The Tim Tadlock head coaching era at Texas Tech began in 2013 with a 26-30 overall record and with a 9-15 record in Big 12 play with an eighth-place finish in the league while advancing to the Big 12 Championship. Tadlock was named head coach of the Texas Tech baseball program on June 8, 2012, becoming the ninth head coach in program history. Tadlock will enter his 22nd year in collegiate baseball in 2014, which will mark his second as head coach at Texas Tech. Regarded as one of the top recruiters in the country, Tadlock has already started making his mark as the head coach of the Red Raiders in the Big 12 Conference. In his first season the Red Raiders broke all-time school records for fielding percentage (.974) and double plays turned in a season (68). His program knocked off five nationally-ranked opponents, including the defending national champion Arizona Wildcats in Tucson. In fact, Tadlock led the Red Raiders to three consecutive wins over ranked opponents – a first by the Texas Tech program in 11 years. During his first season, the Red Raiders fielded the youngest team in the country with a nation-leading 22 newcomers. Tadlock and his coaching staff developed their young roster throughout the season while the Red Raiders won eight of their final 14 games of the season advancing to Oklahoma City

for the Big 12 Championship. The Red Raiders won their Big 12 Conference series opener in 2013 taking two of three games over Texas in Austin. It marked the first time Tech had won a series over the Longhorns in Austin since 2001 and was Tech’s first series win over Texas since 2002. Tech had two Freshmen All-Americans (1B Eric Gutierrez, C/DH Jarrard Poteete) during Tadlock’s first season along with four All-Big 12 selections (one All-Freshman team pick), four Academic All-Big 12 picks and three Major League Baseball Draft picks, including fifth rounder right-handed pitcher Trey Masek. Tadlock’s ability to recruit top-notch players in the state of Texas and throughout the country – both at the high school and junior college levels – became apparent quickly in his time at Tech while in just his seventh month on the job with his first-full season recruiting class ranked 24th in the nation by Perfect Game. Tadlock returned to his alma mater for the 2012 season as the program’s associate head coach and recruiting coordinator following six successful seasons as an assistant coach/recruiting coordinator at Oklahoma. During his one season at Tech as the associate head coach/recruiting coordinator, the Red Raiders had a school-record nine MLB Draft picks, including first-round selection center fielder Barrett Barnes, who became the third highest draft pick in school history with the 45th overall pick. The nine MLB Draft picks in 2012 ranked second in the nation only behind Arizona State’s 10 draft selections. The nine draft picks marked the fifth most in Big 12 history. Tadlock has coached 118 MLB Draft picks – including 16 players who have advanced to the big leagues. He has mentored at least one draft pick during the last 19 seasons and has coached three first-round selections, 11 players taken in the top five rounds and 24 selections in the top-10 rounds of the draft during his coaching career. Tadlock’s players have heard their names called a lot recently in the MLB Draft with 42 selections over the last four years (2010-13). Six years during his coaching career Tadlock has had at least nine players taken in the draft. Tadlock produced several of the nation’s top recruiting classes while an assistant coach at Oklahoma, helping lead the Sooners back to the College World Series in 2010, the Sooners first trip to Omaha since 1995. It didn’t take Tadlock long to make his mark on the recruiting trail at Oklahoma, as his 2006 recruiting class ranked fourth nationally by Collegiate Baseball Newspaper. The No. 4 ranking was the best for the Sooners since 1987. Tadlock also had top-25 nationally ranked recruiting classes by Baseball America in 2006 (11th), 2009 (16th), 2010 (21st) and 2012 (13th). In addition, OU’s 2012 recruiting class received a No. 4 ranking by Collegiate Baseball Newspaper. During his time at Oklahoma (2006-2011), the Sooners made five trips to the NCAA Tournament with two Super Regional appearances in 2006 and 2010 while making it back to the College World Series in Omaha in 2010. It marked OU’s first time to make five post-season appearances in a six year span since 1987-1992. The Sooners had unparalleled success at the plate under Tadlock’s guidance. Oklahoma batted over .300 during all six of his seasons – first time for OU since 1995-2000 – and his 2009 and 2010 clubs combined for 195 home runs, the most ever at Oklahoma in consecutive seasons while leading the Big 12 in homers both years.

List includes 4 freshmen & 8 newcomers. • The Red Raiders have started two freshmen at shortstop this season (Matt Broadbent and Ryan Long). • Tech pitching staff recorded 19 consecutive scoreless innings during 3-game stretch vs. Indiana (2 games) & Oral Roberts. • Tech was named the National Team of the Day (Saturday, Feb. 15) by Perfect Game and College Baseball Daily. • Texas Tech hosted the fifth annual Brooks Wallace Memorial Series (Feb. 21-23) sweeping Oral Roberts in Lubbock. • Wallace, 1-for-4 Red Raiders to have jersey (#22) retired, died at age 27 (3/24/85) after an on-going bout with leukemia. • Texas Tech broke into the NCBWA poll (Feb. 17 - No. 28) for the first time since March 21, 2005 (No. 25). • Earlier this year, Tech was ranked by Collegiate Baseball for the first time since Mar. 12, 2012 (No. 27). • Since 1996, Texas Tech is 21-2 when opening the season playing a three or four-game series against a single opponent. • Texas Tech has seen 15 newcomers in action this season, including eight true freshmen who have made career debuts. • The Red Raiders are 31-1 in two seasons under Tim Tadlock when holding a lead after eight innings. TEXAS TECH KNOCKS OFF 10TH-RANKED RICE FOR FOURTH TOP-10 WIN OF THE SEASON In just 12 games this season the Red Raiders picked up four wins against top-10 ranked opponents with three wins over third-ranked Indiana to open the season and then defeating No. 10 Rice, 2-1, at Minute Maid Stadium. The victory marked Tech’s first over a top-10 ranked team on a neutral field since defeating No. 1 Texas, 4-2, in the Big 12 Championship in Oklahoma City in 2010. In addition, Texas Tech needed only 12 games this season to claim four wins over top-10 opponents. Tech’s previous four wins over top-10 teams came from 2010-12 during a span of 143 games. SADBERRY GUIDES TECH TO RARE VICTORY - IN MANY WAYS Texas Tech had to look back to 1996 for its last win over the Rice Owls until Sunday, Mar. 2, when redshirt junior Chris Sadberry guided Tech to a 2-1 victory on the final day of the Houston College Classic at Minute Maid Park to snap the Red Raiders 15-game losing streak against Rice. Sadberry pitched seven innings while not allowing an earned run with two strikeouts, five hits allowed and didn’t issue a walk. Perhaps the most amazing part of the win was the fact Tech had just two base hits - marking the fewest hits in a game that Tech won in over 14 years. SADBERRY/LONG NAMED TO HOUSTON COLLEGE CLASSIC ALL-TOURNAMENT TEAM The Houston College Classic, now in its 14th year, selected a pair of Red Raiders to its All-Tournament Team, a first for Tech since 2008. Junior left-handed pitcher Chris Sadberry (W, 7 IP, 5 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 2 SO) and freshman shortstop Ryan Long (.400, R, 2B, RBI) were both named to the 13-player all-tourney list. Sadberry became Tech’s first pitcher on the all-tournament team since 2004 (Adam Fry) and became Tech’s first left-handed pitcher to be selected. Long became the first Tech freshman and shortstop to make the all-tourney list. In addition, Sadberry, who transferred to Tech this year from Grayson County College, became Tech’s first newcomer to win a game at the Houston College Classic since 2008 when now Tampa Bay Rays right-handed pitcher Nathan Karns led Tech to a 7-3 victory over Tennessee. Karns transferred to Tech after spending his freshman season (2007) at NC State.

Burleson, who leads all active players in base hits, reached the 100-career base hit milestone during Tech’s weekend at the Houston College Classic. Texas Tech Active Players - Most Career Base Hits Bryant Burleson (2012-Present)___________ 100 Tim Proudfoot (2012-Present)______________ 97 Devon Conley (2013-Present)______________ 65 Jake Barrios (2013-Present)________________ 62 Eric Gutierrez (2013-Present)______________ 62 Mason Randolph (2011-Present)___________ 56 TEXAS TECH HAS LONGEST WIN STREAK SINCE 2002 The Texas Tech baseball program has its longest winning streak since capturing 14 straight wins in 2002. The last time Texas Tech won eight straight games was 2007 (Feb. 10-23). With a win on Thursday, Tech would capture its eighth straight win, that hasn’t happened at Tech since 2002 when the Red Raiders won 16 consecutive games (April 13-May 22). RYAN LONG BECOMES SEVENTH RED RAIDER TO BE NAMED BIG 12 NEWCOMER OF THE WEEK Texas Tech freshman infielder Ryan Long was named the Big 12 Newcomer of the Week (2/24) after batting .500 (6-for-12) with three RBI and three consecutive games with multiple hits during the Red Raiders three-game series sweep over Oral Roberts. Long becomes the seventh Red Raider to receive the honor and is just the second Tech freshman position player (2011 - OF Andre Wheeler). Texas Tech had the very first Big 12 Newcomer of the Week during the award’s first season in 2011 when Tech shortstop Kelby Tomlinson won the award after the first week of the season. TEXAS TECH SWEEPS ORAL ROBERTS - FIRST THREE-GAME SERIES SWEEP FOR TECH SINCE 2012 Tech swept its first three-game series of the season over Oral Roberts (Feb. 21-23) at Rip Griffin Park. It marked Tech’s first three-game series sweep since taking an April three-game series over Houston in 2012. RED RAIDERS START SEASON 7-1 WITH IMPRESSIVE NON-CONFERENCE WINS Playing arguably its most difficult schedule for the opening eight games of the season since 2008, the Red Raiders have started the season 7-1 with three wins over No. 3 Indiana, a three-game series sweep over Oral Roberts and knocking off BYU. It marks the seventh time during the Big 12 era (since 1997) that Tech has started the year 7-1 and the fourth time over the last five years. Tech also started the season 7-1 in 2012, 2011, 2010, 2005, 2003 and 1997. NESLONY BECOMES FIRST RED RAIDER WITH PAIR OF GRAND SLAMS IN A SEASON SINCE 2008 Outfielder Tyler Neslony hit his first career home run - grand slam - and triple on opening weekend against No. 3 Indiana. The next weekend, Neslony hit his second career grand slam against Oral Roberts with a shot over the right-field wall. Neslony is the first Red Raider since Roger Kieschnick (2008) with a pair of grand slams in a season. Kieschnick ended his Tech career with three. Neslony turned a lot of heads during the first two weekends of the season. Through six games, Neslony is batting .533 (8-for-15), five runs, a double, triple, two grand slams, 10 RBI, 17 total bases, 1.133 slugging percentage and .611 on-base percentage. Neslony will now miss time after suffering a right-hand injury during Tech’s game two contest against Oral Roberts. *** Neslony is the first Red Raider with 10 RBI through six games since 2009 (Chris Richburg - 10). *** Neslony has the highest slugging percentage (1.133) by a Red Raider through 6 games since 2003 (Evan Shahak - 1.263).

TEXAS TECH SWEEPS ORAL ROBERTS IN FIFTH-ANNUAL BROOKS WALLACE MEMORIAL SERIES For the fifth consecutive year, the Texas Tech baseball program recognized one of its own with the Brooks Wallace Memorial Series – this season a three-game series against Oral Roberts. The Red Raiders swept the three-game series – its first threegame sweep since 2012 (vs. Houston) – with 3-2, 7-2 and 4-1 victories over the Golden Eagles. Wallace, who is one of four Red Raiders to have their jersey number (#22) retired, died at the age of 27 on March 24, 1985 after an on-going bout with leukemia. Wallace played at Tech from 1977-80 while earning All-SWC honors and All-District VI recognition. He was twice selected in the MLB Draft by the Texas Rangers (21st Round) in 1980 and also by the New York Mets following his junior season at Tech in 1979. Wallace served as a graduate assistant coach under Kal Segrist in 1983 and as an assistant coach under Gary Ashby in 1984-85. In addition, the former Red Raider’s name is also attached to the College Baseball Foundation’s Brooks Wallace Award, an honor given annually to the nation’s top collegiate shortstop. TEXAS TECH IS BACK IN THE NATIONAL RANKINGS - FIRST TIME SINCE 2012 The Texas Tech baseball program received a pair of national rankings following its 3-1 record over third-ranked Indiana on opening weekend. Tech received a No. 28 ranking from NCBWA - its first ranking in that poll since 2005 - and was also tabbed No. 30 by Collegiate Baseball. The last time Tech was in the national rankings was in 2012 with three straight rankings in Collegiate Baseball’s top-30 poll. OPENING WEEKEND SERVED AS THE FIRST OF MANY FOR RED RAIDERS Texas Tech came away with a series win claiming 3-of-4 victories from No. 3 Indiana on opening weekend in Lubbock (2/14-16). The Red Raiders picked up their first series win over a top-five opponent since 2008 (No. 2 Missouri) and the series finale, 7-0 shutout over the Hoosiers, was Tech’s first shutout over a top-10 opponent since 2009 (6-0 at No. 10 Kansas State). With wins over Indiana during the final three games it also marked the first time Tech had won three straight games over a top-five opponent in over 13 years. TADLOCK LOOKS TO CONTINUE SUCCESS AT HOME AGAINST NON-CONFERENCE OPPONENTS Head coach Tim Tadlock has led the Red Raiders to a 21-4 record against non-conference opponents at home during his two season at the helm. Tech has posted notable non-conference wins at home against No. 3 Indiana (3 wins), No. 20 Arizona State (3/19), New Mexico State, No. 17 New Mexico and Dallas Baptist to name a few. TEXAS TECH HAS 48 WINS AGAINST RANKED OPPONENTS AT HOME SINCE 2001 Texas Tech is 48-46 against nationally-ranked opponents at home since 2001. Tech is 3-1 this season against top-25 ranked opponents (3-1 record vs. No. 3 Indiana). Last season, the first under head coach Tim Tadlock, the Red Raiders went 3-2 against ranked teams - marking the program’s first time with a winning record against ranked opponents at home since 2010 (5-4). Last season the Red Raiders defeated No. 20 Arizona State, No. 17 New Mexico and No. 19 Oklahoma State on their home field. TEXAS TECH AGAINST TOP-10 RANKED OPPONENTS AT HOME (SINCE 2005) Texas Tech is 11-12 against top-10 ranked teams at home since 2005 while claiming its most recent wins against a top-10 team in Lubbock against No. 3 Indiana while winning the final three games of the series. Tech also defeated No. 5 Texas A&M (4-3, 12 inn.) on April 8, 2011. Indiana marked the eighth top-10 opponent to travel to Lubbock since 2005 and were just the second non-conference foe (No. 8 TCU - 2011) during that time frame. TEXAS TECH AGAINST TOP-5 RANKED OPPONENTS AT HOME (SINCE 2004) The Red Raiders are 7-8 against top-five ranked opponents in Lubbock since 2004. Indiana marked the fifth top-five team to play in Lubbock over the last 13 years and the first non-conference top-five ranked team making the trip to Lubbock. Below is a look at the Red Raiders against top-five ranked opponents at home since 2004.

It marked Tech’s first doubleheader sweep over a ranked opponent since taking a pair of games against No. 3 Texas A&M (5-4 and 9-1) on March 14, 1999. 2014 OPENING DAY CROWD - BEST SINCE 2003 FOR TEXAS TECH HOME OPENER Texas Tech saw 2,751 fans attend Opening Day against No. 3 Indiana with 62 degrees at first pitch (2:01 p.m.), which marked the largest home opener crowd for the Red Raiders since 2003 (3,018 vs. New Mexico). FASTEST PLAYED TEXAS TECH OPENING DAY SINCE 1993 Texas Tech lost on Opening Day 1-0 against No. 3 Indiana in a contest that lasted just one hour and 58 minutes. The last time Tech played in an opener that took less time was in 1993 when Tech defeated Howard Payne 6-0 in Lubbock during a one hour and 50 minute contest.

DOMINANT MOUND PRESENCE ON OPENING DAY LAST FOUR SEASONS The past four Opening Day games (2011-14) for Texas Tech have been extremely successful on the mound. Since the 2011 opener, Texas Tech has allowed only two runs (1 ER) during a 8-0 win over Western Michigan (2011), 4-1 win over No. 31 Missouri State (2012), 8-0 shutout over Northern Illinois (2013) and a 1-0 loss against No. 3 Indiana (2014). During that stretch the Tech pitching staff has a 0.25 ERA in 36 innings with 16 hits allowed, one earned run, 41 strikeouts and 10 walks. Tech posted a two-hitter against Western Michigan (2011) and posted the program’s first one-hitter on Opening Day in over 27 years over the Missouri State Bears in 2012. OPENING DAY NOTES - VS. NO. 3 INDIANA - Texas Tech played 18 players - its most on Opening Day since 2006 (19 - vs. Louisiana-Monroe, W, 21-5). - Marked Tech’s first top-10 ranked opponent on Opening Day since 1989 (No. 10 Arizona State in Tempe). - Marked Tech’s first Opening Day opponent coming off a trip to Omaha since 1995 (No. 22 Arizona State in Tempe). - Tech had its 14-game win streak snapped on Opening Day at home (dated back to 1999). - Marked Tech’s first shutout on Opening Day at home since 1959 (0-4, vs. Colorado). - Red Raiders didn’t commit an error on Opening Day for the first time since 2010 (vs. Jacksonville State). - Marked 13th time since 1987 that Tech’s starting pitcher allowed one or fewer runs on Opening Day (fifth year in a row). - Tech had six players make career debuts, including three freshmen (Kirsch, Broadbent, Herrington, Lyons, Long, Redman). - Red Raiders had three players make first career starts - DH Adam Kirsch, 1B Matt Broadbent, LF Heath Herrington. - Tech played its Opening Day on Valentine’s Day for just second time in school history (1977 - vs. UT Arlington - W, 8-3). PROUDFOOT STARTS OPENING DAY AT SHORTSTOP FOR 3RD STRAIGHT SEASON - FIRST IN OVER 27 YEARS Junior Tim Proudfoot made his third straight start at shortstop for the Red Raiders on Opening Day (2011-13) while becoming the first Tech player to start three consecutive Opening Days at shortstop in over 27 years. KIRSCH HOMERS FOR FIRST CAREER BASE HIT - FIRST SINCE VON SCHAMANN IN 2011 Senior transfer Adam Kirsch hit a two-run homer in the second game of the season against No. 3 Indiana on Feb. 15 in game one of the doubleheader against the Hoosiers. It marked the first time since 2011 (Duke von Schamann, vs. Iowa) that a Red Raider had hit a home run for his first career base hit. DOMINIC MORENO STARTS ON OPENING DAY FOR SECOND STRAIGHT SEASON Junior RHP pitcher Dominic Moreno became just the fifth Red Raider - and first since 2010 - to start on Opening Day for Texas Tech in back-to-back seasons. Moreno took the loss in a 1-0 defeat against No. 3 Indiana, giving him a 1-1 career record on Opening Day for the Red Raiders. Moreno was nearly flawless in his career debut on Opening Day a year ago while providing one of the top performances in school history on Opening Day. Moreno earned the win during an 8-0 shutout over Northern Illinois striking out 11 batters - most by a Red Raider on Opening Day in over 27 years - in six innings allowing five hits and three walks in a 97-pitch performance.

2014 Texas Tech Baseball GAME NOTES BURLESON HAS HIT STREAK SNAPPED AT 16 GAMES - LONGEST BY A RED RAIDER SINCE 2010 Bryant Burleson extended his career-best hit streak to 16 games before having it snapped in the third game of the season. Burleson’s streak - which dated back to 2013 - marked the longest by a Red Raider since 2010 (Scott LeJeune - 17 games). The junior from Midland batted .375 (24-for-64) with seven runs, four doubles, 10 RBI and five walks. Burleson ended the 2013 season with a 14-game streak, which was the longest to end a season by a Red Raider since 2001 (Anthony Arnerich - 17 games). RANDOLPH GIVES TEXAS TECH IS LONE FOURTH-YEAR SENIOR Texas Tech catcher Mason Randolph has been around for a while now - not just because the senior catcher is from Lubbock - graduating in 2010 from Coronado High School - but because he is the only fourth-year senior on the Red Raiders roster. Randolph entered the season having played in 86 career games (66 starts) with a .237 (55-for-232) career average with 38 runs, 11 doubles, three home runs and 28 RBI while starting in 42 games in 2013 as a junior behind the plate. DAMRON & MOSELEY CHOSE TEXAS TECH OVER MLB OPPORTUNITIES Texas Tech had two student-athletes decide to start a collegiate career and bypass the opportunity to sign with a Major League Baseball organization as both RHP Ryan Moseley (Lubbock, Texas/Cooper HS) and LHP Ty Damron (Krum, Texas/ Krum HS) pass on MLB offers after being selected in the 2013 MLB Draft. Moseley, who went 10-2 with a 1.78 ERA with 111 strikeouts in 78.2 innings as a senior, was taken in the 36th round of the draft by the Tampa Bay Rays. Damron, who was the only draft pick the Dodgers didn’t sign that was taken in the top 15 rounds, was the 13th round pick by the Dodgers. Damron went 8-2 as a senior with a 1.00 ERA with 138 strikeouts allowing just 40 walks. Damron became the highest drafted incoming Red Raider to make it to campus since 2007 when Chad Bettis was taken in the eighth round by the Astros. Bettis was a second round pick out of Tech following his junior season in 2010 and made his MLB debut in 2013 with the Rockies. LEADING OFF FOR THE RED RAIDERS ... Taking a closer look at the Red Raiders first time at the plate to start a season shows that Tech has scored at least one run in the first inning in 11 of the last 14 Opening Day games. When looking at the Red Raiders leadoff hitter in the first inning, Tech’s first man to the plate during a new season is 5-for-11 with three walks, two strikeouts and once reaching base on error since 2001. Tech’s leadoff batter has scored in the first inning eight times over the last 14 years. Year Hitter (POS) Count Result Scored 1st Inn.
