THE MATCHUPS

LEADING OFF...

TEXAS TECH

• Texas Tech opens its home slate Friday afternoon, hosting the Texas Tech Invitational at Rocky Johnson Field. The Red Raiders will face Utah Valley and UT Martin in doubleheaders on both Friday and Saturday before closing the tournament Sunday afternoon with a 12:30 p.m. first pitch against UT Arlington. • The Red Raiders head into Friday’s meeting with Utah Valley having won four of their last five home openers at Rocky Johnson Field. Texas Tech’s only loss during that span came a year ago when Sam Houston State handed the Red Raiders a 2-0 shutout. The Bearkats were led at the time by current Tech head coach Adrian Gregory, who was an assistant coach at Sam Houston from 2011-14. • This will be the second time in school history where Texas Tech has opened its home schedule against Utah Valley. The Red Raiders previously began their home slate against the Wolverines in 2011, defeating Utah Valley, 8-3, in the opening game of the Texas Tech Invitational. • Texas Tech will be facing UT Arlington for the second time this season as the Red Raiders previously rallied from a five-run deficit to top the Mavericks, 10-6, on Feb. 20 in Arlington. The victory was Tech’s ninth straight in the series. • The Red Raiders are looking to avenge a disappointing performance last weekend at the Cowgirl Classic hosted by McNeese State. Texas Tech dropped all four games in the tournament, marking its longest losing streak of the season. • The Cowgirl Classic ended a 19-game road trip to start the year for the Red Raiders, their most to open a season since 2009 when Texas Tech played each of its first 22 games away from home. • The Red Raiders enter this weekend with a 12-3 record in the Texas Tech Invitational since 2011. Tech finished 3-1 in the event a year ago.
