Red Raiders maintain one-game lead on Longhorns for eighth place in Big 12 standings

The Texas Tech baseball team has been waiting most of the Big 12 Conference season to take that big leap forward, and Sunday was a perfect chance to do just that. The Red Raiders got the pitching performance they needed from left-hander Jonny Drozd, who threw 72/3 scoreless innings. But he got no offensive help and was one-upped by OSU starter Mark Robinette, and in the end a shaky Tech bullpen proved to be the difference.

Nurdin shuts down Red Raiders as Cowboys even series, 11-5 05/05/13 - 12:46am

Cowboys start quick, run away from Red Raiders

No. 19 Oklahoma State had the answer Saturday night to slow down what had become a confident Texas Tech offense over the past three games. Left-handed pitching. Sophomore Tyler Nurdin continued Tech’s season-long struggles against Southpaws, holding the Red Raiders to just one run, and the Cowboys used a three-run first inning to take control early en route to an 11-5 victory at Rip Griffin Park.

Masek masterful as Red Raiders topple No. 19 Cowboys 5-2 05/04/13 - 12:54am

Tech ace tosses complete game, scattering four hits to give Texas Tech Big 12 series-opening win over Cowboys

Trey Masek said Thursday that his arm felt better than it has all season, and certainly better than before he missed a month with arm and shoulder tendinitis. Friday night, Texas Tech’s ace proved as much, tossing a complete-game four-hitter, and the Red Raiders took advantage of a season-high four Oklahoma State errors for a 5-2 victory over the 19th-ranked Cowboys on Friday at Rip Griffin Park.

Red Raiders need to make headway with just two Big 12 series remaining 05/03/13 - 12:38am

Texas Tech hosts No. 19 Oklahoma State in key conference series

For all the struggles the youthful Texas Tech baseball team has had in 2013, their goals of making the postseason are still attainable, albeit with an extremely harder path. If the regular season ended today, the Red Raiders (21-24, 6-12) would be the eighth and final seed in the Big 12 Championships later this month in Oklahoma City. From there, the path becomes more difficult in trying to win the Big 12’s automatic berth into the NCAAs.

Cowboys coach hopes team will reflect dedication, enthusiasm of new staff

Josh Holliday knows what winning baseball looks like. He’s lived it as a player at Oklahoma State and as an assistant coach at North Carolina State, Georgia Tech and Arizona State. So when the OSU administration went looking for a coach to return Cowboys baseball to its glory days under Gary Ward and later Tom Holliday, they didn’t have to go far.
