• Texas Tech, coming off back-to-back Big 12 Conference series wins, returns to Rocky Johnson Field this weekend, hosting in-state rival Texas in a three-game series that begins at 6 p.m. Friday evening. The two teams will face each other again at 2 p.m. Saturday and then 12 p.m. Sunday. • Saturday’s contest will air live on FOX Sports Net with Dave Barnett and Tracy Warren on the call and Courtney Davis reporting from both dugouts. • The Red Raiders are coming off a three-game sweep over Oklahoma State, Texas Tech’s first series win over the Cowgirls in Stillwater since the 2007 season. It was the third three-game sweep of a Big 12 opponent in school history. • The sweep of Oklahoma State followed a series win the weekend before against then-No. 25 Kansas, marking the first time Texas Tech had defeated a ranked opponent since defeating No. 15 Baylor, 6-4, in the final game of the 2013 season. The Red Raiders had previously dropped each of their past 15 games against top-25 foes prior to the Kansas series opener. • Texas Tech is looking to win three-straight Big 12 weekend series for just the second time since the 1998 season. The Red Raiders previously claimed series wins last year over Oklahoma State, Kansas and Iowa State in consecutive weekends. • The Red Raiders enter the Texas series riding a season-best four game winning streak. Texas Tech also won four-straight games on Feb. 20-21 this year during the UT Arlington Invitational. • Texas Tech will be looking to extend its winning streak to five-straight games on Friday. It would mark the fourth time in school history where the Red Raiders have won five-straight games in Big 12 play. Tech also picked up fivestraight wins over conference foes in 2008 and 2014 and recorded a school-record six game winning streak in 1998. • The Red Raiders are 2-2 so far this season in Big 12 Conference series openers. Texas Tech has struggled in middle games, though, going on 1-3 thus far. • Texas Tech will honor its five seniors - Kristi Belshe, Cara Custer, Derryn Hebert, Lea Hopson and Chandler Moore in a ceremony following Sunday’s series finale. Belshe and Hopson both transferred to Tech prior to the 2014 season while Custer, Hebert and Moore have spent their entire collegiate career as Red Raiders.
