – and ultimately the win.
The Cougars lone run came in the bottom of the fourth inning but weren't able to get anything going outside of their one hit.
UP NEXT: Tech will head to the Big 12 Championship in Oklahoma City as the No. 1 seed where they will get a first-round bye. The tournament is played May 7-10 at OGE Field at Devon Park.
