Mia Williams took a pitch to the back in the fourth inning, sparking a heated exchange between Texas Tech and Florida coaches. The HBP came after a series of inside pitches, leading Florida coach Tim Walton to question the intent. Williams' father, Jason Williams, watched from the stands as his daughter became the focal point of a game that already featured 23 runs.
Texas Tech coach Craig Snider defended his player, insisting the pitch was not intentional but a byproduct of aggressive pitching. Florida's Walton countered, arguing the pattern of pitches warranted scrutiny. The umpires issued warnings to both benches, but no ejections followed, allowing the game to continue.
