Texas Tech enters the Big 12 Championships with a 33-23 record after going 12-15 in Big 12 play to earn the No. 7 seed. Texas Tech won its final conference series taking two-of-three against No. 22 Oklahoma State in Lubbock. The Red Raiders open the tournament against No. 2 seed Texas A&M (38-18, 19-8). Tech won the series opener, but lost the series against A&M this season in Lubbock. It will be the eighth meeting between Texas Tech and Texas A&M in Big 12 Championship history (Tech trails 3-4).
Texas Tech is making its third consecutive and 12th all-time appearance at the Big 12 Championships with a 14-22 all-time record. The Red Raiders captured the Big 12 Tournament title in 1998, the second year of the league, with a 14-7 win over Texas A&M. Tech also played in the first-ever tournament title game when it lost 17-19 against Oklahoma in 1997. Tech has gone 1-2 the last two seasons in pool play competition. Tech is looking for its first tournament opening win since 2005 (5-3 vs. Nebraska).

2011 TEXAS TECH BASEBALL $5 MILLION RENOVATION TO DAN LAW FIELD
DAN LAW FIELD SET TO UNDERGO $5 MILLION RENOVATION Formal groundbreaking ceremony scheduled for June 24
LUBBOCK, Texas – Texas Tech University officials announced today a $5 million renovation to Dan Law Field that will provide Red Raider Baseball with one of the best on-campus collegiate facilities in the country. Private donations have been raised to completely fund the costs of the facility improvements. “This is a tremendous day for Red Raider Baseball,” said director of athletics Kirby Hocutt. “We are extremely grateful for the support of our private donors, and it is their contributions that will make Dan Law Field one of the top collegiate baseball facilities in the nation.” The most notable structural improvement will be the removal of the current suites and press box. This structure will be replaced entirely and will feature 10 luxury suites each with seating for 12, a new press box complete with radio and television broadcast areas and a new club level with outdoor seating for 75 individuals. “Coach Spencer and his coaching staff are doing great things with our baseball program, and this stadium renovation will provide us with enhanced opportunities to compete for Big 12 Championships and serve as a springboard for what we hope are many future trips to Omaha,” Hocutt said. A new shading structure will cover the area in the center portion of the grandstand and will rise above the new suites and press box. This shading structure will be directly overhead 1,154 individual chair-back seats that will be installed at Dan Law Field for the first time in the history of the stadium. Prior to this renovation, the entire seating area has consisted of aluminum bench seating. “Texas Tech Baseball and its fans will now have a stadium of which it can truly be proud thanks to the generosity of our donors,” remarked Texas Tech University System Chancellor Kent Hance. “Their financial contributions have been tremendous and are also helping as we work toward our $1 billion goal for the capital campaign Vision & Tradition.” “This stadium renovation is something we have been working on for a long time, and we are thrilled to be able to make this announcement,” said Head Coach Dan Spencer. “The administration at Texas Tech has been outstanding through this process and deserves all the credit.” Five additional rows of field seating will be added directly behind home plate and will bring fans closer to the action than ever before. The first row of seating will rise just 30 inches from the playing surface compared to the seven foot wall that is currently in place behind home plate. Additionally, a state-of-the-art tensioned back-stop netting system will be put in place to protect fans from foul balls and will allow unobstructed views of the entire playing field. Fans will enter the stadium through new iron gates that will stand just beyond a circular landscaped seating area with a brick inlaid Double T. This dramatic entrance will lead Red Raider fans past several newly installed grandstand banners that will showcase the history of Texas Tech Baseball. “We are so appreciative to the great friends of this program who have been very generous with their financial support,” Spencer said. “I think Dan Law Field at Texas Tech Baseball Stadium will be one of the best in college baseball, and I am really excited for all our players – past, present and future.” Construction is scheduled to begin following a groundbreaking ceremony to be held June 24 at 10 a.m. The grandstand portion of the structural improvements is scheduled for completion by Feb. 15, 2012. DAN LAW FIELD RENOVATION FACTS & FIGURES • Cost of Renovation: $5 million (private funds) • Architect: MWM Architects, Lubbock, Texas • Contractor: Will be hired upon completion of design • Total Seating Capacity: 4,921 • 10 Luxury Suites (12 seats per suite) • Club Area with outdoor seating for 75 • Restrooms For Club/Suite Patrons • 1,154 chair-back seats • Television broadcast booth, home and visitor radio booths and booth for written press • Shading structure over center of grandstand • Tensioned back-stop netting that will provide unobstructed view of the playing field • Additional five rows of field seating that will be closer to home plate • New elevator for club/suite/press box access • Grandstand banners showcasing the history of Texas Tech Baseball • Circular landscaped seating area with brick inlaid Double T

BIG 12 TEAMS (includes non-conference/postseason) Overall
Dan Spencer is 86-84 overall and 37-44 in Big 12 play in his third season as head coach of the Red Raiders. Named the eighth head coach in Texas Tech history during the summer of 2008, Spencer has wasted no time rebuilding the Tech program. His second season as head coach saw the Red Raiders finish fifth in the Big 12 (best finish since 2004) and defeat seven nationally-ranked opponents, which includes an upset over No. 1 Texas, 4-2, in the Big 12 Tournament. In fact, Spencer and the Red Raiders were the only Big 12 team to defeat Texas twice during the 2010 season, as they also picked up a 12-5 victory in Lubbock. The Red Raiders were also just one of two teams in the Big 12 to win a series against College World Series-bound Oklahoma, taking two out of three against the Sooners at Dan Law Field in Lubbock. Spencer’s squad finished 28-29 overall in 2010, matching the program’s most wins since 2006. The Red Raiders led the conference with 162 doubles (most since 2003 – Baylor) to rank seventh in the country and also led all Big 12 teams with a .310 batting average in conference games. Texas Tech led the Big 12 in batting during league play in 2009 with a .311 average. Spencer’s squad became the first team to lead the conference in batting during Big 12 play in back-to-back seasons since 2003-04 (Baylor). In addition, Texas Tech led the league with 83 doubles during Big 12 games, which is the fourth highest total in Big 12 history and the most since Missouri set the record of 129 in 1997 – the first year of the Big 12 Conference. In only three years (two as head coach), Spencer has coached five Tech student-athletes (four pitchers, one position player) who have been drafted in the top-10 rounds, including four in the top four rounds. Right-handed pitchers Chad Bettis (RHP – 2nd Round – Colorado Rockies) and Bobby Doran (RHP – 4th Round – Houston Astros) were drafted and signed following the 2010 season. Spencer, 45, rejoined the Texas Tech Baseball family 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 that season. Stewart was taken in the third round by the Cincinnati Reds while Leverton was taken in the eighth round by the Chicago Cubs. Prior to his arrival 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 Oregon State 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 consecutive 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 players drafted in the top 10 rounds of the MLB Draft. Eddie Kunz, the ace of the 2007 staff, and catcher Mitch Canham, 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 before 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.

ON THE HORIZON The “Road to Omaha” NCAA Tournament selection special will air live on ESPN on Monday, May 30. TAKING A LOOK BACK Texas Tech completed its regular season taking two of three games against No. 22 Oklahoma State at Dan Law Field. The Red Raiders dropped the series opener 11-10 before winning 11-7 on Saturday and clinching the series with a 5-3 win on Sunday. The final win moved Texas Tech ahead of Missouri in the league standings, securing a seventh-place finish. TEXAS TECH MAKES THIRD CONSECUTIVE TRIP TO BIG 12 CHAMPIONSHIPS Third-year head coach Dan Spencer had directed his squad back to the Phillips 66 Big 12 Championships for the third consecutive season. The last time the Red Raiders made three straight trips to the Big 12 tourney was from 2004-2006. Texas Tech made an appearance at the Big 12 Tournament in its first six years of existence (1997-2002). BREAKING DOWN THE RED RAIDERS AT THE BIG 12 CHAMPIONSHIPS Texas Tech is 14-22 in 11 previous trips to the Big 12 Championships. Tech is 13-18 in tournament games played in Oklahoma City with a 1-4 record when the tourney was played in Arlington, Texas. Tech has played eight league opponents, having only not played against Kansas and former league member Iowa State (dropped baseball following 2001). Tech’s most common opponent in the Big 12 tourney is Oklahoma (3-5) with eight postseason meetings. Former head coach Larry Hays posted a 12-18 record while coaching Tech in nine trips to the tournament. Dan Spencer is 2-4 the past two seasons - his first two as head coach. The Red Raiders have had 13 players receive 15 Big 12 All-Tournament team awards. Only OF Jason Landreth (1997-1998) and Josh Bard (1998 - MVP, 1999) earned honors twice. Last season Tech had two players (1B Barrett Barnes, RHP Chad Bettis) earn all-tournament honors for the first time since Tech won the tournament in 1998 and had five players selected to the all-tournament squad. TEXAS TECH AGAINST THE TOURNAMENT FIELD Texas Tech went 7-14 against the tournament field this season, including 1-8 against teams in its bracket. The Red Raiders dropped two of three against first-round opponent Texas A&M and suffered sweeps at Oklahoma and at Kansas State. RED RAIDERS IN BIG 12 CHAMPIONSHIP OPENING-ROUND GAMES Texas Tech is 5-6 in first-round games while looking for its first opening-round victory since upsetting tournament topseeded Nebraska 5-3 in 2005. Since that win, Tech has lost back-to-back tournament openers. In fact, since upsetting Nebraska in 2005, the Red Raiders have lost nine of its last 11 tournament games. TEXAS TECH AGAINST NATIONALLY-RANKED OPPONENTS AT BIG 12 CHAMPIONSHIP The Big 12 Conference is known nation-wide for its excellence in the sport of baseball. Tracking the Red Raiders path in the league tourney over the years proves it is never an easy matchup while the majority of the opponents in the field from year-to-year are also nationally-ranked. In fact, Texas Tech has played 64 percent of its games in the league tournament against ranked opponents with 23 games in 11 years against nationally-ranked teams. The Red Raiders are 10-13 against ranked teams in Big 12 Championship competition. Two of those wins have come against teams ranked in the top five in the nation, including Tech’s win last season over then-No. 1 Texas (4-2) in a second-round matchup. TEXAS TECH & TEXAS A&M - BIG 12 CHAMPIONSHIP HISTORY The Red Raiders and Aggies have played seven times in championship history with Texas A&M holding a narrow 4-3 lead. This will mark the second straight season that Tech and A&M have met in the first round as last season the Aggies came away with a 9-2 victory. The only other time Tech has played the same opponent in the first round in back-to-back years was against Texas in 1999 and 2000. The Red Raiders were also defeated in their final Big 12 tournament game in 2009 by the Aggies, 11-4. In fact, Texas Tech has lost three straight to Texas A&M in tournament action with the Red Raiders last win over A&M coming in 2000 with an 8-6 win in a second-round contest.

RED RAIDER BASEBALL GAME NOTES ● Phillips 66 Big 12 Championship ● May 25-29, 2011
2011 TEXAS TECH BASEBALL GAME NOTES TEXAS TECH & OKLAHOMA/KANSAS STATE - BIG 12 CHAMPIONSHIP HISTORY The Red Raiders two possible second round matchups are Oklahoma and Kansas State. Tech has played the Sooners more often than any other team with a 3-5 record against Oklahoma. Tech is 1-1 against Kansas State with its most recent meeting coming in 2002 when Tech defeated K-State 5-4 in 12 innings at the Ballpark in Arlington.
TOMLINSON CLIMBING THE CHARTS WITH SOLID PLAY AT SHORTSTOP In his first season at Texas Tech junior shortstop Kelby Tomlinson is climbing in the Red Raider all-time record books with his solid play on the left side of the infield. The following are accomplishments he has already achieved and some that he is approaching. • Ranks fourth all-time in Tech single-season assists history (206). • Needs nine assists to move into third place. • Hasn’t made an error in 22 consecutive games (longest streak this season). • Streak is the longest by a Tech shortstop in the last 10 years. • Longest errorless streak by Tech INF last 5 years: Joey Callender (23 games in 2006) • Has made only one error the past 30 games. • Made only two errors in 27 Big 12 Conference games (44 PO, 90 ASST, .985%).
BARNES HAS MEMORABLE BIG 12 CHAMPIONSHIP DEBUT IN 2010 Sophomore Barrett Barnes made a splash in his Big 12 Championship debut in 2010 as a freshman as he was named the All-Tournament team selection at first base while hitting .400 (4-for-10) with three runs, one double, two home runs and three RBI. Barnes sparked Tech in its 4-2 upset over then-No. 1 in the nation Texas while hitting two home runs and going 2-for-3 with three RBI in the game. He became the first Texas Tech freshman to earn Big 12 All-Tournament team since Brennan Burns (DH) in 1998.
POPESCU PLAYS IN FINAL HOME GAME - RBI STREAK SNAPPED AT SEVEN Lone senior Nick Popescu played in his final home game at Dan Law Field on Sunday, May 22 against Oklahoma State. In that same game, Popescu had his streak of posting at least one RBI in seven consecutive games snapped. It was the longest streak by a Red Raider since 2009 (Chris Richburg, eight straight games with an RBI).
TEXAS TECH ANNOUNCES $5 MILLION RENOVATION TO DAN LAW FIELD Texas Tech announced Friday, May 13, a $5 million renovation to Dan Law Field, one that includes complete removal of the current suites and press box. The structure will be replaced entirely and will feature 10 luxury suites, each with seating for 12, a new press box complete with radio and television broadcast areas and a new club level with outdoor seating for 75. The renovation is also highlighted by a new shading structure that will cover the area in the center portion of the grandstands and will rise above the new suites and press box. This shading structure will be directly over 1,154 individual chairback seats that will be installed at Dan Law Field for the first time in the history of the stadium. Prior to this renovation, the entire seating area at Dan Law Field has consisted of aluminum bench seating.
FIVE RED RAIDERS NAMED TO ACADEMIC ALL-BIG 12 TEAMS Texas Tech had five players named to the Academic All-Big 12 teams as Reid Redman (energy commerce), Zach Fowler (history) and Nick Hanslik (business) were named first team and Barrett Barnes (exercise and sports science) and Brennan Stewart (accounting) were second team selections. In Dan Spencer’s three seasons as head coach Texas Tech has had 21 baseball student-athletes named to the Academic All-Big 12 teams. POPESCU TALLIES 7 ASSISTS AT SECOND BASE - MOST BY A TECH 2B SINCE 2006 In Tech’s series finale at Missouri (5/15) second baseman Nick Popescu recorded seven assists, marking the most by a Red Raider second baseman since March 6, 2006 when 2B Jason Seefeld also made seven assists at UNLV.
SPENCER RANKS AMONG THE TOP TECH COACHES IN 3RD SEASON AT THE HELM Dan Spencer has accomplished many feats in his first three seasons as head coach at Texas Tech. He enters the postseason with an 86-84 overall record, which places him with the second most wins by a Texas Tech head coach during his first three seasons. Below is a look at Texas Tech head coaches’ records through three seasons as the head coach. • Larry Hays (1987-89) - 87-75 • Dan Spencer (2009-Present) - 86-84 • GaryAshby (1984-86) - 85-80 • Berl Huffman (1961-63) - 40-26 • Kal Segrist (1968-70) - 34-49 • Beattie Feathers (1954-56) - 12-31
BARRETT BARNES TAKING THE “FREE WAY” After hitting his 10th home run in the first inning against No. 22 Oklahoma State on Saturday, May 21, the Cowboys wanted no part of the standout centerfielder. His following three plate appearances OSU wasted no time issuing a four-pitch intentional walk. It was the first time a Red Raider had received three intentional walks in the same game since Roger Kieschnick was walked intentionally three times against Texas A&M-Corpus Christi on April 1, 2008, at Dan Law Field in a 6-1 Red Raider victory.
TECH PLAYS 18 GAMES VS. RANKED OPPONENTS DURING REGULAR SEASON Texas Tech finished the regular season playing 18 games against six nationally-ranked opponents. That figure ranked first in the Big 12 Conference. Kansas was second playing 17 games against ranked foes. This is nothing new for the Red Raiders who played 18 games (6 opponents) last season against ranked teams and 25 games (10 opponents) in 2009 against ranked opponents.
SO ABOUT THESE NEW BATS... The change of bats this season has been needless to say, an adjustment. Texas Tech has hit multiple home runs in a game three times this season. Last year, the Red Raiders pounded out multiple homers in 18 games. And of Tech’s three multiple HR games, all of them have been two-homer games. Last season the Red Raiders hit six home runs in a game against Missouri (5/2/10).
TEXAS TECH AGAINST THE TOP 25 AND TOP 10 (SINCE 2001) Since 2001, Texas Tech is 69-122 against nationally-ranked top 25 opponents and 20-61 over that period against teams that are ranked in the top 10. This season Texas Tech is 6-12 against ranked opponents and 2-11 against teams in the top 10. Tech won seven games last season against nationally-ranked competition (went 2-7 against the top 10), including a 4-2 win over then-No. 1 Texas at the Big 12 Championships in Oklahoma City.
AND MORE ON THE BATS... Entering the final weekend, the Big 12 Conference leader in home runs is Oklahoma with 38. Last season Kansas State hit the FEWEST home runs with 39. LEFT FIELD HAS MANY OPTIONS FOR THE RED RAIDERS Texas Tech has had a lot of different looks in left field this season, in fact there have been nine different players who have made starts in left field for Tech this season. That is the most different players starting at a certain position for the Red Raiders since 2009 when nine players also made starts in right field. This season the following players have started in left field for Tech: Jamodrick McGruder (14 starts), Nick Popescu (11), Nick Hanslik (7), Mason Randolph (6), Andre Wheeler (6), David Paiz (5), Bo Altobelli (2), Jordan Lopez (1) and Scott LeJeune (1).
TEXAS TECH AGAINST THE TOP 25 AND TOP 10 AT DAN LAW FIELD (SINCE 2001) The Red Raiders boast a 38-39 record against top-25 opponents at Dan Law Field since 2001 with a 9-15 record against the top 10 at their home venue during that period of time. This season Texas Tech is 3-6 against ranked opponents and 1-5 against teams in the top 10 at Dan Law Field. In 2010, Tech went 5-4 against the top 25 at home while going 1-2 against No. 8 Texas at Dan Law Field. Texas was the only top-10 team to play at Dan Law Field in 2010.
NEELY CAUSING A POWER OUTAGE RHP John Neely has pitched in 57.2 IP this season without allowing a home run. It marks the most innings pitched by any Texas Tech pitcher of the past 10 years without allowing a long ball. In fact, dating back to last season, Neely has now gone 62.1 IP without allowing a homer.
ALTOBELLI HITS GRAND SLAM FOR FIRST CAREER HOME RUN Bo Altobelli picked a good time for heroics and for his first career home run while hitting a grand slam in the second inning against Oklahoma State on Saturday, May 22. The Red Raiders ended up winning the game 5-3. It marked the first time a Red Raider collected his first career home run while hitting a grand slam since Garrett Totten (Fr.) went 2-for-4 with a grand slam and five RBI at No. 9 Baylor on March 22, 2009.
TEXAS TECH RANKS #23 IN THE NATION IN TOTAL ATTENDANCE Following the 13th week of the regular season, Texas Tech ranks 23rd in the nation in total home attendance (82,926) and 25th in the nation in average home attendance (2,764). Ten times this season over 3,000 fans have been in attendance at Dan Law Field. Tech had at least 3,000 fans in attendance for every game of the TCU series, (4,173 fans entering the gates for series opener on March 4) and also in the series against Texas A&M. Texas Tech has ranked among the top 26 in the nation in average attendance per game every season since 1996.
CORWIN FINISHES BIG 12 SEASON WITH BEST ERA BY A RED RAIDER SINCE 1996 Texas Tech reliever Aaron Corwin has been impressive out of the bullpen this season, particularly during conference action. In Big 12 play Corwin posted a 1.12 ERA in 11 appearances and 16.0 innings pitched, marking the best ERA by a Tech pitcher (min. 15 IP) since the Big 12 Conference was formed in 1997. His 1.12 ERA is the best by a Texas Tech pitcher in league action since Zack Stewart posted a 1.06 ERA during the 1996 Southwest Conference season.
LOOKING “FRESH” ON THE WEEKEND Texas Tech head coach Dan Spencer started three freshmen in the Red Raiders series sweep over Kansas (May 1-3), marking the first time in over 10 seasons that Tech had started three freshmen in a Big 12 weekend series. David Paiz pitched the opener of the series before Trey Masek and Duke von Schamann finished out the three-game set. That same trio of freshmen made starts in Missouri and at home against Oklahoma State.
MASEK/von SCHAMANN FIRST TECH FRESHMEN WITH 5 WINS EACH SINCE 1988 Freshmen Trey Masek (5-3) and Duke von Schamann (5-0) are the first Texas Tech freshmen since 1988 to each have four wins during their freshman seasons. The last time two Tech freshmen each had at least four wins in the same season was in 1988 when Rodney Steph (6-4) and Kevin Kirk (5-4) each accomplished the feat.

SPEAKING OF 30 WINS... Texas Tech became the fifth Big 12 team this season to win 30 games, joining Texas, Texas A&M, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State. All four teams that reached 30 wins before Texas Tech are nationally ranked.
JOHN NEELY NAMED TO NATIONAL PITCHER OF THE YEAR AWARD WATCH LIST Junior right-handed pitcher John Neely was named to the National Pitcher of the Year Award Watch List, which honors the top pitcher in the nation. Neely is one of 25 pitchers in the nation named to the list and is one of only five pitchers in the nation to be named to both the Midseason Stopper of the Year Watch List and the National Pitcher of the Year list. Neely is the first Red Raider to be named to the watch list.
RED RAIDERS WINNING ON THE ROAD - MOST ROAD WINS SINCE 2001 Texas Tech won its 10th road game of the season at Missouri on Saturday, May 14, giving the program its most road wins since winning 11 in 2001.

Paiz becomes the first Red Raider to be named to the Olerud Two-Way Player of the Year List.
RED RAIDERS’ 11 MIDWEEK WINS ARE TIED FOR THE MOST IN BIG 12 Texas Tech won 11 midweek games this year, a total that is tied with Texas for the most in the Big 12 Conference this season.

TECH SETS SCHOOL RECORD WITH EIGHT STRAIGHT MIDWEEK ROAD/NEUTRAL WINS Tech’s success in the midweek includes setting a school record winning eight consecutive midweek games on the road or at a neutral site. Tech started its streak with a 7-6 win over Dallas Baptist in Dallas (March 22). Tech then swept UTSA (8-2, 11-6) in San Angelo on a neutral field before sweeping New Mexico in a two-game midweek series in Albuquerque (4-1, 7-6). Tech added to its streak knocking of Texas State 8-5 in San Marcos on April 18 before sweeping the Michigan Wolverines (8-2, 6-4) in Ann Arbor on May 10-11. The previous school record for consecutive midweek road/neutral site wins was four in 1996.
TEXAS TECH IS ONLY PROGRAM WITH PLAYERS ON FIVE NATIONAL WATCH LISTS Texas Tech is the only team in the nation with players on five national watch lists, as John Neely (Pitcher of the Year/Stopper of the Year), Kelby Tomlinson (Top Shortstop), David Paiz (Top Two-Way Player) and Bo Altobelli (Top Catcher) have combined been named to five national award watch lists. MIDWEEK ROAD SERIES TO MICHIGAN MARKS THE FIRST FOR TECH SINCE 1967 Texas Tech made its first road trip during the month of May to play a midweek series in 44 years when it traveled to Ann Arbor to play the Michigan Wolverines, May 10-11. The last time Texas Tech played a road midweek series in the month of May was a doubleheader at Eastern New Mexico on May 9, 1967. The Red Raiders came away with a 5-3 and 4-3 win in the midweek road series. In fact, Texas Tech became the first Big 12 program ever to play at Michigan for a non-conference game. The last Big 12 team that played at Michigan was Nebraska in the 1980 NCAA Regionals.
TECH SETS RECORD WITH 3RD MIDWEEK ROAD/NEUTRAL SITE SERIES SWEEP Texas Tech claimed its third midweek series sweep on the road or at a neutral site this season which sets a new school record. Several times Tech had won two in the same season, but had never won three in the same year. The Red Raiders swept UTSA in a midweek doubleheader at San Angelo (4/5), won both games against New Mexico in Albuquerque (4/12-13) and swept a two-game midweek series at Michigan (5/10-11).
SPEAKING OF GAMES AGAINST BIG TEN OPPONENTS... Texas Tech has won nine straight games against teams from the Big Ten Conference dating back to 2007. In fact, Northwestern is the only team from the Big Ten to have defeated the Red Raiders, with wins in 1998 and in 2007. Tech is undefeated against Illinois (1-0), Iowa (2-0), Michigan (4-0) and Ohio State (1-0).
RED RAIDERS WINNING IN THE MIDWEEK Texas Tech went 11-3 in midweek games this season. That win total marks the program’s most victories during the midweek since going 11-6 during the 2008 campaign. RED RAIDERS WINNING IN NON-CONFERENCE PLAY Texas Tech will finish the regular season with a 21-8 record in non-conference action. That is the best record for the Red Raiders away from Big 12 play since winning 22 nonconference games in 2006.
HOLDING OPPONENTS BELOW FOUR RUNS IN AN INNING... Texas Tech had its streak of 14 consecutive games without allowing a “big inning” snapped on Tuesday, May 3, against Dallas Baptist when the Patriots scored five runs in the sixth inning. Tech hadn’t allowed a team a big inning (4-plus runs) since April 10 against No. 5 Texas A&M. That span of 14 games went from April 12-May 1.
RED RAIDERS HAVE MOST BUNT BASE HITS SINCE 2004 Texas Tech has found a new element to its offense this season with 24 bunt base hits from seven different players. It is the most bunt base hits for Texas Tech since the 2004 season. Currently, Reid Redman has eight bunt base hits each, which marks the most by a Red Raider since current Oakland A’s right-handed pitcher Dallas Braden was a two-way standout at Tech and had nine during the 2004 season. TEXAS TECH BUNT BASE HITS - YEAR-BY-YEAR (SINCE 2004): • 2011: 24 • 2010: 12 • 2009: 17 • 2008: 10 • 2007: 5 • 2006: 13 • 2005: 11 • 2004: 30
BREAK OUT THE BROOMS! Texas Tech swept Kansas to record its first sweep in Big 12 Conference action since May 12-14, 2006 against Missouri in Lubbock. The sweep also marked Tech’s first over Kansas since 2004 (in Lawrence) and its first over the Jayhawks in Lubbock since 2001. WINNING BIG 12 SERIES UNDER DAN SPENCER Texas Tech’s series win over Oklahoma State gave the Red Raiders 13 in Big 12 Conference action in three seasons under Dan Spencer. Texas Tech coaching legend Larry Hays won his 13th league series in his sixth season as head coach at Tech. TECH POSTS FIRST WINNING REGULAR SEASON SINCE 2007 With its 28th win of the season on Sunday, May 1, Texas Tech is assured of its first winning regular seasons since 2007 (28-27). The Red Raiders have three midweek games and six Big 12 Conference games remaining to help improve its overall record. Texas Tech will next look to record 30 wins in a season for the first time since 2006 (31-26-1).
BIG TEN DOMINANCE Texas Tech swept the Big Ten Conference this season with a pair of wins over Northwestern, Iowa and Michigan. Dating back to 2007, Texas Tech has nine straight wins over Big Ten opponents. Dan Spencer is now 8-0 against the Big Ten in three seasons at Tech.
HAGEN NAMED BIG 12 PLAYER OF THE WEEK FOR SECOND TIME THIS SEASON Stephen Hagen was named the Big 12 Player of the Week on Monday, May 2, for the second time this season. Hagen hit .353 (6-for-17) with two homers - including a grand slam - with six RBI, four walks and struck out only one time in five games for the week. Hagen is the first Tech player since 2008 (Roger Kieschnick) to earn Big 12 POW twice in a season. He joins Oklahoma’s Garrett Buechele as the only Big 12 Players to receive the honor twice this season. Hagen and Jamodrick McGruder have combined for three Big 12 POW selections this season, which is more than any other Big 12 team. Texas Tech has now had 25 Big 12 Baseball Player of the Week selections since the conference formed in 1997 by a total of 16 different players.
von SCHAMANN BECOMES FIRST TECH FRESHMAN TO START CAREER 4-0 Texas Tech redshirt freshman Duke von Schamann has tallied a 4-0 record during his freshman season to become the first Tech freshman over the last 10 years to start their career as a Red Raider with a 4-0 record. Three of von Schamann’s wins have come as a starter with one win coming in a three-inning relief outing. BURNING UP THE BASE PATHS Texas Tech has 91 stolen bases this season in 114 tries, which marks the most stolen bases since posting 139 in 2005. Currently four Red Raiders have at least 10 stolen bases, which is also a first in the Tech program since the 2005 season (six players with at least 10). In fact, Tech also has two players with at least 20 stolen bases (McGruder/Tomlinson), which is once again a first since it happened last in 2005.
ON THE COMEBACK TRAIL Texas Tech notched its 13th come-from-behind victory in the Oklahoma State middle game of the series. Under third-season head coach Dan Spencer, Texas Tech has 43 comefrom-behind victories.

Texas Tech hadn’t allowed a home run in eight games (April 13-23) before New Mexico leadoff hitter Kyle Stiner led off Wednesday, April 28th, game with a solo shot over the right-field wall. It marked the first time in over 10 years that Texas Tech hadn’t allowed a HR in eight consecutive games. BO ALTOBELLI NAMED TO JOHNNY BENCH AWARD WATCH LIST Sophomore catcher Bo Altobelli has been named to the Johnny Bench Award Watch List, the Greater Wichita Area Sports Commission announced Thursday, April 15. Altobelli is one of just seven sophomore catchers in the nation who have been named to the prestigious award watch list. Altobelli is one of four Big 12 catchers who made the list. The Bench Award is given annually to the nation’s top collegiate catcher. NEELY CLIMBING HIS WAY TO THE TOP John Neely has nine wins in relief with a 9-1 record. Only one Tech pitcher the last decade has finished the season with more wins in relief than Neely currently has. Steve Rowe posted 10 wins with a 1.51 ERA and eight saves in 26 appearances in 2002.
McGRUDER ON THE DOOR STEP FOR TEXAS TECH CAREER STOLEN BASE LIST Jamodrick McGruder has already posted 51 stolen bases in 100 career games played, that total places him just three stolen bases away from breaking into the Texas Tech career top 10 in stolen bases. He grabbed 23 stolen bases as a freshman and already this season has 28. If McGruder finished the season with at least 30 stolen bases he will become the first Tech player since 2004 (Josh Brady - 34) with 30 in a season. The last time a Tech player had at least 40 stolen bases in a season was in 1996 (Matt Kastelic - 51).
JAMODRICK McGRUDER TAKING SEVERAL FOR THE TEAM Jamodrick McGruder’s on-base percentage speaks for itself, .470, but how he reaches base is even more impressive. McGruder has 51 base hits, 35 walks and 25 hit-by-pitch, which ranks third in the nation. McGruder already ranks second in Tech single-season history for hit-by-pitch in a season, only trailing Nick Blankenship who reached base via HBP 28 times in 2002.

ALUMINUM BAT RESTRICTIONS PUT IN PLACE FOR 2011 COLLEGIATE SEASON In an effort to make NCAA collegiate bats more like wooden bats, the aluminum bat restrictions for 2011 are supposed to bring offensive numbers back down to earth after many offensive years of final scores resembling those on football scoreboards. Throughout the 2011 season we will compare statistics from this season to the previous five seasons to see what differences the newest bats bring to the game. Stats below are based on average per game.

CLOCK WATCHERS Not only have the bats changed in the NCAA this season, so has the time between innings. In an effort to address the pace of play in college baseball, the NCAA has implemented a 90-second limit between innings. There is a 108-second limit between innings for games that are televised. Below is a look at the past five seasons and how long the average game lasted, along with the number of games that lasted over three hours, over two hours and 30 minutes and games that were under two hours and 30 minutes.

He became the first Tech player since 2006 (Joey Callendar) to reach safely in 35 straight games and his streak of 39 consecutive reaching safely is the longest for a Red Raider since Cameron Blair reached safely in 53 consecutive games from 2004-2005.

COMEBACK KIDS Texas Tech used a comeback to either tie or win the game in three consecutive games. Tech overcame a 5-0 deficit against Dallas Baptist (3/22) by scoring five runs in the seventh and then two in the top of the ninth to win the game. In the final game of the Baylor series, Texas Tech scored seven runs in the final four innings - including four in the 10th - to wrap up the series victory. Tech’ largest comeback was scoring nine runs in the ninth inning to erase a 13-4 deficit to tie the game at 13-13. Not included in that number is when Tech broke a 5-5 tie in the top of the ninth inning against Baylor and held on to win in the bottom of the ninth on a diving catch in center field by Barrett Barnes with the bases loaded. SPEAKING OF COMEBACKS... Texas Tech now has three come-from-behind wins when trailing after eight innings this season to mark the most by the Red Raiders in a season in over 10 years.

2011 TEXAS TECH BASEBALL GAME NOTES NOW THAT’S A TEAM EFFORT Texas Tech used a total of 21 players in its 10-6 victory in 10 innings over Baylor on Sunday, March 20. It was the most players used by Tech in a game this season as every position player on the weekend roster entered the game and all but three pitchers who were available to pitch made appearances.
SEVEN TECH PLAYERS MAKE BROOKS WALLACE CLASSIC ALL-TOURNAMENT TEAM Seven Tech players, including Jamodrick McGruder - the Most Outstanding Player at the classic, were named to the Brooks Wallace Memorial Classic All-Tournament team following completion of the four-day classic. Bo Altobelli (catcher), Kelby Tomlinson (shortstop), Jamodrick McGruder (outfield), Barrett Barnes (outfield), Reid Redman (utility), Robbie Kilcrease (starting pitcher) and Daniel Coulombe (starting pitcher) all earned recognition.
HOLUB’S ACROBATIC PLAY RANKS NO. 1 ON ESPN SPORTCENTER’S TOP 10 PLAYS Right-handed reliever Hayden Holub’s wild pitch against Texas A&M-Corpus Christi on Tuesday, March 15, in the fifth inning almost led to a run, but instead landed Holub on ESPN SportCenter’s Top 10 plays as the No. 1 highlight of the day. The wild pitch sent catcher Kevin Whitehead to the backstop, who then threw to a sliding Holub who caught the ball on his left-hand side and acrobatically tagged the runner out behind his back at home plate. The play was then up for the “Best of the Best” plays on ESPN’s website where Holub’s play received 6,627 total votes. His play didn’t win in the voting as Wayne Rooney of Manchester United (soccer) received 10,813 votes for his spectacular bicycle kick.
McGRUDER IS ROUNDING SECOND AND HEADING FOR THIRD Jamodrick McGruder is fast, and earlier this season he showed how fast while picking up three triples in the two final games of the Brooks Wallace Memorial Classic. When hitting his first triple on Sunday, he became the first Tech player since Willie Rueda in 2008 to hit triples in consecutive games. Then, in his third plate appearance on Sunday, McGruder tripled again marking the first time since last season (when he accomplished it) a Tech player notched two triples in one game. McGruder hit a pair of triples at TCU on March 12 during his freshman season. McGruder is the only Texas Tech player to hit two triples twice in his career in over 10 years. In fact, he is the only Tech player since 2001 (Jason Rainey - school record three triples) to hit two triples in a game.
A NOBLE DEBUT Texas Tech freshman Duke von Schamann made his first appearance on the mound in fashion as he became the first Texas Tech freshman to win a collegiate debut as a starter since Chad Bettis defeated Army (16-2) on February 24, 2008. von Schamann, who made a predetermined start, tossed three shutout innings without allowing a walk while scattering three hits with one strikeout and throwing just 38 pitches.
COULOMBE DIALS UP 9 K’S IN 2ND START - MOST BY A RED RAIDER THIS SEASON Daniel Coulombe was named to the Brooks Wallace Memorial Classic All-Tournament team after striking out nine batters in just five innings of work against BYU (2/25). Coulombe did take the loss in his second start of the season, but it had nothing to do with his ability to miss the barrel as he struck out two in the first, two in the second, one in the third, two in the fourth and two in the fifth. In addition, seven of his nine strikeouts were swinging. His nine strikeouts are the most by a Texas Tech pitcher this season and the most by a Red Raider since Chad Bettis struck out 10 against then-No. 1 Texas at the Big 12 Championships last season in Oklahoma City.
FIRST COME-FROM-BEHIND WIN WHEN TRAILING AFTER EIGHT INNINGS SINCE... Texas Tech trailed Texas A&M-Corpus Christi 5-4 after eight innings on Saturday, March 13, before scoring two runs in the ninth inning to mark Tech’s first come-from-behind win when trailing after eight innings since April 11, 2010. On that day, Tech trailed 3-2 at Oklahoma State before Scott LeJeune hit a two-out, three-run homer in the top of the ninth to help give Tech a 5-3 win in Stillwater.
FLORA MAKES BACK-TO-BACK STARTS FOR THE RED RAIDERS Ben Flora became the first Tech pitcher to start in back-to-back games since 2007 when he made his season debut on Sunday, Feb. 20, against Northwestern and then started against BYU on Thursday, Feb. 24. Flora only threw 54 pitches against Northwestern. The last Red Raider to start in back-to-back games was A.J. Ramos, but in a different circumstance. Ramos got the nod in the series opener against Kansas State (in Manhattan), and after throwing the first inning, the game was postponed until the following day due to heavy rain. After the completed game one of the series, Ramos took the hill to start game two on Saturday afternoon. Ramos’ back-to-back games were on March 30-31, 2007.
MAKE THAT TWO COME-FROM-BEHIND WINS WHEN TRAILING AFTER 8 INNINGS Texas Tech did it again in the series finale against No. 14 Baylor in Waco as the Red Raiders trailed 6-3 after six, 6-4 after seven and 6-5 after eight innings. Tech then plated the tying run in the ninth on Andre Wheeler’s single to left field and then scored four runs in the 10th to secure the win. TEXAS TECH TO PLAY ON ESPNU & FSN THIS SEASON Texas Tech will have two of its games televised to a national audience as ESPNU has picked up the Texas Tech vs. Oklahoma game on Saturday, April 2, in Norman, Okla., with a 7 p.m. first-pitch. Texas Tech will play in the first Big 12 Game of the Week when traveling to Manhattan against Kansas State on Saturday, April 23, at Tointon Family Stadium with a 1 p.m. first pitch against the Wildcats. Tech’s game against the Sooners is the first for the Red Raiders on the ESPN Family of Networks since 2005, when ESPNU carried all three games of the Tech/OU series in Norman.
SCORING EARLY AND OFTEN Texas Tech scored six runs in the first inning in back-to-back games against Northern Illinois, marking the first time in over 10 years to accomplish the feat. The last time Texas Tech scored at least five runs in the first inning in back-to-back games was against San Francisco on February 14-15, 2003, when the Red Raiders plated five runs in the first inning in back-to-back games at Dan Law Field.
18-GAME HOMESTAND TO OPEN THE SEASON IS A SCHOOL RECORD Texas Tech opened the season playing 18 consecutive home games - which is the longest homestand to open a season in school history. Tech finished 12-6 on the homestand. It matches the longest homestand in school history, which was first done in 1988 (Feb. 19-March 16), as the 1988 squad went 16-2 with a 15-game win streak to open the stand. On the other side, Tech has had some notable road swings to begin a campaign which includes playing 16 in a row to open the 1972 season (9-7) and playing 25 of its first 28 games on the road to begin the 1976 season (14-11).
TCU IS FIRST NON-CONF TOP 10 TEAM TO PLAY AT DAN LAW FIELD SINCE 2006 Texas Tech hosted No. 8 TCU for a three-game series at Dan Law Field. It marked the first time a top-10 ranked non-conference opponent had traveled to Lubbock since No. 10 Arizona State. Tech defeated the Sun Devils 7-2 on Monday, April 17, 2006. TCU and Arizona State are the only top-10 non-conference opponents to play at Dan Law Field in over 10 years. TECH SUFFERS FIRST SHUTOUT IN 87 CONSECUTIVE GAMES The No. 8 TCU Horned Frogs handed Texas Tech a 7-0 loss in the first game of their threegame series on March 4, at Dan Law Field. It had been 87 games since Tech was shutout, happening last when No. 11 Oklahoma knocked off Tech 4-0 on April 11, 2009 in Norman. It marked only the fourth time in Dan Spencer’s three-year tenure as head coach of the Red Raiders that they had not scored in a game. It also marked the first time Tech was shutout at home since March 28, 2008, a streak of 81 consecutive home games. Tech was shutout 1-0 against No. 2 Missouri on Dan Law Field.
MOST FANS AT DAN LAW FIELD SINCE 2006 The first game of Tech’s series with No. 8 TCU saw 4,173 fans enter the gates at Dan Law Field.

Total, 10,351 fans entered the gates, averaging 3,450 fans per game. It was only the second time during the last four years with at least 3,000 fans at each game in a three-game home series. The last time it happened was in 2010 when 11,584 fans attended the series with No. 8 Texas with an average of 3,861 fans attending per game.
TEXAS TECH LANDS NINE ON RED RAIDER CLASSIC ALL-TOURNAMENT TEAM Texas Tech won the Red Raider Classic with a perfect 4-0 record, and through the competition saw plenty of impressive performances.

During his streak Barnes batted .340 (18-for-53) with 15 runs, five doubles, four home runs, 11 RBI and 13 walks.

COULOMBE BECOMES FIRST TECH NEWCOMER TO START ON OPENING DAY SINCE 2006 Junior lefty Daniel Coulombe became the first Texas Tech newcomer to get the nod on Opening Day since 2006. Coulombe received a no-decision after pitching four-shutout innings allowing just one hit and two walks with five strikeouts. Five years ago Texas Tech defeated Louisiana-Monroe, 21-5, behind starting pitcher Josh Tomlin, who pitched his only season at Texas Tech in 2006. Tomlin’s outing was a success as he tossed 6.0 innings allowing one run (earned) on three hits with one strikeout and one walk. In addition, Tomlin made his major league debut this past year with the Cleveland Indians on July 27 against the New York Yankees.
OPENING DAY ATTENDANCE AT DAN LAW FIELD - MOST SINCE 2003 The paid attendance for Opening Day between Texas Tech and Western Michigan was 2,398, which marked the largest Opening Day crowd for Texas Tech at home since Jan. 31, 2003, when Texas Tech defeated New Mexico (4-2) in front of 3,018 fans at Dan Law Field. DAN SPENCER WINS THIRD STRAIGHT ON OPENING DAY Dan Spencer became only the third head coach in Texas Tech history to win three straight Opening Day contests. He joins former Red Raider skippers Kal Segrist (1968-70) and Gary Ashby (1984-86), who also won their first three season openers. In addition, Segrist holds the all-time school record winning five consecutive Opening Day games to begin his head coaching tenure (1968-1972).
RED RAIDERS ON THE FALL ACADEMIC HONOR ROLL The Texas Tech baseball program produced 18 student-athletes who received academic honor roll status following the fall semester. Ten Tech players earned Dean’s List status (3.50-4.00 GPA) while three Red Raiders recorded perfect 4.0 GPAs.
SPENCER IS FIRST TECH SKIPPER TO START 4-0 THREE STRAIGHT SEASONS Dan Spencer became the first Texas Tech head coach in the history of the program to start 4-0 during his first three seasons as head coach. Spencer’s best start as a head coach came last year when Tech began the season 5-0 with wins over Jacksonville State (2), Michigan (2) and Bethune-Cookman.
STRENGTH OF SCHEDULE Boyd’s World ranks Texas Tech 26th overall in strength of schedule and with the 50th most difficult non-conference schedule. Only Oklahoma State (No. 18) and Baylor (No. 23) have a more difficult schedule according to the website.
SPEAKING OF TEXAS TECH STARTING 4-0 The Texas Tech baseball team has started the season 4-0 for the third consecutive year. The only other time in the history of the Red Raider baseball program that Tech has started 4-0 in three consecutive years was from 1991-1993 under legendary coach Larry Hays. This season marks the 11th time in the last 25 years that the Red Raiders have started 4-0 (2011, 2010, 2009, 2005, 2002, 1999, 1996, 1993, 1992, 1991, 1986).
NEW OPPONENTS Texas Tech will be taking on three opponents this season for the first time. Iowa, Western Michigan and Utah Valley will all face the Red Raiders for the first time in program history. Last season, Tech faced four first-time opponents, including Michigan, BethuneCookman, Jacksonville State and Alabama A&M. The Red Raiders went 8-0 against their first-time opponents last season, with a 2-0 record against each team.
OPENING DAY SUCCESS FOR TECH FRESHMEN Texas Tech freshman David Paiz continued the trend of Red Raider freshmen succeeding on Opening Day after he went 3-for-4 with a double and two RBI. Last season, Barrett Barnes had a memorable collegiate debut going 3-for-4 with three runs, two homers (2-run, 3-run), six RBI and two stolen bases against Jacksonville State (2/19/10). Barnes became the first Tech freshmen to hit two homers and also have three base hits on Opening Day in over 10 years. It was the best performance for a Tech freshman on Opening Day since Roger Kieschnick went 2-for-4 with three runs, a grand slam and six RBI in his collegiate debut against Louisiana-Monroe on Feb. 3, 2006.
TEXAS TECH IN THE PRESEASON POLLS Texas Tech has been ranked anywhere from seventh-to-ninth in preseason Big 12 Conference polls by Baseball America, Perfect Game USA, College Baseball Daily, College Baseball Today and by the league’s head coaches. The Red Raiders are preseason No. 7 in the league’s coaches’ poll, which is their highest ranking since being tabbed 6th in 2007. Here is a look at previous seasons and where Tech was predicted to finish in the coaches’ poll compared to where they finished at the end of the season in the league standings. Year Predicted Finished 2011________________________________________ 7th_____________ ??? 2010________________________________________ 10th____________ 5th 2009________________________________________ 8th_____________ 7th 2008________________________________________ 10th___________ 10th 2007________________________________________ 6th____________ 10th 2006________________________________________T-8th____________ 8th 2005________________________________________ 6th_____________ 8th 2004________________________________________ 7th_____________ 3rd 2003________________________________________T-4th____________ 9th 2002________________________________________ 5th_____________ 3rd 2001________________________________________ 7th_____________2nd 2000________________________________________ 3rd_____________ 5th 1999_________________________________________1st_____________ 3rd
BARNES’ OPENING DAY SUCCESS CONTINUES Barrett Barnes had a memorable freshman Opening Day (3-for-4, 2 HR, 6 RBI) and he continued that trend as a sophomore belting a two-run homer in his first at-bat of the season against Western Michigan. Barnes is now 5-for-7 with four runs, three home runs and eight RBI in two career Opening Day games. COMING OUT RUNNIN’ The past three seasons, Texas Tech has hit the ground running with eye-popping stolen base numbers on Opening Day. This season was no exception with four stolen bases (Popescu 2, Tomlinson, Redman). Last season Tech grabbed five stolen bases against Jacksonville State while in 2009 the Red Raiders stole six bases against Southern Utah. TECH TOSSES FIRST TWO-HITTER SINCE 2006 Three Texas Tech pitchers combined for a two-hitter on Opening Day against Western Michigan in the 8-0 shutout. Starter Daniel Coulombe (4.0 IP, 1 H, 5 SO, 2 BB) and relievers John Neely (4.0 IP, 1 H, 4 SO, 0 BB) and Brennan Stewart (1.0 IP, 0 H, 1 SO, 0 BB) combined on the effort. It was the first two-hitter for Tech since Feb. 20, 2006, when Dustin Richardson, Jason Seefeld and Brian Cloud took a no-hitter into the ninth inning and eventually settled for a two-hitter against Eastern New Mexico in a 16-0 victory.
OPPONENTS IN THE POLLS Six of Texas Tech’s opponents received preseason national rankings as TCU, Oklahoma, Texas, Texas A&M, Kansas State and Baylor all appeared in at least one of the following polls: Collegiate Baseball (CB), National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association, Baseball America and USA Today/ESPN Coaches (ESPN).

RED RAIDER BASEBALL GAME NOTES ● Phillips 66 Big 12 Championship ● May 25-29, 2011
2011 TEXAS TECH BASEBALL GAME NOTES TEXAS TECH SIGNS EIGHT DURING EARLY SIGNING PERIOD Texas Tech announced its early signing class in November, a class that includes three pitchers and three infielders that will join the Red Raiders for the fall. Five of Tech’s signees are high school standouts while only one will head to Lubbock from a junior college. - Blake Bass - INF - R/R - Lubbock, Texas/Coronado - Ryan Bielitz - LHP - L/L - The Woodlands, Texas/The Woodlands - Bryant Burleson - INF/RHP - R/R - Midland, Texas/Midland Christian - Trey Ford - INF- R/R - Scottsdale, Ariz./Chaparral/South Mountain CC - David Gates - RHP - R/R - Lubbock, Texas/Monterey - Jayden O’Dell - RHP - R/R - Tuscola, Texas/Jim Ned
MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL DRAFT SUCCESS Texas Tech, who finished the 2010 Major League Baseball season with six former players on big league rosters, had five players drafted in the 2010 MLB Draft. Chad Bettis became the fourth highest drafted Red Raider when the Colorado Rockies selected the three-year Tech lettermen in the second round (No. 76 overall). One-year Tech standout Bobby Doran was drafted in the fourth round by the Houston Astros (No. 123 overall). Bettis and Doran marked the first Red Raider pitching duo to be drafted in the top five rounds since 1994 (Ryan Nye - 2nd Round (PHI), Eric Newman - 5th Round (SD). Left-handed pitcher Jay Johnson was drafted in the 26th round by the Toronto Blue Jays, catcher Jeremy Mayo went in the 31st round to the Washington Nationals and right-handed pitcher Brett Bruening was drafted by the Chicago White Sox in the 42nd round. It was the fifth time since 2004 that Tech has had at least five draft picks. Overall, Texas Tech has had 100 players drafted in the MLB Draft since 1969.
TEXAS TECH NEWCOMERS The Red Raiders’ 2011 roster will have several new faces, 17 to be exact. And if you toss in the four players who sat out all of last season after undergoing Tommy John surgery, that number of newcomers reaches into the 20’s. But that doesn’t mean Tech’s roster will have inexperience overall. Several of Tech’s newcomers have received high school All-America honors while shortstop Kelby Tomlinson was tabbed a JUCO All-American at Seward County last season and Andre Wheeler (OF/LHP), Daniel Coulombe (LHP) and Taylor Christian (RHP) have been selected in the MLB Draft during their baseball careers. POPESCU IS LONE SENIOR FOR RED RAIDERS The Red Raider roster has one very familiar theme, and infield Nick Popescu doesn’t meet the criteria. Every player besides Popescu will have remaining years of college eligibility left after this season as Popescu is the lone senior for the Red Raiders. After watching several juniors sign in the MLB Draft last season, Popescu will be the only player on the Tech roster that will be recognized on Red Raider Senior Day in May. RED RAIDER BIRTHDAYS DURING 2011 SEASON Two Red Raiders will celebrate their birthdays on a gameday this season. Left-handed pitcher Zach Fowler will turn 22 on Feb. 27 – the fourth game of the season when Texas Tech hosts Northern Illinois in the Brooks Wallace Memorial Classic. The lone senior on the team, Nick Popescu, will celebrate his 22nd birthday on get-away day in Manhattan, Kan., as Texas Tech plays its final game of the Kansas State series on national television (FSN) on Saturday, April 23. Five other Tech players will celebrate a birthday during the season, but will have their birthday land on an off-day. Tech Players’ Birthdays During 2011 Season: Player Birthday Age Zach Fowler February 27 22 Brennan Stewart March 9 22 Robbie Kilcrease March 14 22 Marshall Williams March 17 21 Jamen Parten March 30 20 Ben Flora April 20 21 Nick Popescu April 23 22 2010 SEASON HIGHLIGHTS The 2010 Texas Tech baseball season will be remembered for many reasons, and one that had several highlights - both as a team and individually. - Barrett Barnes was named Freshman All-America by four publications - the most ever for a Red Raider freshman. - Barrett Barnes was named Big 12 Freshman of the Year. - Barrett Barnes became the first Tech freshman to lead the team in batting average (.341) and is only the second TTU freshman to lead the team in home runs (Mike Bewley, 1974). - Jamodrick McGruder became the first Tech freshman to lead the team in stolen bases (23). His SB total ranked fourth in the Big 12. - Bobby Doran was named Louisville Slugger Co-National Pitcher of the Week. Doran struck out 16 batters in 8.1 innings pitched against Missouri. - Jamodrick McGruder joined Barnes as a Freshman All-American, marking the first time in Tech history the Red & Black had a pair of Freshman All-American selections. - Chad Bettis set the Tech record for career saves (17) and he led the Big 12 in league play with 10 saves. - Scott LeJeune hit 28 doubles to lead the Big 12, rank seventh nationally and to rank tied for second all-time in Texas Tech single-season history. LeJeune also tallied a 17-game hit streak - the longest by a Red Raider since 2004 (Cameron Blair, 20 games). - Texas Tech finished in fifth place in the Big 12 (best finish since 2004). - Texas Tech won five of nine Big 12 series. - Texas Tech tied the school and Big 12 record with 12 doubles against Kansas (4/25). The Red Raiders pounded out seven doubles in the second inning alone. - Texas Tech ranked third in the nation in doubles per game (2.84) and was seventh in the country in doubles (162). - Texas Tech ranked 26th in the nation in total attendance (77,249 fans - 2,491/game).

RED RAIDER BASEBALL GAME NOTES ● Phillips 66 Big 12 Championship ● May 25-29, 2011
2011 TEXAS TECH BASEBALL 2010 BIG 12 CHAMPIONSHIP (NO. 5 SEED)
2009 BIG 12 CHAMPIONSHIP (NO. 7 SEED)
Dan Spencer guided the Red Raiders back to the Big 12 Conference Championship in Oklahoma City for the second consecutive year. This time Tech entered the tourney as the No. 5 seed - its highest seeding since 2004 when it was the No. 3 seed. Texas Tech lost its fifth game in a row to start tournament action with a 9-2 loss against Texas A&M. The Red Raiders lost game three of the Baylor series and were swept on the road at Nebraska in the final series of the regular season. Tech rebounded quickly with a 4-2 win over Texas, who entered the tournament as the No. 1 team in the country. The season ended for the Red Raiders in the third game of the Big 12 Championships with a 7-3 loss against Missouri. Tech finished the season with a 28-29 overall record and on the outside looking in at the NCAA Tournament field.
Under 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 ONE VS. OKLAHOMA Texas Tech dropped its fourth consecutive game to Texas A&M in Big 12 Championship action and the loss also gave the Red Raiders their third consecutive loss in Big 12 Championship game openers. A&M starter Michael Wacha had a no-hitter through five innings and finished with seven strikeouts. Ben Flora took the loss in the start, allowing four runs on six hits with six strikeouts in 5.1 innings. Bonham Hough homered and went 2-for-3.
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 TWO VS. TEXAS Junior right-handed pitcher Chad Bettis made a triumphant return following a four-game susension and Barrett Barnes, the Big 12’s Freshman of the Year, blasted two home runs to lead Texas Tech to a 4-2 upset over top-ranked Texas. The victory by the Red Raiders marked their first over a team ranked No. 1 in the nation since defeating top-ranked Cal State Fullerton 11-5 on May 27, 2001 (nine years to the day). The win also made Tech the only team in the Big 12 and just one of two teams nationally to win two games against the Longhorns this season. GAME THREE VS. MISSOURI Texas Tech had its season come to an end in its third game at the Big 12 Championships with a 7-3 loss against Missouri. A two-out fielding error by Jamodrick McGruder in the bottom of the seventh allowed four unearned runs - including a three-run home run by Ryan Gebhart - and eliminated Tech from postseason action.
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.

2011 TEXAS TECH BASEBALL 2006 BIG 12 CHAMPIONSHIP (NO. 8 SEED)
2005 BIG 12 CHAMPIONSHIP (NO. 8 SEED)
For 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 3126 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 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.
Texas 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 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 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. 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.
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.

2011 TEXAS TECH BASEBALL 2004 BIG 12 CHAMPIONSHIP (NO. 3 SEED)
2002 BIG 12 CHAMPIONSHIP (NO. 3 SEED)
Texas Tech made certain that it would not miss the Big 12 Conference Tournament for the second year in a row as the Red Raiders put together a 17-9 mark in league play to earn a third-place finish. The Red Raiders featured one of the top offenses in the nation in 2004 and came into the tournament having scored 66 runs in its final five games of the season. Unfortunately for the Red Raiders, they were paired up with the Baylor Bears in the first round of the tournament. Tech had just completed the regular-season with a three-game sweep of the Bears to earn the third place finish in conference. Baylor issued some revenge on Tech with a 9-3 win in the opener and thus moved Tech to the loser’s bracket against Oklahoma. The Sooners elminated Tech from the tournament with a 3-1 win. Tech exited the 2004 tournament having not won a single game for just the second time (last in 1999).
For the first time in the history of the Big 12 Conference, the postseason baseball tournament was not played in Oklahoma City and instead was played south of the Red River at the Ballpark in Arlington. The major league home of the Texas Rangers helped the league shatter NCAA records for attendance at a conference baseball tournament as 151,000 fans went through the turnstiles. Texas Tech entered the tournament on a hot streak as the squad won its last 15 regularseason games and finished tied with Nebraska for second place in the Big 12. The Huskers were given the No. 2 seed in the tourney as they owned the head-to-head tiebreaker as NU won the regular-season series 2-1. After winning its first game of the tournament 5-4 in extra-innings over Kansas State, the Red Raiders were eliminated from the tournament as Tech lost a 12-8 decision to No. 13 Nebraska and 7-6 to KSU in an elimination game.
GAME ONE VS. BAYLOR Baylor got a strong pitching performance from Trey Taylor as he held Tech to just three earned runs on eight hits over seven innings. Taylor recorded seven strikeouts and improved to 6-3 on the season. Tech’s Matthew Coco hit his seventh home run of the season while Josh Brady added his third triple. The opening round loss was Tech’s first since the 2000 season when the Red Raiders fell to Texas 8-4.
GAME ONE VS. KANSAS STATE Senior Bryon Smith tied the game in the 11th with a solo home run and then knocked in the winning run with a sacrifice fly in the bottom of the 12th to give No. 17 Tech a 5-4 win over the Wildcats. The win pushed Tech’s win streak to 16 games and was the first ever Big 12 Tournament game played at The Ballpark In Arlington. Senior reliever Steve Rowe earned the win as he pitched 3 2/3 innings and allowed just one run on five hits.
GAME TWO VS. OKLAHOMA The Oklahoma Sooners eliminated Tech from the tournament and gave the Red Raiders just their second 0-2 performance in the tournament’s history. OU right-hander Mark Roberts struckout 12 Red Raiders and fell just one inning short of a complete game. Jose Delgado finished with two hits while Josh Brady scored Tech’s only run of the game with a solo home run in the seventh. The home run was his 19th of the year.
GAME TWO VS. NEBRASKA No. 13 Nebraska scored runs in all eight innings and held off a late Red Raider rally to pick up a 12-8 win over No. 17 Texas Tech in front of 10.092 fans. The win snapped Tech’s 16 game winning streak while Nebraska’s current win streak improved to 10 games. Shane Komine earned the win for Nebraska while Nathan Fouts took the loss for Tech. GAME THREE VS. KANSAS STATE Kansas State took advantage of three passed balls and pounded out 12 hits to take a 7-6 win over No. 17 Texas Tech in an elimination game. Senior third baseman Jake Brown gave Tech a 5-0 lead in the first innings when he hit his first career grand slam. The Wildcats tied the game in the seventh inning and then Brandon Taylor gave KSU the lead with an RBI double in the bottom of the eighth. Matt Harbin took the loss for Texas Tech as he gave up one earned run on five hits in 2 2/3 innings of relief work.
