Texas Tech jumped out early on Mississippi State with a Lis 2-run homer and never looked back. The Davis score at the plate was all hustle as was the Terry score to end it. Before you know it, Mississippi State was run-ruled and the game was over. And Taylor Pannell will face her former team in Tennessee and her former coach who accused Texas Tech of tampering.

Lubbock Avalanche-Journal’s Nathan Giese: War of words extends after Texas Tech, Tennessee softball WCWS game

“We were walking through the line, just saying good game,” Pannell said, “and (Weekly) said that I made a mistake instead of good game, which, it’s kind of crazy, like celebrate with the team, and I just think it’s funny she’s still thinking about it, but it’s old news, whatever.”

Gerry Glasco said he had no idea the alleged incident occurred. He went through the handshake line as normal.

“It happened behind me,” Glasco said. “I don’t know exactly what happened.”

Weekly denied ever saying this to Pannell to the Knoxville News Sentinel, saying, “If you rewatch at the tape of the handshake line, you’re going to see me go just as fast by her as anybody else,” Weekly said. “I didn’t even know where she was in the handshake line … that’s an outright lie. I said good game like I said to every other player.”
