A controversial obstruction call in Game 1 of the Women's College World Series finals between Texas and Texas Tech sparked debate.

The controversy unfolded in the top of the fifth inning when Texas catcher Reese Atwood appeared to throw out Texas Tech’s Logan Halleman on a steal attempt at second base.

After a challenge by Texas Tech head coach Gerry Glasco , umpires ruled that Texas shortstop Leighann Goode had obstructed the runner's path, leading to Texas Tech's first run.

The obstruction rule, while designed for fair play, has drawn criticism for rigid enforcement and impacting game outcomes.
