Stewart Delivers Another Multi-Homer Performance
Texas 10, East Texas A&M 1 (5 innings).
Katie Stewart left no doubt about the outcome Tuesday night, belting a solo home run early before uncorking a walkoff grand slam to end the game via run rule in the bottom of the 5th. It was the 3rd career multi-home run game for Stewart, who has emerged as one of the most dangerous power bats in college softball this season.
The grand slam capped a dominant performance by the Longhorns, who jumped on East Texas A&M from the start and never let up. Stewart’s first homer staked Texas to an early lead, and her second — with the bases loaded and the run rule in reach — provided the exclamation point on a 10-1 blowout.
Win Streak Reaches 21 — 3rd Longest in Program History
With the victory, Texas has now won 21 consecutive games, the program’s longest winning streak since the 2006 squad rattled off a similar run. The current streak ranks 3rd in Texas softball history, trailing only the all-time program record of 24 straight set in that same era (per TexasSports.com).
The Longhorns sit at 23-1 on the season, their lone loss coming in the opening weeks. Since that defeat, Texas has been a machine: outscoring opponents by wide margins, getting elite pitching, and riding a lineup that has found its identity behind Stewart and her fellow sluggers.
Head coach Mike White’s squad has shown no signs of slowing down, and with SEC play looming, the streak has real implications for seeding and national perception.
Kavan Continues Dominant Season in the Circle
While Stewart grabbed the headlines at the plate, Longhorns pitching continued to set the tone for this streak. Starter Teagan Kavan improved to 9-0 on the season with a 1.96 ERA, keeping East Texas A&M’s bats quiet throughout the shortened contest.
Kavan was recently named SEC Pitcher of the Week (via SEC Sports), a recognition of her sustained excellence across multiple outings. She has been the linchpin of a pitching staff that has held opponents to minimal scoring during the 21-game run, giving the Texas offense room to operate without pressure.
The combination of Kavan’s efficiency in the circle and Stewart’s power at the plate has made this Longhorns team a nightmare matchup for anyone on the schedule.
What’s Next
Texas will look to push the streak to 22 and beyond as the schedule stiffens with conference play on the horizon. The program record of 24 consecutive wins is now just 3 victories away, putting the Longhorns squarely in position to make history. If Stewart keeps mashing and Kavan keeps dealing, the question is not whether this Texas team is elite — it’s how high their ceiling truly reaches.
