Texas Tech’s NiJaree Canady breaks down after heavy pitching load in Women’s College World Series
Texas Tech’s NiJaree Canady threw every pitch for the Red Raiders in the Women’s College World Series, all the way through the first two games of the championship series and the first inning of the third. Canady, who has signed a second NIL deal worth more than $1 million, finally broke down. She was pulled after giving up five runs in the first inning of Game 3 against Texas on Friday. Canady threw 88 pitches on Wednesday 107 on Thursday and started Friday. She had no doubt she was going to pitch, despite going the distance in the previous five World Series games.
