OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. – It's a moment that will forever be etched into the fabric of the Texas softball program's history:

A 1-0 count.

Teagan Kavan's 111th pitch of the night.

Texas leading by five runs in the top of the seventh.

A ground ball to Leighann Goode at shortstop.

Goode, a natural second baseman – filling in at shortstop due to an injury to Viviana Martinez – dropped to a knee, made a backhand stop and unleashed a rocket to first base that beat Texas Tech's Lauren Allred by four steps.
