In Game 1 against Florida, Texas Tech coach Gerry Glasco replaced pitcher Kaitlyn Terry with NiJaree Canady after she allowed a home run.
Canady gave up three runs before the Red Raiders regained the lead and she closed out the 10-8 victory.
Canady leads Division I with a 1.04 career ERA.
She has recorded 100 wins and more than 1,000 strikeouts. She is one of five players in NCAA history to earn Women's College World Series All-Tournament honors at two different schools. Canady began her career at Stanford, where she was named National Freshman of the Year.
