Tech on top, bottom at Red Raider Classic 02/20/12 - 5:03pm

For the first three games of 2012, the Texas Tech baseball team had gone through all sorts of situations and had come out on top. The one thing the Red Raiders hadn’t done was play from behind or tied for a long period of time. But no one seemed worried after Missouri State used three runs in the final two innings — taking the lead off of all-American closer John Neely — and handing the Red Raiders their first loss, a 4-2 decision Sunday in the final game of the Red Raider Classic.

Finding a DH

Finding a DH About the only weakness in Texas Tech’s opening weekend lineup was the absence of production from the designated hitter. Bo Altobelli was Tech’s most productive DH, going 2 for 3 with two RBIs, but he was in the DH role for Sunday’s first game only to give him a rest from being behind the plate, which he was for the other three games.

Broyles, offense lead Red Raiders to 9-5 win over Tennesse Tech 02/19/12 - 2:05am

Making his first career Division I start Saturday would have been enough motivation for Texas Tech junior right-hander Shane Broyles. But having his father, Allen, in the stands celebrating a birthday made Broyles’ solid, efficient effort even better. Broyles worked 71/3 innings and scattered four earned runs and six hits on just 78 pitches, and the Red Raider offense gave him plenty of support for a 9-5 victory at Rip Griffin Park.

Strong pitching give Tech opening day victory 02/18/12 - 1:29am

Redshirt sophomore right-hander Duke vonSchamann threw seven stellar innings with a career-high six strikeouts, and Texas Tech got all the runs it would need in the first three batters of the game, taking a 4-1 victory over Missouri State on Friday at Rip Griffin Park. VonSchamann allowed just one hit, one unearned run and one walk in the first opening day start by a Tech underclassman since Chad Bettis in 2009. It came in front of 2,605 fans at the newly renovated park, the largest opening day home crowd since 2003 (3,018).
