Texas Tech softball is utilizing a strategic rotation of pitchers NiJaree Canady and Kaitlyn Terry in the Women's College World Series. During a game against UCLA, Canady started, then exited for Terry, who was later relieved by Canady again. This move takes advantage of softball's rules allowing pitchers to re-enter. Coach Gerry Glasco employs a designated player position to keep both pitchers active in the lineup. The Red Raiders have made several adjustments, including using the designated player role to maintain legal substitutions throughout the game.
