Loss assures fourth losing record in last six seasons for Tech program

TEMPE, Ariz. — The Texas Tech baseball team jumped out to an early five-run lead, but No. 13 Arizona State scored eight unanswered and held the Red Raiders scoreless form the third inning on for an 8-5 victory Wednesday night at Packard Stadium. The loss drops the Red Raiders to 23-27 overall and ensures the program’s fourth overall losing record in the past six seasons with just three games to play, beginning Thursday at home against Baylor. Tech has not won fewer than 25 games in a season since 1987 (21-28).

Red Raiders in familiar position to seasons past that have not turned out well 05/16/13 - 12:12am

Ever the optimist, it never occurred to Texas Tech head coach Tim Tadlock that the Red Raiders would still be fighting for a berth in the Big 12 Championships next week in Oklahoma City. Despite having one of the most inexperienced teams in the nation with 25 newcomers and only nine returning players, the first-year Tech baseball coach was confident his team would be competing this week for one of the top seeds in the tournament, not the final one.

Bears looking to final weekend to catch eye of NCAA committee 05/16/13 - 12:13am

Baylor baseball coach Steve Smith insists his 2013 Bears are no different than any other team in the Big 12 Conference, in what has proven to be one of the most competitive years in the league from top to bottom. The Bears (26-23, 11-9 in Big 12) have decent middle-of-the-pack pitching and offense and are solid defensively. Like the rest of the conference, the difference comes down to timely hitting.

Tech begins four-game, four-day swing to end season hoping to build momentum for weekend series vs. Baylor

Texas Tech baseball coach Tim Tadlock had a plan in mind scheduling today’s game at Arizona State just one day prior to its Big 12 Conference regular season series finale against Baylor. The intent was to get the offense back in rhythm before the Bears hit town while at the same time setting up his pitching rotation for next week’s Big 12 Championships in Oklahoma City. But, like most everything else this season, nothing has gone to plan.

As one of the top recruiting coaches in college baseball, Tim Tadlock built a reputation of finding hidden gems and developing them into top-notch, quality players. Though the results in his first season as the head coach at Texas Tech may not show that at the moment, Tadlock is confident that all the struggles the Red Raiders have gone through will be beneficial in the end, and that, eventually, players currently struggling will soon be thriving.

Withrow, Red Raiders dispose of Dallas Baptist, 7-2 05/08/13 - 12:50am

Texas Tech finishes undefeated in home midweek games for first time since 2005

The way Matt Withrow is pitching, if Texas Tech can somehow squeeze into the Big 12 Championships in two weeks, he could be a huge factor in how far Tech advances. The freshman right-hander from Odessa had his third straight solid start for the Red Raiders on Tuesday, holding Dallas Baptist to just one run, and Tech erased the disappointment of Sunday’s loss to Oklahoma State with a 7-2 victory over the Patriots at Rip Griffin Park.
