Texas pitcher Estelle Czech celebrates after a 5-2 elimination-game win over Arizona at the Women's College World Series on Sunday. The Longhorns will face Oklahoma St. in the national semifinals.Texas sophomores Estelle Czech and JJ Smith wouldn’t have been atop a list of the likeliest heroes heading into Sunday’s Women’s College World Series elimination game against Arizona.
Instead, thanks in large part to Czech and Smith’s electric performances, Texas topped Arizona 5-2 at USA Softball Hall of Fame Stadium in Oklahoma City to become just the second unseeded team to ever reach the national semifinals. Dolcini got off to a strong start. She retired six straight to open the game and allowed just one baserunner through three innings.
“Coach and I had a discussion before the game that my position for today was to be reliever and to pick up Hailey when she needed it,” Czech said. “And that’s exactly what I tried to do. And, you know, Haley did her job and I did mine.” Center fielder Bella Dayton tacked on one more insurance run in the fifth with a deep sacrifice fly to score second baseman Janae Jefferson from third.
