Watch: Jason Williams’ Daughter Mia Smashes Walk-Off Homer to Ignite Women’s College World Series

College softball fans typing “Jason Williams daughter” are discovering that the search leads straight to Texas Tech slugger Mia Williams, the breakout star of this year’s Women’s College World Series (WCWS). The junior second baseman—whose father is former NBA champion Jason “White Chocolate” Williams—has carried the Red Raiders back to the WCWS finals, where they open a best-of-three showdown with rival Texas tonight in Oklahoma City. Stat-wise, Mia is rewriting record books: a .438 average, 26 home runs and 85 RBI after transferring from Florida last summer. She’s hitting .471 in the WCWS and launched the walk-off homer that eliminated top-seed Alabama in the semifinals, prompting her dad to leap out of his seat and chest-bump strangers in the stands. The father-daughter story exploded online last week when Mia was plunked five times during an emotional Super Regional in Gainesville, including on the very first pitch of Game 3. Viral clips show Jason Williams shouting “That’s my baby!” moments after the beanballs—and later being escorted from the Florida stands after accusing a fan of striking his daughter with a handheld fan. The incident turbo-charged searches for “Jason Williams daughter hit by pitch” and turned Mia into a social-media folk hero, especially once she answered with two home runs and five RBI to send Texas Tech to Oklahoma City. Mia’s journey began in Gainesville, where she started every game for Florida in 2025 and earned second-team All-America honors before entering the transfer portal. She picked the Red Raiders in part, she says, because head coach Gerry Glasco “treats everyone like his daughter.” The fit has been perfect: Texas Tech’s offense now averages three more runs per game than it did a season ago, and the lineup revolves around No. 23. Athletic DNA runs deep. Jason’s dazzling passes lit up the NBA for a dozen seasons and produced a 2006 ring with the Miami Heat, while Mia’s mother, Denika, was an All-American javelin thrower at Florida. The proud parents are fixtures behind home plate, and Jason’s signature swagger has become a fixture on the WCWS broadcast whenever Mia steps into the box. What’s next? Game 1 of the WCWS finals streams tonight at 7 p.m. ET on ESPN. If Mia keeps raking and Texas Tech claims its first national championship, the phrase “Jason Williams daughter” may trend even harder—only by then, the softball world will know her simply as Mia Williams.
