LEADING OFF... No. 24 Texas Tech hosts its first Big 12 midweek doubleheader of the season Wednesday evening as the 17th-ranked Baylor Bears head to Lubbock for a 5 p.m. first pitch at Rocky Johnson Field. LIVE STREAMING Texas Tech will stream every home game free of charge this season at RaiderVision All-Access on the school’s official website, www.texastech.com.

ON DECK The Red Raiders will get a few days off before traveling to Ames, Iowa for their first true road contest of the season. Tech faces Iowa State in a two-game series that begins at 2 p.m. Saturday and concludes with an 11 a.m. game Sunday morning. THE SERIES Despite winning four of the last seven meetings in the series, Texas Tech trails Baylor, 26-9, all-time as the Red Raiders are also only 3-12 against the Bears in Lubbock. The two teams split the series last year in Waco.
