Texas Tech has one conference tournament championship as the Red Raiders won the event back in 1998. Texas Tech enters the conference tournament as the No. 5 seed for just the second time. The 2000 season marked the only other time that Tech finished fifth in the regular-season and earned the No. 5 seed. TECH VS. TOURNAMENT FIELD Texas A&M, Tech’s first opponent of the tournament, took 2-of-3 from the Red Raiders back in March when the two teams opened up Big 12 play at Olsen Field in College Station. Texas Tech is 3-3 all-time against the Aggies in the conference tournament but Texas A&M won the last meeting 11-4 in 2009. Like Texas A&M, the Texas Longhorns emerged victorious against the Red Raiders in a three-game series played at Dan Law Field. Tech won the first game 12-5 but the Longhorns closed out the series with wins on Saturday and Sunday. Texas Tech is just 1-3 against the Longhorns in the conference tournament with its only win coming on a Mark Austry game-ending RBI infield single in 2000. Texas Tech rebounded from a 12-8 loss in 10 innings against Missouri on Friday, April 30 and went on to win the series by posting victories of 5-4 and 16-15 on Saturday and Sunday. Texas Tech is 2-2 all-time against the Tigers in the conference tournament. TECH’S NCAA HOPES ON THE LINE Texas Tech’s NCAA Tournament hopes are on the line this week in Oklahoma City as the Red Raiders face three crucial games that will determine its postseason fate. The Red Raiders most likely need to get to Sunday in order to have a chance at an at-large berth in the NCAA Tournament that gets underway the first weekend of June. Tech suffered a three-game sweep at Nebraska over the weekend as the Red Raiders were without its top reliever, Chad Bettis, who is serving a four-game suspension. Texas Tech had an unofficial RPI of No. 54 as of Sunday morning.

BETTIS HAS ONE MORE GAME LEFT OF SUSPENSION Junior right-hander Chad Bettis will miss the game against Texas A&M on Wednesday as he completes the final game of a four-game suspension. Bettis was forced to serve the suspension after being ejected by home plate umpire Ken McQueen in the sixth inning of the Baylor series finale for supposedly throwing at Baylor catcher Gregg Glime. He began his suspension by sitting out all three games of the Nebraska series. DAN SPENCER FOR COACH OF THE YEAR With all due respect to the outstanding year by Augie Garriod and his Texas Longhorns, Texas Tech head coach Dan Spencer should get serious consideration for Big 12 Coach of the Year honors. After all, it was the Big 12 coaches that picked Spencer and company to finish last in the league race during the preseason and now the Red Raiders enter the tournament after posting a fifth place finish in the Big 12 regular-season. BARNES HITS THE BIG 12 WITH A BANG Freshman first baseman Barrett Barnes has made his case for freshman of the year honors in the Big 12 after a stellar first season for the Red Raiders. Barnes, a native of Sugarland, Texas, ended the regular-season with a .338 average along with 18 doubles, two triples, 12 home runs and 50 RBIs. In Big 12 play, Barnes led all his fellow league freshmen with a .352 average. He also belted seven home runs and nine doubles while driving in 22 runs. Earned Big 12 Player of the Week honors on April 19 after hitting .529 in four games against Dallas Baptist and Oklahoma. Leads the team with 21 multiple-hit games and is second with 14 multiple-RBI games. Seeking to become the first Texas Tech player to earn Big 12 Freshman of the Year honors since Roger Kieschnick in 2006.

REED ENJOYING SOLID SENIOR YEAR Senior left fielder Michael Reed is flourishing in his senior season with the Red Raiders and has made drastic defensive improvements. Reed leads the squad with a .343 average and is fourth on the squad with 38 RBIs. He has hit safely in 27 of the last 33 games and during that stretch he has tallied 13 multiple-hit games. In 2009, he committed four errors in tthe outfield and after 51 games of 2010, he has only been charged with one. BETTIS SETS ANOTHER RECORD TTexas Tech’s all-time saves leader added another line to his Red Raider resume on Saturday, May 15 as he notched his 10th save of the season against Baylor. That 10th save ties tthe Texas Tech single-season record that was previously set by Brandon Roberson back in 1999. His 10 saves currently rank third in the Big 12 in total games. His seven saves in Big 12 play rank first in the conference. Leads the team with 78 1/3 innings pitched and has made six starts and 17 relief appearances. TECH T NOW FOURTH NATIONALLY IN DOUBLES T Texas Tech’s 156 team doubles ranks as the fourth best total in the nation as of the NCAA rankings on Tuesday, May 18. The T 148 team doubles stands as the fifth best single-season total t in school history. Team T Doubles - National 1. Utah Valley State 180 2. Campbell 159 Kent State 159 4. 156 4 Texas Tech LEJEUNE ON TRACK FOR SCHOOL RECORD Sophomore designated hitter/outfielder Scott LeJeune is well w on his way to a new school record for the most doubles in a single season. LeJeune, the Big 12 leader in doubles, currently has 27 to his credit and needs just two more to tie t the single-season record of 29 set by Jason Landreth in 1997. Occupies sole possession of third place on the school’s single-season doubles list. Ranks sixth nationally but is just four doubles shy of national leader Ellis Lowe of Campbell. ASHBY A MOVES INTO TOP 10 IN CAREER HITS With W 226 career hits, senior centerfielder Taylor Ashby has moved past Roger Kieschnick’s (2006-08) into fourth place on the school’s career hits list. Ashby will need 10 hits the rest of the way in order to move past Randy DuRoss (199295) into third place. DuRoss racked up 235 hits during his f four-year career. Ranks third on the career games played list with 213. Ranks second on the career at-bats list with 773. Owns sole possession of fourth place on the school’s career doubles list with 46 ... needs just two more to move into a tie for third with Keith Ginter (1997-98). Had his streak of 74 consecutive starts snapped at TCU on March 14 as he was held from the game due to soreness in his back. TECH T IN THE TOP 30 IN HOME ATTENDANCE After over 50 games of the 2010 college baseball season, T Texas Tech finds itself in the Top 30 nationally in average home attendance. With an average crowd of 2,491 over 31 games, Tech sits at No. 26 nationally behind fellow Big 12 opponents Texas (No. 5), Texas A&M (No. 10), Nebraska (No. 22) and Baylor (No. 24). QUICK STRIKES Texas Tech won five of nine Big 12 series to finish in fifth place in the final league standings. Tech posted series wins over No. 2 seed Oklahoma, No. 3 seed Kansas State, No. 7 seed Kansas, No. 8 seed Missouri and Oklahoma State. Sophomore designated hitter Scott LeJeune leads the
team with 17 multiple-RBI games and ranks second with 20 multiple-hit games. He is also riding a career-high 17-game hit streak that began on April 17. Senior shortstop Joey Kenworthy picked up his 44th career double over the weekend at Nebraska and now ranks fifth all-time at Texas Tech in career doubles. Texas Tech enters the Big 12 Championships with only nine total pitchers on its staff. YEP, HE’S A RED RAIDER Former Red Raider Dallas Braden pitched a perfect game on Sunday, May 9 against the Tampa Bay Rays and became only the 19th pitcher in MLB history to accomplish the feat. Braden pitched one season at Texas Tech in 2004 and led the Red Raiders to their last NCAA Tournament berth. DORAN NAMED CO-NATIONAL PITCHER OF THE WEEK After one of the great pitching performances in school history, junior right-hander Bobby Doran was rightfully rewarded with Co-National Pitcher of the Week honors from Collegiate Baseball Magazine. Doran, a junior from Flower Mound, Texas, was two strikeouts away from matching the Tech single-game record. Doran’s 8 1/3 innings, however, was instrumental in helping Tech rest its bullpen after an extra-inning loss the night before as the right-hander allowed three earned runs over that period for his fourth win of the season. Doran, who shared the honor with Clint Dempster of Nicholl’s State, is the first Tech player to receive the national pitching award since Miles Morgan did so following his 15-strikeout performance against Texas on March 18, 2006, which was also the previous individual high for strikeouts in a single game entering last weekend. TECH DOUBLES ITS WAY TO WIN OVER KANSAS Texas Tech doubled its way to series win over Kansas on Sunday, April 24 and in the process the Red Raiders tied the school and Big 12 record. Tech pounded out 12 doubles in a 21-10 win over the Jayhawks in the series finale and that tied the school and Big 12 record for most in a game that was previously set by the Red Raiders against Valley City State back on March 18, 1998. The Red Raiders belted seven of their 12 doubles against Kansas in the top half of the second inning. The seven doubles in that frame fell just one shy of the NCAA record of eight in an inning by LSU against Georgia Tech in 1996. Junior catcher Jeremy Mayo was responsible for three doubles in the game while Joey Kenworthy and Jamodrick McGruder each added two. BARNES NAMED BIG 12 PLAYER OF THE WEEK Freshman first baseman Barrett Barnes, who was instrumental in a midweek win over Dallas Baptist and a crucial series victory over No. 11 Oklahoma, picked up the first Big 12 Player of the Week honor of his career on Monday, April 19. Barnes, a freshman from Sugarland, had a big week offensively for the Red Raiders and helped propel Tech to a 4-1 record and a rise to sole possession of third place in the Big 12 standings. For the week, Barnes hit .529 (9-for-17) including a double, two home runs and five RBIs. Both of his home runs came in the weekend series against Oklahoma and he now leads the team with nine and is tied for fourth in the Big 12. In the four games last week, he compiled a .600 on-base percentage with 16 total bases. Barnes is the second Red Raider to earn weekly honors from the Big 12 this season as teammate Chad Bettis earned the pitcher accolade back on Feb. 22. HOLY COMEBACK Texas Tech did something in the series finale at Oklahoma State that it hadn’t done all year long - make a comeback. Trailing by a run and down to the last strike in the top of the ninth, sophomore Scott LeJeune came through in the clutch as he dropped a three-run home run over the left field wall to give Tech a 5-3 lead. Chad Bettis pitched a shutout ninth inning and that gave the Red Raiders their first road series win of the season. It also marked Tech’s first comeback win of the season as the Red Raiders had never overcome a deficit after the sixth inning in 34 previous games. Texas Tech picked up its first road series win of the season with the 5-3 victory of the Cowboys. It is the first road series win for Tech since taking 2-of-3 last year at No. 10 Kansas State. Tech picked up its first road series win at Allie P. Reynolds Stadium since 2004. In that series in 2004, Tech scored

HEAD COACH DAN SPENCER Determined. Aggressive. Champion.
nine runs in the top of the ninth to take an 11-8 come-frombehind win over the Cowboys and won the series 2-1. Texas Tech earned its first series win over Oklahoma State since 2005.
These three words are accurate descriptions of a man hired by Texas Tech to rebuild its baseball program and return the Red Raiders to the national spotlight. These three words are the heart and soul of Dan Spencer. However, the measure of a coach is not the words used to describe himself but instead the characteristics he installs into his team. In his first season as head coach in 2009, his team showed determination and aggression and now he will use that mentality to lead the Red Raiders down the road to becoming champions. Hired in the summer of 2008 to replace a Texas Tech legend in Larry Hays, Spencer embraced the challenge and wasted no time in building a foundation for the Red Raider Baseball program in which to build a championship contender. Prior to his taking over the reins, Texas Tech had missed out on the Big 12 tournament in each of the last two years and posted last place finishes in the conference both of those seasons. Spencer’s first squad defied all the preseason prognostications and he led the Red Raiders to a seventh place finish in 2009 and a return to Oklahoma City for the conference tournament. In their return to Oklahoma City, the Red Raiders posted an upset win over Missouri and found themselves just one win away from the championship game. When hired back in 2008, he became just the eighth head coach in school history joining E.Y. Freeland (192527), R. Higginbotham (1928-29), Bettie Feathers (195460), Berl Huffman (1961-67), Kal Segrist (1968-83), Gary Ashby (1984-86) and Larry Hays (1987-2008). He joined Gary Ashby as the only two head coaches in school history that spent their college playing careers at Texas Tech as he lettered in 1985-87. Spencer, 44, rejoined the Texas Tech Baseball family back on July 2, 2007 when he was named associate head coach on the staff of former head coach Larry Hays. He spent the 2008 season in that role where he coached the pitchers and catchers and headed Tech’s recruiting front. His 2008 pitching staff produced two top-10 round MLB draft picks in juniors Zach Stewart and James Leverton, both of which had never been drafted prior to this season. Stewart was taken in the third round of the draft by the Cincinnati Reds while Leverton was taken in the eighth round by the Chicago Cubs. Prior to his arrival back at Texas Tech, he spent 11 seasons at Oregon State, the last three as associate head coach where he served as pitching/catching coach and recruiting coordinator. His pitching staffs during the last two seasons of his OSU tenure were instrumental in helping the Beavers become the first back-to-back College World Series Champions since LSU in the late 1990s. In those two seasons, his staffs compiled 3.41 and 3.48 cumulative ERAs while leading the team to 50-16 and 49-18 respective records. His group led the Pac-10 in ERA in both 2005 and 2006 while his bullpen helped pave the way to back-to-back national titles by contributing 20-plus saves in both 2006 and 2007. Under his leadership, the Beavers had three pitchers and one catcher named to All-America teams and seven drafted in the top 10 rounds of the MLB Draft. Eddie Kunz, the ace of the 2007 staff, and catcher Mitch Canhan, the squad’s leading hitter, were both first round draft selections in the 2007 MLB Draft. His collegiate coaching career began at the junior college level six years prior to arriving at Oregon State as he landed his first job as an assistant coach at Tacoma Community College in Tacoma, Wash., in 1991. After just one season in Tacoma, he picked up his first head coaching position as he took over the program at Green River Community College in 1992. While at Green River, he compiled a record of 131-67 between 1992 and 1996. He and his wife, Susie, have three children: Wade, Logan and Elizabeth.
HOLY COMEBACK, PART TWO Just J when you thought Sunday’s game was exciting, you should have been in Dallas on Wednesday night for Tech’s match-up against Dallas Baptist. The Red Raiders allowed nine runs in the first inning (seven charged to starter Brandon Petite who was pulled before recording a single out) and found themselves in a huge hole in what was a critical non-conference game. A three-run home run by Nick Popescu and a solo dinger by Jamodrick McGruder cut the t deficit to five runs in the top of the second and jumpstarted a huge Red Raider comeback. Tech eventually tied the t game at 10-10 with a four-run outburst in the fifth and then t grabbed an 11-10 lead with a single run in the sixth. Dallas Baptist tied the game at 11-11 with a solo run in the eighth but Tech sealed the win with two runs in the ninth. Senior outfielder Bonham Hough laced a ball up the middle that t was misplayed by DBU shortstop Austin Elkins and that was w enough to score two runs and gave Tech a 13-11 win as Chad Bettis pitched a shutout in the bottom of the ninth. The comeback was the largest for a Texas Tech team in 10 years. In 2000, Tech overcame a 10-run deficit after falling behind 12-2 and defeated UTSA 15-12 on May 3.

NEELY TO MISS THE REMAINDER OF THE SEASON J Junior right-hander John Neely, who assumed the Friday night starting role against Texas, will miss the remainder of t season after suffering a broken right hand. His last outthe ing was the series opener against Kansas State on April 1. IN HONOR OF NO. 9 Former Red Raider first baseman Mark Austry (1998-2000) collapsed and died after crossing the finish line at the Rock ‘N Roll Half-Marathon in Dallas shortly after noon on Sunday. Austry, a Fort Worth native, was a three-year letterwinner w here at Texas Tech and played in 177 games during his career. He helped lead the Red Raiders to the Big 12 Tournament Championship in 1998 and NCAA Tournament appearances in 1998, 1999 and 2000. Austry was a key offensive contributor during his career but will long be remembered for his game-winning RBI single with two outs in the bottom of the ninth that gave the Red Raiders a 4-3 win w over rival Texas and eliminated the Longhorns from the 2000 Big 12 Conference Tournament. That win sent Texas Tech to the semifinals of the conference tournament and T locked up an NCAA Regional bid for the Red Raiders. Mark was in Lubbock back in February to help this year’s team kickoff the season as he took part in the Alumni y game and was joined by numerous former teammates and f friends. He was 32 years old and leaves behind his Mariana Alvarez Austry and two young daughters Isabella and Anna. Junior first baseman Stephen Hagen wore Mark’s No. 9 j jersey in his memory against Texas State. MAYO NAMED TO JOHNNY BENCH AWARD WATCH LIST J Junior catcher Jeremy Mayo has been named one of 53 preseason candidates for the 2010 Johnny Bench Award which honors the nation’s top collegiate catcher and is presented annually by The Greater Wichita Area Sports Commission. He is one of four catchers from the Big 12 Conference named to the list as he joins Oklahoma State’s Kevin David, T Texas’ Cameron Rupp and Oklahoma’s Tyler Ogle. BETTIS NAMED BIG 12 CO-PITCHER OF THE WEEK J Junior right-hander Chad Bettis was named the Big 12 CoPitcher of the Week on Monday, Feb. 21 for his performance on Opening Day against Jacksonville State. He shared the honor with Baylor RHP Shawn Tolleson. Bettis, a product of Lubbock Monterey High School, w spectacular for the Red Raiders in their season opener was against Jacksonville State on Friday. He retired the first 13 Gamecock batters he faced and tossed six shutout frames before allowing his only run of the night in the seventh inning. In all, Bettis allowed just one run on four hits and two w walks while striking out four over seven innings of work.
hits, including two home runs and a game-high six RBIs to lead Tech to an 8-3 win over the Gamecocks. He became the first Red Raider freshman to hit a home run and drive in six runs in a debut since Kieschnick did so against LouisanaMonroe back in 2006. In all, Barnes tallied nine RBIs on the weekend along with a .400 batting average and was named the Red Raider Classic’s most valuable player. His nine RBIs, two home runs and seven runs scored currently lead the Big 12 Conference. STARTING PITCHERS “DEAL” IN RED RAIDER CLASSIC Texas Tech got outstanding starting pitching performances in all four games of the Red Raider Classic, including one that was awarded the Big 12 Co-Pitcher of the Week honor. Starters Chad Bettis, Bobby Doran, Louis Head and Jordan Stern combined for 17 shutout innings while allowing just three total earned runs. The three runs allowed over 21 innings gave Tech starters a 1.29 ERA. Chad Bettis posted seven innings of work while Bobby Doran and Louis Head each went five and Jordan Stern closed out the weekend with four shutout frames against Jacksonville State. NINE PLAYERS NAMED TO RRC ALL-TOURNAMENT TEAM Texas Tech placed nine players on the Red Raider Classic All-Tournament team: Jeremy Mayo (catcher), Joey Kenworthy (shortstop), Nick Popescu (third base), Michael Reed (left field), Taylor Ashby (center field), Barrett Barnes (right field), Chad Bettis (starting pitcher), Louis Head (starting pitcher) and Brett Bruening (relief pitcher). Barrett Barnes was named the MVP. BETTIS NAMED TO GOLDEN SPIKES WATCH LIST Junior right-hander Chad Bettis is one of 50 preseason candidates for the 2010 USA Baseball Golden Spikes Award, which is presented annually to the nation’s top collegiate player. Bettis, a junior product of Lubbock Monterey High School, compiled a 6-1 record along with seven saves and a 3.59 earned run average in 2009. He factored into 17 of Tech’s 25 wins last year and was rewarded with honorable mention All-Big 12 honors from the league coaches. 2010 SCHEDULE IS NO CAKE WALK Texas Tech has a daunting task ahead of them in 2010 as Boyd Nation of boydsworld.com has calculated the Red Raider’s strength of schedule at No. 11 nationally. Tech has the third toughest schedule amongst Big 12 schools behind No. 1 Baylor and No. 9 Texas A&M. No. 19 Kansas, No. 20 Texas and No. 25 Missouri round out the top 25 from the Big 12. In all, the Red Raiders will face 14 teams on the slate that advanced to last year’s NCAA Tournament. Boydnation.com Top 11 (Preseason Strength of Schedule) 1. Baylor 2. UCLA 3. Washington 4.

TEXAS TECH RED RAIDERS THANKFUL FOR EXTRA WEEK The NCAA gave schools all across the country a little bit of breathing room in 2010 as the spring schedule will now cover 56 games in 13 weeks as compared to 12 weeks in 2009. The week long extension, opposed by only a few, will reduce the number of two-game series in the midweek and should hopefully increase the amount of time spent in the classroom. As a result, Texas Tech will only play four two-game midweek series in 2010 as opposed to the seven played last season. The future of NCAA baseball could see the extra week being given at the end of the season which would move the College World Series back one week. NEW FACES ON THE MOUND The 2010 season will bring about several new faces on the mound for the Red Raiders as eight new pitchers will join six returning letterman to make up the Texas Tech staff. A total of five transfers will be called upon to help make an immediate impact and they will be joined by two newcomers from the high school ranks and one who completed a redshirt in 2009. Transfers Bobby Doran, Brett Bruening and Jay Johnson are expected to figure into major roles on the staff with Doran and Bruening taking up starting roles with

Johnson serving as the closer. Sophomore Louis Head, who spent most of his freshman season as a middle reliever, is expected to be a midweek starter but could also earn a spot on the weekend. BETTIS TO LEAD TECH STAFF Junior right-hander Chad Bettis will move out of the closer role in 2010 and move into a new role as Tech’s Friday starter. Bettis, a Lubbock native, spent his freshman season as Tech’s Sunday starter before moving up a day to Saturday at the beginning of the 2009 season. Tech’s struggles in the bullpen forced Dan Spencer and Ed Gustafson to move Bettis to the closer role and it turned out to be a great move for the Red Raiders. He ended the 2009 season with a team-leading 3.59 ERA along with a 6-1 record and seven saves. Bettis, who is draft-eligible, has been predicted by many as a first-round selection in the 2010 MLB Draft and is listed as the second best prospect in the Big 12 this season according to Baseball America. Baseball America also proclaims Bettis to have the best fastball (94-96) in the league and named him to their preseason All-Big 12 team as one of three starting pitchers. He is listed as the No. 21 prospect nationally according to Perfect Game Crosschecker. KENWORTHY SET TO ANCHOR TECH INFIELD Returning for his fourth and final season, senior shortstop Joey Kenworthy will be looking to build upon his best season as a Red Raider in 2009. Last season, the 5-5, 160lb product from Houston, finished second on the team with a .335 batting average while playing in all 57 games and making 56 starts. He will be the veteran on a Tech infield that is still relatively young with sophomores at both second and third and a junior transfer at first base. In 2009, Kenworthy was a difficult out for opposing pitchers as he struckout just 24 times in 230 at-bats and led the team in runs scored with 77. TECH HOPES YOUTHFUL ’09 PAYS OFF IN ‘10 Texas Tech’s rebuilding process under Dan Spencer heads into its second year but the Red Raiders have big goals for 2010, including a return to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2004. Last season, Texas Tech had five freshmen make significant contributions over the course of the season, including three infielders who combined for 113 starts. Garrett Totten and Justin Berry, now sophomores, enter the year as the starters at second and third, respectively, while Scott LeJeune will again serve as the designated hitter. Kevin Whitehead, who made 20 starts behind the plate his freshman season, will again backup junior catcher Jeremy Mayo but could also see time as the designated hitter. Louis Head, a middle reliever who made 20 appearances his freshman year, is expected to nail down a starting role in his sophomore campaign. CLASSROOM SUCCESS The Red Raider baseball team got their 2010 season off to a good start but it had nothing to do with anything on the field. During the fall, the Red Raiders made a big splash in the classroom as 20 players were named to the Big 12 Fall Honor Roll after ending the semester with a 3.0 or higher GPA. O’CANADA For the first time since the 2002 season, the Tech Hecklers will have a good reason to sing “O’Canada.” The 2010 Red Raiders will feature two players from north of the border as freshman RHP Brandon Petite and sophomore LHP Jay Johnson hail from Canada. Petite comes to Texas Tech from Vauxhall Academy in Glace Bay, Nova Scotia while Johnson is a sophomore transfer from Prairie Baseball Academy and a native of Sussex Corner, New Brunswick. Chad Ertel, a right-handed pitcher, was Tech’s last Canadian born player and played for Red Raiders in 2001 and 2002 and was part of two NCAA Tournament squads. Possibly the most popular Canadian to play for Tech, was second baseman Stubby Clapp who lettered in 1996. WE WILL PROTECT THIS HOUSE Texas Tech Athletics is in its first year of a department wide apparel contract with Under Armour. Under Armour, one of the fast growing athletic apparel companies in the world, outfits all 17 teams at Texas Tech as well as the administrative staff. The Red Raider baseball team will debut six new uniforms this season: traditional red, traditional black, gray, white pinstripe, gray pinstripe and a throwback. A com-
plete photo gallery of these new uniforms is located at texastech.com. HOME SWEET HOME After an arduous travel schedule in 2009, the Red Raiders are thrilled to be playing the majority of their games in 2010 within the friendly confines of Dan Law Field. Texas Tech will play 32 of its 56 regular-season games at home, including five Big 12 series. Last season, Texas Tech played just 22 games at home and only four conference series. The Red Raiders open up the 2010 season with a 10-game homestand before making their first road trip in early March (5-7) to the Houston College Classic at Minute Maid Park. In 2009, Tech played its first six games at home before embarking on a seven game, 11-day road trip through the state of California. Texas Tech will face Big 12 foes Texas, Kansas State, Oklahoma, Missouri and Baylor all at home. FSN HEADED TO DAN LAW FIELD FSN (Fox Sports Net) will make its inaugural visit to Dan Law Field in late March when the Red Raiders face the Texas Longhorns in a three-game Big 12 series. FSN announced in late January that Tech’s game against the Longhorns on Sunday, March 28 would be part of the Big 12 FSN baseball television package and first pitch would be moved back to noon. The game will mark the first time in history that the network has televised a game live from Dan Law Field. PRESEASON PREDICTIONS The college baseball prognosticators and league coaches have spoken in terms of how each group foresees the Big 12 will play out in 2010. Texas Tech has been picked to finish sixth by Baseball America, ninth by Rivals, eighth by the thecollegebaseballblog.com, seventh by collegebaseballtoday. com and 10th by the league coaches.

TEXAS TECH NOTES FROM THE OFFSEASON Sophomore third baseman Justin Berry underwent successful hip surgery in Vail, Colo., in June to repair an impingement and torn labrum. He is at full strength as the Red Raiders open up the 2010 season. Duke Vonschamann (INF/RHP), Robbie Kilcrease (LHP), Nick Hanslik (UTL) and Zach Fowler (LHP) will miss the 2010 season due to injury as all four underwent elbow surgery this fall. Texas Tech is currently in the fundraising process to renovate Dan Law Field. Tech head coach Dan Spencer is trying to raise between $10-15 million to give the home of the Red Raiders a complete overhaul. The Tech baseball team took part in the annual Susan G. Komen Race For the Cure event in Lubbock for the second consecutive season on Oct. 3, 2009. The squad served as course coordinators for the event which drew 8,000 participants and raises thousands of dollars for breast cancer research. The Texas Tech Department of Athletics announced the formation of an annual baseball tournament to be held each year at Dan Law Field. The Brooks Wallace Memorial Classic will be held on an annual basis and is dedicated to the memory of former shortstop Brooks Wallace (1977-80). Wallace is known on the national level as the College Baseball Foundation honors the nation’s top collegiate shortstop with the Brooks Wallace Award. This year’s Brooks Wallace Memorial Classic will be held Feb. 25-28 and will feature Bethune-Cookman, Washington State and Texas Tech. Texas Tech announced its 2011 signing class with the inking of 10 student-athletes to national letters of intent or financial aid agreements. The class consists of: Parker Bridwell, RHP, Hereford, Texas (Hereford High School), Daniel Coulombe, LHP, Scottsdale, Ariz. (USC/South Mountain Community College), Hayden Holub, RHP, Seymour, Texas (Seward County Community College), Jordan Lopez, OF, Edmond, Okla. (Santa Fe High School), Trey Masek, RHP/ OF, Giddings, Texas (Giddings High School), David Paiz, INF,

(Jenks High School), Kelby Tomlinson, INF, Elgin, Okla. (Seward County Community College) Former Red Raider pitcher Dustin Richardson (2005-06) made his major league debut this fall (Sept. 28) with the Boston Red Sox. Richardson pitched 1 1/3 shutout innings against the Toronto Blue Jays in his debut while becoming the 20th former Red Raider to earn a major league call-up. Junior transfer Stephen Hagen, the national JUCO home run leader last season at Eastern Oklahoma State, tied the knot in fall as he and his wife Jenny were married on Sept. 19. Hagen is not the only married player on team, however, as senior transfer Bonham Hough is also “hitched.” He is and his wife Misty moved to Lubbock this past summer after he transferred from UT-Pan American. Former Red Raider outfielder Jon Webber (1999) earned a spot on the 2009 USA Baseball World Cup Team and helped guide the United States to a gold medal. The U.S. defeated Cuba 10-5 in the IBAF (International Baseball Federation) gold medal game for it second consecutive world title. RHP Chad Bettis earned a spot on the 2009 USA Baseball Collegiate National Team and spent the summer traveling with Team USA across the country as well as to Japan and Canada. Bettis compiled three saves in nine appearances (nine innings pitched) as the staff closer and registered a 3.00 ERA. The team won the 2009 World Baseball Challenge with an 8-1 win over Germany at Prince George Citizen Field in Prince George, British Columbia on July 26. Three Red Raiders were selected in day two of the 2009 MLB Draft. Junior RHP Nate Karns was taken in the 12th round by the Washington Nationals while seniors AJ Ramos and Chris Richburg were taken in the 21st and 23rd rounds, respectively. Ramos was taken by the Florida Marlins while Richburg was selected by the Cincinnati Reds. Two newcomers to the Tech program were also drafted as sophomore LHP Jay Johnson was taken in the 25th round by Baltimore and freshman RHP Brandon Petite by Houston in the 30th round. 2009 SEASON IN REVIEW After a missing the Big 12 Conference Championship in Oklahoma City each of the last two years, the Red Raiders put an end to that skid and reached the tournament as the No. 7 seed. Texas Tech was picked to finish eighth in the league in a preseason poll by the coaches but a strong finish put the Red Raiders in seventh place. While in Oklahoma City, Texas Tech continued to make waves as they shook off an opening game loss to No. 2 seed Oklahoma and defeated No. 3 seed Missouri 4-2. The win over Missouri snapped a six-game losing skid for Tech in the conference tournament and was its first win since beating No. 1 seed Nebraska in the first game of the 2005 tournament. Texas Tech was one win away (needed to beat Texas A&M on Saturday) from reaching the championship game in Oklahoma City. Texas Tech’s win over Missouri in Oklahoma City gave the Red Raiders at least one win over every single team in the Big 12. Tech had not accomplished this feat since the 2000 season and it marked just the fourth time overall (1997, 1999, 2000 and 2009). Texas Tech won five Friday night games in the Big 12 and that was the most for the program since the 2002 season. Texas Tech won four Big 12 series during the year and that was the most for the program since 2004.

2005 BIG 12 CHAMPIONSHIP (NO. 8 SEED)
T
exas Tech didn’t know its Big 12 Tournament fate until the final weekend of the season as the Red Raiders traveled to Norman for a three-game series against Oklahoma. The Red Raiders weren’t able to pick up a win in Norman but a series sweep by Texas over Texas A&M gave Tech the final spot in the postseason tournament. Texas Tech went 9-16 in the Big 12 in 2005 and was forced to meet top-seeded Nebraska in the first game ot the tourney. After a big upset of the fourth-ranked Huskers, Tech’s season came to an end as the Red Raiders were eliminated from tournament play after losses to Missouri and Nebraska.
GAME ONE VS. NEBRASKA Texas Tech became the fourth No. 8 seed to defeat a No. 1 seed in the first round of the Big 12 Tournament as Tech dropped fourth-ranked Nebraska 5-3. Junior right-hander Billy Carnline tossed a season-high 147 pitches over 7 1/3 innings but suffered a no-decision as Adam Lawford earned the win in 1 2/3 innings of relief. Senior third baseman Carey Avants went 2-for-5 with three RBI to lead the Tech offense. GAME TWO VS. MISSOURI Unfortuantely for Texas Tech, the Red Raiders ran into Missouri and RHP Max Scherzer the following day and the Tigers sent Tech into the loser’s bracket with a 10-1 win. The nine-run loss tied the largest loss suffered by Tech in Big 12 Tournament history and was Scherzer’s second win over the Red Raiders in 2005. Scherzer and reliever Andrew Johnston held the Tech offense to just three hits on the night and the Tech defense surrendered five unearned runs on three errors. GAME THREE VS. NEBRASKA Nebraska ended Texas Tech’s 2005 season with a 2-1 win in what was an elimination game for both teams. The Huskers went on to win the 2005 Big 12 Tournament title by posting a win over Baylor in the championship game. Senior RHP Tanner McElroy pitched a complete game for the Red Raiders but the Tech offense was unable to solve Husker freshman Johnny Dorn. Dorn allowed just one run on five hits in a complete game effort of his own to earn the win for Nebraska.

2006 BIG 12 CHAMPIONSHIP (NO. 8 SEED)
F
or the third consecutive year, Texas Tech managed to qualify for the conference tournament despite the youth of this year’s Red Raider team. Tech finished the season 31-26 overall and 9-16-1 in conference, landing in the eighth and final spot for the conference tournament. The Red Raiders were forced to meet top-seeded Texas in the first game of the tournament. After a strong showing against the Longhorns during conference play, Texas would show their power early as they cruised to a 4-0 win in the opening game. Unfortunately, Tech’s season was brought to an end following consecutive losses to Nebraska and Baylor to finish the tournament.
GAME ONE VS. TEXAS Texas Tech suffered its first shutout loss in 88 games as Kenn Kasparek and the Longhorns limited the Red Raiders to little offense as Tech only recorded five hits for the game. The Tech defense had a hard time defending the plate as only seven hits were allowed but four runs were surrendered. The 2006 Big 12 Freshman Pitcher of the Year Miles Morgan was charged with the loss in his first conference tournament appearance.
GAME TWO VS. NEBRASKA Unfortunately, the Red Raiders hopes of a conference championship were over before they took the field against the Huskers as Texas defeated Baylor earlier in the day, leaving both Tech and Baylor out of contention for the crown. However, the Red Raiders came out strong against the No. 11 Huskers and held a 3-2 lead in the top of the sixth until Nebraska exploded with a four-run inning to hand Tech its second loss of the tournament.
GAME THREE VS. BAYLOR The Texas Tech defense surrendered four unearned runs in the sixth inning and never seemed to be able to recover as the Baylor Bears took a 5-3 lead and never looked back. With the loss, Tech extended its losing streak to six games marking the longest losing streak since the 1992 season. Tech exited the 2006 tournament without winning a single game for the third time since 1999.

2009 BIG 12 CHAMPIONSHIP (NO. 8 SEED)
U
nder first-year head coach Dan Spencer, the Red Raiders made a triumphant return to the Big 12 Conference Championship after a two-year hiatus. Tech’s tournament appearance was its first since the 2006 season and the Red Raiders secured a spot with a series win at No. 10 Kansas State in early May. The Red Raiders entered the tournament knowing that they had to win it in order to continue their season in the Big Dance. After suffering an opening-round loss to Oklahoma, Tech fired back with a 4-2 win over Missouri that put the Red Raiders back into contention. Tech found itself matched up against rival Texas A&M on Saturday and a win would have put the Red Raiders into Sunday’s championship game. The Red Raiders, however, were able to pull it off and the Aggies ended Tech’s 2009 season with an 11-4 win. GAME ONE VS. OKLAHOMA No. 8 Oklahoma rebounded from a 2-0 deficit in the top of the fourth with two runs of its own in the bottom half of the inning and then tacked on three in the next two innings to earn a 5-2 win. Andrew Doyle earned his second win of the year against the Red Raiders after turning in eight strong innings allowing just two runs on four hits. AJ Ramos took the loss for Tech after allowing five runs on eight hits over 5 2/3 innings.
GAME TWO VS. MISSOURI Junior right-hander Nate Karns pitched six strong innings and closer Chad Bettis tidied things up with three innings of relief to lead Tech to a 4-2 win over the Tigers. Karns only allowed one unearned run on two hits while striking out seven in what was undoubtedly his best outing of the season. Taylor Ashby and Michael Reed each posted two hits and drove in one run each. GAME THREE VS. TEXAS A&M Texas Tech needed a win over the Aggies in order to make its first Big 12 Tournament championship game since 1998 but that was not meant to be as Miles Morgan allowed five runs in just 1 2/3 innings and A&M went on to win 11-4. Tech walked nine batters in the game which turned out to be a Big 12 Tournament record for any Red Raider pitching staff. Garrett Totten and Jeremy Mayo each had two hits in the game to lead the offense.

TEXAS TECH vs. TEXAS A&M March 19-21, 2010 - Olsen Field, College Station, Texas Texas A&M won the series 2-1 NO. 23 TEXAS A&M 6, TEXAS TECH 3 COLLEGE STATION, Texas – Texas Tech committed three errors that led to four unearned Texas A&M runs and that was the difference as the No. 23 Aggies held off the Red Raiders 6-3 on Friday night in the Big 12 opener in front of 4,006 fans at Olsen Field.
NO. 23 TEXAS A&M 5, TEXAS TECH 4 COLLEGE STATION, Texas – Texas A&M’s Broadie Green blasted a two-out RBI triple to right field in the bottom of the eighth to give the No. 23 Aggies a 5-4 series-clinching win over Texas Tech on a cold and windy Saturday evening at Olsen Field.
The loss is Tech’s sixth consecutive and gives the Red Raiders an 8-10 overall record and a 0-1 mark in Big 12 Conference play. Texas A&M improves to 14-4 and to 1-0 in league action.
The loss drops Texas Tech to 8-12 on the season (0-2 in Big 12 play) and pushes Tech’s losing skid to eight games, the longest such streak since 1987. Texas A&M clinches this series and improves to 15-3 overall and to 2-0 in Big 12 play.
The story of the night was defensive miscues and a seasonhigh 15 strikeouts by the Tech offense. A&M scored two unearned runs in the second and one each in the sixth and seventh as Tech committed single errors in each of those frames. A&M right-hander Barrett Loux struckout 10 Tech hitters over 5 2/3 innings while closer John Stilson struckout five over the final 3 1/3.
With the game tied at 4-4 and two outs in the bottom of the eighth, the Aggies went to work as Scott Arthur reached on a single to left and then Broadie Greene drove him home with an RBI triple to right that gave the Aggies a 5-4 lead. The triple was the second of the evening for Greene and he finished the night 3-for-5 at the plate.
The Red Raiders quickly jumped out to an early lead when freshman right fielder Jamodrick McGruder led off the game with a single to right and senior shortstop Joey Kenworthy followed him with a two-run home run to right-center that put Tech up 2-0 after a half inning. The Aggies got on the board in the bottom of the second with an RBI single from left fielder Joaquin Hinojosa that cut the Tech lead to 2-1. A throwing error by Kenworthy with two outs prolonged the inning and A&M shortstop Broadie Greene took advantage and drilled a two-run single into left that plated two runs and gave the Aggies a 3-2 lead. The two runs were unearned and the Aggies never relinquished the lead. A&M scored single runs in the third, sixth and seventh innings to build a 6-2 lead heading into the ninth. In the ninth, sophomore designated hitter Scott LeJeune led off the frame with a double to right and two outs later pinch hitter Kevin Whitehead drove him in with a single to center. The RBI single by Whitehead could have been the go-ahead run for the Red Raiders if not for allowing the four unearned runs. Junior RHP John Neely was saddled with the loss for Tech after allowing four runs (two earned) on eight hits while striking out four over three innings of work. Barrett Loux took the win for the Aggies by limiting Tech to two runs on four hits over 5 2/3 innings. John Stilson earned his third save.
All five of Texas A&M’s runs were scored with two outs and the Aggies staked an early 2-0 lead in the bottom half of the second. Aggie left fielder Adam Smith drove in the first run with a single through the left side and right fielder Tyler Naquin finished out the scoring with an RBI double down the left field line. Texas Tech came roaring back in the top of the third when senior center fielder Taylor Ashby reached on a leadoff single and then sophomore catcher Kevin Whitehead blasted a two-run home run to right that tied the game at 2-2. Tech wasn’t done in the inning as senior left fielder Michael Reed drove in a run with a double to center and gave the Red Raiders a 3-2 lead. Tech gave the lead back to the Aggies in the fifth when Reed let a ball land right in front of him with two outs in the frame and that jumpstarted a two-run outburst for A&M. Designated hitter Joe Patterson drove in the tying run with a single and then Tech starter Bobby Doran walked Kevin Gonzalez with the bases loaded to give the Aggies a 4-3 advantage. A fielding error by A&M right fielder Adam Smith allowed Tech to tie the game at 4-4 with two outs in the top of the seventh. Smith dropped a deep fly ball at the wall by Jamodrick McGruder that allowed Ashby to score all the way from first.
TEXAS TECH 13, NO. 23 TEXAS A&M 7 COLLEGE STATION, Texas – Texas Tech erupted for six runs in the fifth and five more in the sixth and went on to defeat No. 23 Texas A&M 13-7 and salvaged the third and final game of this series on Sunday afternoon at Olsen Field. Texas Tech snaps its seven-game losing streak as the Red Raiders improve to 9-12 overall grab their first Big 12 win and now stand at 1-2 in league action. Texas A&M falls to 15-3 and to 2-1 in Big 12 play. Texas A&M’s Broadie Greene went back to his old tricks in the bottom of the first when he hit a two-out double to left and Joe Patterson brought him home with a RBI double of his own to left and that gave the Aggies an early 1-0 lead. The run was A&M’s seventh consecutive with two outs. The Red Raiders vented two week’s worth of offensive frustration in the top of the sixth inning as Tech plated six runs in the frame to grab a 6-1 lead. Senior shortstop Joey Kenworthy was responsible for the first run of the day for Tech as he drew a bases loaded walk. Senior left fielder Michael Reed then beat out an infield grounder and that gave Tech its first lead of the afternoon at 2-1 and kept the bases loaded for freshman first baseman Barrett Barnes. Barnes then came up with a huge bases-clearing three RBI triple to center that pushed Tech’s lead to 5-1. Tech wasn’t done yet as LeJeune then brought home Barnes from third with a single to center. Texas Tech kept pouring on the runs in the top of the sixth and this time it was the Red Raiders scoring with two outs. Tech pounded out five runs on four hits including a pair of two RBI doubles by Kenworthy and LeJeune. The outburst gave Tech an 11-2 lead. Texas A&M plated a pair of runs in the bottom of the sixth and had the bases loaded but Tech starter Chad Bettis was able to get out of the jam with a strikeout and a fly ball to center. A two-out, two run fielding error by Tech left fielder Scott LeJeune led to two more A&M runs in the bottom of the seventh as they closed the gap to five runs at 11-6. Taylor Ashby got the two runs back that Tech gave away in the seventh with a two-RBI single in the top of the eighth that pushed the Red Raider lead back to seven runs at 13-6.
Jay Johnson was charged with the loss for Texas Tech after giving up one run on five hits over 2 2/3 innings. Michael Wacha (3-0) picked up the win in relief for Texas A&M as he held the Red Raiders to just one run and didn’t allow a single hit over three innings of work.

TEXAS TECH vs. MISSOURI April 30 - May 2, 2010 - Dan Law Field, Lubbock, Texas Texas Tech won the series 2-1 MISSOURI 12, TEXAS TECH 8 (10 INNINGS) LUBBOCK, Texas – Missouri reliever Jeff Emens pitched himself out of a one-out, bases loaded jam in the bottom of the 10th and the Tigers plated four runs in the top of the 11th to hand Texas Tech a 12-8 loss in the series opener on Friday evening at Dan Law Field. The loss drops Texas Tech to 24-22 overall and to 10-9 in Big 12 play while Missouri improves to 23-17 and 7-8 in league action. With the game tied at 8-8 in the bottom of the 10th, the Red Raiders had the bases loaded with just one out with threehole hitter Barrett Barnes and cleanup guy Michael Reed coming to bat. Barnes, who almost ended the game with a grand slam that went just foul, ended up striking out looking to go down as the second out of the inning. Reed then ended the inning when he popped up foul to first base on the first pitch he was offered from Emens. The Tigers rallied on the momentum of that inning and ended up scoring four runs in the top half of the 11th to seal the win. Missouri stormed out to a 7-0 lead with four runs in the fourth and three more in the third before Tech mounted its comeback. The Red Raiders used a four-run outburst in the fourth and then plated two runs in the sixth and single runs in the eighth and ninth to tie the game. Tech tied the game on a RBI fielder’s choice from Scott LeJeune in the ninth but Jeremy Mayo and Bonham Hough ended the inning with fly ball and a groundout. Junior right-hander Chad Bettis suffered the loss after allowing four runs in the 11th and fell to 6-4 on the year. Missouri reliever Jeff Emens earned the win for the Tigers after holding Tech to just one run on five hits over 3 1/3 innings.
TEXAS TECH 5, MISSOURI 4 LUBBOCK, Texas – Junior right-hander Bobby Doran struckout a career-high 16 batters and held Missouri to just three runs on nine hits over 8 1/3 innings to lead Texas Tech to a 5-4 win over the Tigers on Saturday afternoon at Dan Law Field. The win evens this series at 1-1 heading into tomorrow’s rubber match which is set for noon. The win gives Texas Tech a 25-22 overall record and pushes the Red Raiders back into third place in the Big 12 Conference standings with an 11-9 record. Missouri dropped to 23-18 overall and to 7-9 in the league. Doran recorded his 16th strikeout of the game when he sat down Eric Garica swinging as the leadoff hitter in the top of the ninth. Jonah Schmidt wouldn’t allow Doran to go the distance as he reached on a one-out single and Tech head coach Dan Spencer then went to his bullpen for closer Chad Bettis. Bettis, who had pitched three innings in last night’s 12-8 11-inning loss, walked the first batter he faced before striking out Ryan Ampleman for the second out. Bettis then gave up another walk to Micahel Liberto to load the bases for Ryan Gebhart. Gebhart then made things interesting as he drove in a pair of runs with a single up the middle and all of a sudden the Tigers had the tying run 90 feet away with their best hitter Aaron Senne up to bat. Bettis, however, retired Senne on a groundball to shortstop Joey Kenworthy and that ended the game and gave Bettis his ninth save of the year. Trailing 2-1 in the bottom of the fifth, the Red Raider offense went to work and finally got ahead of Missouri starter Nick Tepesch. Senior center fielder Taylor Ashby, who reached on a fielder’s choice, ended up scoring the tying run on an RBI groundout by Kenworthy. Freshman first baseman Barrett Barnes then delivered a two-run home run to left field that gave the Red Raiders a 4-2 lead that they would not relinquish. Tech added what turned out to be the winning run in the bottom of the seventh on an RBI double by Kenworthy. The RBI was his second of the game and pushed the Red Raider lead to 5-2. With the win, Doran improved to 4-2 on the year and 4-1 in Big 12 Conference play. Nick Tepesch was saddled with the loss for Missouri as he allowed five runs on 10 hits over 6 1/3 innings.
TEXAS TECH 16, MISSOURI 15 LUBBOCK, Texas – Junior Stephen Hagen hit a pinch hit RBI single with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning to lift Texas Tech to 16-15 series-clinching win over Missouri on Sunday afternoon in front of 3,485 fans at Dan Law Field. The win gives Texas Tech (26-22) its fifth consecutive Big 12 series win, which is a first for the program since the 1997 season when Tech won the regular-season championship. Tech now stands at 12-9 in Big 12 play and is just percentage points behind second place Kansas State. The Wildcats (10-7 in Big 12 play) have the advantage in the standings due to the fact they have played one less game in conference play as their series opener last week at Missouri was cancelled due to weather. With Jamodrick McGruder at second and Barrett Barnes at first with two outs in the bottom of the ninth, Tech head coach Dan Spencer was forced to pinch hit for relief pitcher Brett Bruening who entered the game with two outs in the top of the ninth. Spencer elected to go with Hagen and the decision paid off as he laced a fastball up the middle on a full count that allowed McGruder to score the game winning run from second. A combined 31 runs were scored on the afternoon and the Red Raiders pounded out a season-high six home runs, including two, three-run blasts from senior left fielder Michael Reed. Reed led all Tech hitters on the afternoon with six RBIs and was 3-for-6 at the dish with three runs scored. Junior catcher Jeremy Mayo, who hadn’t pitched all season long, got the call to the bump in the top of the eighth with a Missouri runner at first base. Mayo got a ground ball double play and a fly ball to center to get the Red Raiders out of the eighth inning unscathed. In the ninth, Tech held a 15-14 lead and Mayo had retired the first two batters and was down to his last strike on Missouri designated hitter Eric Garcia, when the Tigers mounted a rally. Garcia laced a fastball up the middle on a 2-2 count and Jonah Schmidt followed with an RBI double to tie the game at 15-15. Mayo ended up walking Dane Opel and hitting Andrew Thigpen to load the bases which forced Spencer into another decision. Tech went to its bullpen for junior right-hander Brett Bruening and he did his job by getting Tech out of the jam with a strikeout of Ryan Ampleman. Bruening picked up the win in relief for the Red Raiders and improved to 3-4 while Jeff Emens suffered the loss for Missouri and felt to 3-4.
