AUSTIN — The Texas Tech baseball team was in prime position to capture its first Big 12 Conference series at Texas since 2001 on Saturday, March 16. The Red Raiders had ace right-hander Trey Masek on the mound, and Masek entered the game having not allowed a run in 32 innings on the season.

AUSTIN — Freshman Jarrard Poteete’s seventh-inning solo home run was the only run of the game as Dominic Moreno and Jerad McCrummen combined for Texas Tech’s sixth shutout of the season. This one, however, counted a little more as the Red Raiders opened Big 12 Conference play with a 1-0 victory over Texas Friday night at UFCU-Disch-Falk Field.

Red Raiders, Longhorns meet to open Big 12 Conference play 03/15/13 - 12:36am

Tech, UT statistically even on offense, defense; Longhorns have slight edge in pitching

Over the course of his playing and coaching career, Tim Tadlock has had several run-ins with the Texas Longhorns. So to him, going to Austin and opening Big 12 Conference play against the Longhorns is old hat, and he’s trying to get his young Red Raiders to think the same way. “The ‘wow’ factor as far as it being a conference game, I think they all count the same,” Tadlock said after Tech’s 6-0 win Wednesday over Utah Valley, “so we’re going to treat them the same.

Longhorns working through coaching staff changes 03/14/13 - 12:48am

Something had to give with Texas baseball. The formula that had worked so well and resulted in seven College World Series appearances and two national titles since 2000 had, right or wrong, suddenly come under fire after the Longhorns failed to make the NCAA tournament in 2012. UT was perceived to be a team that could not matchup offensively with some of the best teams in the nation, and without a dominant pitching staff — the Longhorns finished fifth in the Big 12 Conference last season in ERA — it was passed over for an NCAA at-large berth

Taylor's strong effort lifts Texas Tech to midweek sweep of Utah Valley 03/14/13 - 12:56am

Taylor fans season-high 12 as Red Raiders blank Wolverines 6-0

Corey Taylor had struggled mightily since the opening weekend of the season, so Wednesday’s start was a chance to show why the coaches still remained confident in him. Taylor took that opportunity and used it to its fullest, holding Utah Valley to just one hit in seven innings while striking out 12, and Texas Tech completed a midweek sweep of the Wolverines, 6-0, at Rip Griffin Park. “I just had to keep going,” said Taylor (2-2), who had made five appearances out of the bullpen since allowing 10 runs in four innings to Central Florida on Feb, 23.

Drozd, defense push Red Raiders to 9-2 win over Utah Valley 03/13/13 - 12:44am

Junior strikes out career-high 10 in victory

If Texas Tech baseball coach Tim Tadlock ever decides to change his weekend pitching rotation, Jonny Drozd has certainly placed himself as a leading candidate to take over a spot. The junior left-hander befuddled Utah Valley for seven innings, allowing only a pair of hits and a walk, and the Red Raiders backed him up with plenty of offense and some stellar defense in a 9-2 victory over the Wolverines Tuesday night at Rip Griffin Park.

The Red Raiders (19-8) plated four runs in the first, three in the second and seven in the third to put the game well in doubt midway through the afternoon. Tech pitcher Cara Custer did her part in the victory, scattering three singles in four innings, striking out four and earning her ninth win of the season.
