Tennessee softball will face No. 6 seed Texas in the semifinals of the Women's College World Series on June 2. The Lady Vols beat UCLA to advance.

Arkansas opened a 7-1 lead with a five-run fourth inning. Logan Maxwell hit a grand slam off AJ Russell, the Vols' third pitcher of the inning. The Razorbacks loaded the bases on singles by Cam Kozeal and Reese Robinett, followed by an intentional walk to Charles Davalan to set up a force play.

The Nationals still are evaluating 7-8 players for the No. 1 overall pick, a group that consists of most of the consensus upper-tier of talent: two high school shortstops (Ethan Holliday and Eli Willits),

The Longhorns (54-11), who lost in the championship series in 2022 and 2024, improved to 3-0 in Oklahoma City.

On Friday afternoon, Rocco's Pizza & Cantina in Omaha, Nebraska posted a score update of its annual $5 Jell-o shot challenge that takes place at every College World Series. A purchased Jell-o shot adds points for each of the eight participating fanbases, and as of early Friday afternoon, LSU is in the lead with 943 points.

The Volunteers need two wins against the Longhorns to advance to the championship series, while Texas requires just one victory to move forward.

Texas softball will continue the Women's College World Series with a familiar foe in Tennessee, which beat the Longhorns in an SEC series this year.

Louisville infielder Tanner Shiver could have the craziest three days in college baseball history if the Cardinals can advance to the College World Series

Texas softball is waiting to learn who it will play next at the College Softball World Series.
