Red to Black discusses tax filing for students

By JOHN BOWLES Staff Writer

The deadline for filing income taxes is normally April 15, however, this year, it will be April 18.

The IRS Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program gives free tax assistance to qualified individuals, including low-income, disabled and limited English speaking people, according to the IRS website.

Organizations like FreeTax, which serves Lubbock, operate under the tax assistance program. More importantly for students, any person filing alone with an income less than $29,450 has access to this free tax preparation program.

“We really encourage Texas Tech students to take advantage of this opportunity because, again, it is completely free if you are under that minimum threshold,” Tyler Maness,

COMMENCEMENT

Lanier named featured speaker Texas Tech School of Law alumnus Mark Lanier will speak to Spring 2016 graduates as the featured commencement speaker May 20-21 in the United Supermarkets Arena.

Lanier, a 1984 Tech law graduate, recently won the 2016 Distinguished Alumni Award for his civil trial successes and contributions to his alma mater, according to a Tech news release.

“We are proud of Mark Lanier, his achievements and his contributions to Texas Tech University,” John Opperman, Tech interim president, said in the release.

“The university appreciates his appearance at this momentous occasion for our graduates.”

In 2008, the Mark and Becky Lanier Professional Development Center opened in the School of Law, according to the release, because of a $6 million donation from Lanier.

After graduating from Tech, Lanier founded a law firm in Houston, according to the release, and has won multiple influential verdicts, including one of the largest asbestos cases in U.S. history in 1998.

a senior personal financial planning major from Arlington who works for Red to Black, said.

Students do not necessarily have to pay to go to a tax preparation service.

“I would say that 80 to 90 percent of college students, at least on the undergraduate level, would qualify (for free tax preparation),” Kelly McCune, a graduate personal financial planning student from Austin, who also works for Red to Black, said.

Personal financial planning majors, like Maness, can be required to do volunteer work in the tax assistance program as part of their course requirements.

“It’s really quite nice giving back to the community, and seeing like the impact that you have on the greater Lubbock community as a whole, rather than just Texas Tech students,” he said.

Afternoon rain surprises students

fter a week of sunny days, Texas Tech students were surprised to have been drenched by rain Tuesday.

With the morning starting out mostly cloudy, the day seemed to be a relatively nice day aside from some slightly chilly breezes.

However, at around 2 p.m., the rains started to fall.

The rains increased as the day progressed, and water accumulated in large puddles all over campus.

Tech students got out their big coats and rain boots to face the rainy weather in the middle of the day. However, some students were not as prepared for the day to take such a sharp turn in weather.

Chelsea Mooneyhan, a freshman biology major from Dallas, said she did not care for the rain today, as it was not taken into account in her daily planning.

“I hate it, because it got really cold and my shoes and socks are soaked completely through so it’s been kind of bad,” she said.

Mooneyhan said she was ill prepared for the rain to come in the middle of the day while she was still going to classes.

“I was not prepared at all. I couldn’t even find my umbrella today, but I am happy I found my raincoat,” she said. “I was actually planning to wear shorts today until I walked outside and it was raining and freezing.”

QPR training aids suicide prevention Suicide has been shown to be the second or third leading cause of death in people between the ages of 15 and 24 in this country, Dr. Klint Hobbs, licensed psychologist and assistant director at the Student Counseling Center, said.

To combat this, in 2011 the Student Counseling Center began offering QPR Gatekeeper training to everyone on the Texas Tech campus. This hour-long training, or the extended

two-hour training, is offered on a monthly basis as well as offered upon request to classes and student organizations. Finally, the training has been made mandatory for new Tech employees.

“One of the statistics that we talk about in the QPR training is the number of people who kill themselves every week in this county is the same as a 747 crash with no survivors,” Hobbs said. “So it’s a huge

problem that I don’t think people really realize.”

In this training, participants are taught to question, persuade and finally to refer, Hobbs said, so that they are able to assess whether an individual is suicidal and then they are able to refer them to the appropriate resource on or off campus.

Those who are certified are not listed on the program’s website, as there have been an upward of 2,500

people trained through this program, he said, making this list too extensive to put online. Additionally, this certification is not intended to set some people apart from the rest.

“The point that we make in the training is that suicide prevention is everybody’s business and everybody should really be trained,” Hobbs said.

The center of the training is to educate people on

the myths and facts about suicide, Hobbs said. The dominant underlying myth is that suicide is inevitable for individuals who have become resolved to end their lives.

To contrast this idea, Hobbs said that years of research have shown that individuals who are suicidal or have attempted suicide do not have to struggle with this their whole lives, but can overcome it to lead more prosperous lives.

“Texas Tech cares about students,” he said. “We want them to be successful here, and students who are considering suicide are typically students who are really experiencing trouble. You don’t really see suicide enter the picture until somebody feels hopeless, and they want students here not to feel hopeless, but to have hope for the future and accomplish the things they need to.” @DTalexarosas

Departments team up to fuel food pantry Texas Tech Student Housing Sustainability will have drop-off locations for students in residence halls who want to donate nonperishable foods to a newly created on-campus food pantry.

Student Housing Sustainability and the Graduate Student Advisory Council have teamed up to maintain a food pantry on campus.

Julia Peña, a marketing and sustainability intern, said Student Housing Sustainability’s main goal is to give back to the students while repurposing whatever they can.

The food pantry is another

opportunity to give back, Peña said.

By providing the drop-off boxes and transferring the food to the food pantry, she said, they will be able to give back.

The drop-off locations can be found in every residence hall on campus beginning May 9 and will be accepting donations until move-out day, May 18.

The food pantry can be found in the Graduate Center in the basement of the Administration building, and it is currently only open to graduate students as well as international students,

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — A judge in southern California has dismissed a securities fraud lawsuit brought by investors in SeaWorld Entertainment, Inc. who claimed company officials misled them about the impact of the documentary “Blackfish” on the company’s financial performance and attendance at its parks.

U.S. District Judge Michael Anello said the investors failed to show that SeaWorld officials had deliberately made false statements, that “Blackfish” alone caused attendance declines and that SeaWorld officials knew “Blackfish” had caused attendance declines.

The lawsuit was brought by pension retirement programs for Arkansas state workers and Danish workers on behalf of all investors who had purchased shares in the company after its initial public offering April 2013 until August 2014.

TAXES

CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 One of the personal financial planning classes includes 30 hours of volunteer work with the tax assistance program, according to the Tech website.

“Try to get your taxes done as soon as possible,” Maness said. “It’s a bad idea to wait until the last

minute to get taxes filed, because of the stressful last-minute rush that occurs every year.”

Everyone does not necessarily have to file income taxes, McCune said, if they have not made a sufficient amount of income. Not all income is taxable.

Single individuals younger than 65 have to file if their gross income exceeds $10,300, according to the IRS website.

“One thing, I’ll say, that students need to be careful with, and I’ve seen this a few times, is to make sure that if their parents are claiming their educational credit that they don’t claim it as well,” Maness said.

The IRS, in this situation, can come back to the student to have them correct apparent mistakes on the forms, which can be confusing, he said. @JBowles_DT

Issues identified with jail where Bland died DALLAS (AP) — The small-town Texas jail where Sandra Bland died last summer needs a new building, more expertise among its staff to identify mental health issues, and body cameras and anger-management training for its jailers, according to a report issued Tuesday by a panel convened after Bland’s death.

The sheriff ’s office in Waller County agreed to have outside experts review the county jail in Hempstead, about 50 miles northwest of Houston after Bland died. Bland, who was black, was jailed after a state trooper pulled her over in July for a minor traffic viola-

tion. Dashcam video of her arrest and the circumstances of her death provoked national outrage and drew the attention of the Black Lives Matter movement.

Video of the stop near Houston shows the trooper, Brian Encinia, yelling at Bland, then pulling a stun gun and saying, “I will light you up!” Encinia has pleaded not guilty to a misdemeanor perjury charge stemming from the stop. He has also been fired.

Bland, who was in the process of moving to Texas from the Chicago area, was found dead in the Waller County Jail three days after her arrest. Authorities said

she was hanging from a jail cell partition with a plastic garbage bag around her neck. A medical examiner ruled it a suicide and a grand jury declined to indict any sheriff ’s officials or jailers in her death.

Bland’s supporters have questioned whether the jail’s conditions had anything to do with her death.

While the panelists who presented their jail report at a news conference Tuesday in Hempstead mostly stayed away from specifics about Bland’s death, their recommendations target mental health screenings and the overall treatment of inmates.

Semester near end, try to keep up

C

ollege kids have a lot on their plates. School and work alone can be tough to juggle, throw in club and organization commitments and you have quite the recipe for sleepless nights and exhaustingly long days.

Spare time grows even sparser this time of year, and balancing life can be harder than stretching the $50 left on your meal plan for the last month of school.

Wi t h m o s t s t u d e n t s ’ stress levels at an all-time high because of impending finals, figuring out how to survive the rest of the year with sanity intact is a daunting challenge.

Personally, I have no idea how to do this. The remnants of the rational part of my brain have long since left, and haven’t returned for a visit for some time.

There are, however, a few things that can be done to ease the suffocating, claustrophobic stress of school that we pay thousands of dollars for the pleasure of experiencing.

These are by no means new, however I believe these tricks deserve reiteration. One of the greatest tips I ever received regarding college was to

show up and introduce yourself to your professor as soon as possible.

Heeding this simple advice literally saved me from a failing grade on more than one occasion.

One truly angelic professor actually allowed me to retake an exam I slept through simply because I showed up at their office hours in the beginning of the semester and introduced myself.

I was no longer an indistinguishable name in the sea of students in a 400-person lecture hall, but a living, breathing entity capable of feeling intense human emotions and apparently incapable of setting an iPhone alarm.

Other instructors have given me study guides that differ only slightly from the actual tests, increasing the efficiency of my library time exponentially, and still more office hours visits have netted me extra credit opportunities that turned that high C

into a B. Needless to say, I am a big fan of the ol’ office hours visit.

Some of you may say, “wow, thanks dude for literally the most obvious ‘advice’ there is,” and to them I would say, “you’re welcome.” However when consoling friends about a comically low test grade, the first thing I ask them is if they visited the professor before the test.

Nine times out of 10, they answer “No.” Another crucial element of school survival, in my opinion, is getting a reasonable amount of exercise. If you’re anything like me, you are an all or nothing type of person.

Doing a ‘little’ bit of anything seems like a colossal waste of time, and somehow I believe I’m better off firing up Netflix and binge-eating Pop-Tarts than studying for 30 minutes of the day like my professor recommends.

Nay. If I am going to study, it’s going be an extremely unpleasant experience lasting all night in the library the night before a test strung-out on Red Bull and pre-workout obsessively making notecards that have little relevance to the subject at hand.

The point is this line of reasoning is very wrong and

inefficient, and like most things, a little consistent work every day will benefit you much more than cramming at the last minute. This relates to exercise similarly.

I have my moments of workout obsession where I view rest days the way the Westboro Baptist Church views tolerance, but these moments are almost unanimously followed by periods of complete immobility.

I have found four solid consistent days a week in the gym are best for my time and commitments, and workouts have often been the saving grace to my school-fueled anxiety.

Sometimes the only way to deal with the pressure we all feel is by sweating it out.

Also, there are studies out there that correlate consistent physical activity with increased test scores.

So, my friends, let’s breathe and take it easy.

Soon finals will be here, and soon they will be gone.

Do what you need to do to pass that class, but don’t forget to take care of yourself.

Bust a sweat, set up study groups, but take time to relax and sleep, a little every day is the way to go. Peace. opinions@dailytoreador.com

his isn’t the first time I’ve discussed working a part-time job while attending school full time. Last time I focused on on-campus jobs and their pay, but only touched on the role that professors and administrators play in a student’s life.

It seems most professors are really understanding toward students with parttime jobs because of what they think and what they say, but sometimes taking a look at a syllabus and calendar for the semester may contradict the professors altogether. Of course, that’s not the professors’ faults, it has to be nearly impossible, if not completely, to try and work with every student’s schedule, especially when some professors may be teaching more than one course and could possibly have 400 students or more.

It has come to my understanding since being in college that most professors have their own lives outside of school that also take up a vast amount of their time, whether it be other jobs, research or personal projects.

So taking this into consideration, it’s safe to assume mostly everyone on campus is completely swamped with school and other priorities.

However, the difference between students and professors is students are paying to come to school in hopes of creating their own path to a bright future, while professors are paid to help students succeed. By no means are teaching jobs among some of the highest paid professions, but teachers and professors maintain some of the most important roles in today’s world.

According to Laura W. Perna’s article, “Understanding the Working College Student” published on the American University of Professors website, Perna makes many suggestions to help students and professors work together.

Perna’s suggestions include, “offering students access to academic advising and other support services at night and on weekends; offering online course registration and academic advising; providing child care options.” But I think the idea that stuck out the most was the one of rewarding professors who work especially hard to help students with part-time jobs.

I was also very fond of

Emma Martinez is a sophomore English major from Odessa.

Perna’s idea of advisers and professors helping students to receive the most beneficial part-time jobs, not only in a financial way but also in an educational way that students to use to incorporate in their future.

However, to ensure improvements from Perna’s suggestions, changes should begin in secondary schooling rather than higher education. In high school habits are formed because it’s engraved in students that they’re being prepared and molded for college. Perna mentions in her article that according to the National Center for Education Statistics “nearly half (45%) of ‘traditional’ undergraduates… worked while enrolled.”

I personally started working in high school, not knowing that it would prepare me for working while in college, so I of course can stand behind this statistic.

Transitioning from high school to college is complicated enough that to also try and change learning and working habits, even if it’s for the best, is not usually a top priority.

Students cannot take the time to adjust to an all new strategy, because by the time they’ve figured it out they’ve lost their entire first semester, along with the thousands of dollars that go with it, and then it starts all over again the next, a vicious cycle some students can relate to even today.

Because there is so much going on in most college students’ lives, suggestions, strategies and plans must be taken seriously, because working students are becoming a norm in today’s society and numbers will most likely grow among these statistics.

I’m not saying teachers need to change what they’re teaching or how, simply in what way they plan on getting their messages across to their students. School can be difficult, as can work, but together professors and administrators can merge these two worlds to help a student succeed in the most beneficial way, for both the student and society. emartinez@dailytoreador.com

Group projects detrimental to students, not good for learning

hroughout the time a student is in college, he or she will have to collaborate with others in many group projects.

While professors are assign i ng the proj ects with good intentions, most of the time, these projects don’t go according to plan.

While not all group projects go badly, most are extremely daunting to these students.

On multiple occasions, I have been paired up in groups that included a select few students doing most of the work while others laze around, barely contributing anything but their names on the final product.

When people say that group projects are meant to divvy up the work between a group, making it easier for each student to do their part, they aren’t accounting for when some students decide

they don’t want to work their part of the project.

In reality, when a class assignment is assigned to a group of five students, only two or three will put their full effort into making this project outstanding, with the other two only focusing on doing their own part or doing nothing at all.

While some students enjoy getting assigned group projects, most students believe that group projects are detrimental to the class, and I believe that to be correct.

When the opportunity to shovel all work onto one

student is present, some classmates decide to take the easy way out of an assignment, while letting someone do all the work.

After all, if the group members all get the same grade at the end, why would they even bother to do their part if someone will pick up after their inconsistencies?

Professors should retire group projects entirely in order to ensure the students achieving great grades deserve them, while rooting out the troublemakers who would push off their role onto the brighter students involved.

These group projects are increasingly aggravating to students who want an exemplary grade in their studies, due to the amount of uncooperative members that these students get assigned to.

Lubbock Music Now gives local musicians exposure

By DAVID GAY Staff Writer

Because Lubbock is not the biggest of cities in Texas, musicians who establish their base here have a challenging time showcasing their craft in the bigger cities in Texas and in other places around the country.

Civic Lubbock is developing a way for these artists can get their names past the confines of Lubbock.

Lubbock Music Now is a compilation album being put together by the Entertainment Committee of Civic Lubbock. James Eppler, chairman of the Entertainment Committee, said the idea came about by wondering what it would be like to have a CD to show people who live in Lubbock how great the music scene is.

Eddie Moreno, vice chairperson of the Entertainment Committee and a former local musician for 18 years, said the committee has been wanting to do something to give recognition to local musicians for years. Moreno said other cities in Texas have been producing compilations like this one.

“Unless you go and see these bands, you don’t know they are from the Lubbock area,” Moreno said. “We want to showcase our local area of musicians and the music that is happening now in Lubbock.”

RAIN

CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 Lubbock has experienced reduced precipitation levels from January through March this year compared to last year during the same months. According to the National Weather Service website, this year Lub-

Eppler said the people in Lubbock spend much time honoring the music of a previous time, like Buddy Holly and Mac Davis. With the Lubbock Music Now compilation, it showcases the musicians making music in Lubbock now.

“We decided it was time to do something for the amazing musicians that are still here,” Eppler said.

“The musicians who are providing the soundtrack to our weekends are the guys who are grinding it out every weekend and during the week, making a few hundred dollars a gig.

It’s a tough occupation. We wanted to do something to honor them.”

Civic Lubbock started reaching out to artists through different social media platforms, Eppler said.

Facebook is the major platform it has used because that is how bands from this area interact with people.

Applying to be a part of this compilation involves a one-page application, Eppler said. The artist has to meet certain criteria to be a part of this project, including having to live within 100 miles of the Lubbock city limits and having to have had two paying gigs in Lubbock in the past year.

“Once people meet the criteria, they upload a song to a Dropbox account,” Eppler said. “We send all the

submissions to a committee, not a local one. They are current and past members of the Texas Grammy Board.”

Artists of any genre can apply to be a part of this compilation, Moreno said.

This compilation is a snapshot of what is being played in Lubbock now.

Submissions opened last week, and there have already been more than a dozen submissions for the compilation, Eppler said.

After listening to some of the submissions, Eppler said they impressed him.

“Some of (the submissions) could be radio hits,” he said. “We are on our way to have a quality album. We have had a good mixture of genres so far. We are open to everything from Christian to country to hip-hop to electronic. As long as it’s not over six minutes long, we want to hear it.”

If a submission is chosen to be on the album, the artist will receive $200 for their contribution, Eppler said. The rest of the proceeds will go right back to Civic Lubbock to make future editions of the compilation and support other local music projects.

Moreno said listening to local bands growing up encouraged him to learn guitar and become a musician. The bands on this compilation will have that local influence in their sound, and Moreno said he hopes that

this will influence everyone to listen to more local bands.

“Local influence is part of the music family,” Moreno said. “If your family has freckles, you are most likely to have freckles. If your influences are local bands, it will show in your music the influences from those bands.”

Selling the CDs through local businesses and through iTunes will appeal to visitors to Lubbock, Eppler said. If Civic Lubbock did this album 10 years ago, people like Josh Abbott and William Clark Green would have been exposed much earlier than they were.

“Lubbock Music Now is a time capsule,” Eppler said.

“It’s what we are listening to in 2016. Three years from now, there will be different groups of people and different sounds.”

Submissions end for the compilation on April 30, Eppler said, and people can apply through the Civic Lubbock website. When the compilation finally comes together and is released in October, there will be some kind of event for the release, and Civic Lubbock is still working out the details on this event.

Moreno thinks if this opportunity were around when he was a musician, there would have been more opportunities for bands in his time

to be successful, he said.

“Without having a major record label producing your music, it’s hard to get known if you are just a local band,” Moreno said. “It’s hard to get out of that. Having been in that position, this is a chance to open the door to these bands, to give them the state and national recognition that they deserve.”

Eppler said this compilation is a reminder of how great the music scene is currently in Lubbock.

“We spend so much time thinking about how great Lubbock music used to be,” Eppler said. “It’s easy to forget how great it still is.”

bock had .59 inches of rain compared to last year’s 2.7 inches during the first three months of the year.

Mooneyhan was not the only Tech student who was poorly equipped to take on Tuesday’s precipitation.

“It kind of disrupts your day-to-day activities,” Roshan Chapagain, a freshman computer science major

from Nepal, said. “I couldn’t attend classes because I hadn’t bought an umbrella, and for that stupid reason I didn’t go to my classes.”

These were just two of the many students who may not have had their umbrella on them, or were on the other side of campus from their residence halls and rain boots.

As of 6:53 p.m., the rainfall for Tuesday totaled .31 inches at the Lubbock Preston Smith International Airport, according to the NWS website.

Although the rain affected some students negatively, Isabella Olivas, a freshman accounting major from Odessa, said she enjoyed the feeling of the rain.

“My personal opinion of it is that I like it, I like when it rains, it’s nice outside,” she said. “I finished class right before it started raining, so I’ve just kind of been in my room all day.”

All three students said people should always keep an umbrella in their backpacks and know the location of their rainy day gear

so they can be ready when it starts falling.

The weather today and Thursday will be mostly cloudy to sunny with the high temperatures reaching 79 degrees Fahrenheit. Rain chances pick up again Friday through Saturday with chances of thunderstorms and slightly cooler temperatures.

Mahomes will be even better in 2016 H

eading into Saturday’s Spring Game, Texas Tech junior quarterback Patrick Mahomes II is the only player on the roster who has locked up a starting spot.

Mahomes is a sure starter after winning the quarterback battle last offseason and having one the most productive seasons for a quarterback in school history. As a sophomore, Mahomes became the 12th quarterback in NCAA FBS history to record more than 5,000 total yards in a season. He also recorded 46 touchdowns, according to the Tech Athletics website.

While Mahomes is clearly one of the top quarterbacks in the nation, his historic season came with the help of three established seniors: running back DeAndre Washington, wide receiver Jakeem Grant and offensive tackle Le’Raven Clark.

With those three players gone in the upcoming season, there will be unknowns about all the position groups around the quarterback: offensive line, wide receiver and running back.

Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury has raved about Mahomes’ improvement this offseason since he elected to not play baseball and focus solely on football.

The question facing Mahomes in 2016 is, can he have

Jeremy Krakosky is a senior marketing and management dual major from Red Oak.

an even better season without the help of established senior players?

There are a few factors that will go into that answer.

First off, Mahomes put up massive numbers a season ago despite being injured for much of the season. He suffered a knee injury in the fourth game of the season on Sept. 26 against Texas Christian University on a touchdown run.

He did not miss any starts in 2015, but wore a brace for weeks afterward and was clearly slowed by the injury.

If Mahomes can manage to stay healthy all season it will greatly help his cause for an even better season.

There is uncertainty to whether the quarterback will be able to stay healthy as a junior because of who will be protecting him.

In addition to losing a four-year starter in Le’Raven Clark, the offensive line also lost starting center Jared Kaster and starting guard Alfredo Morales. Mahomes will need three new starters to step up in 2016. The offensive

line could be the most important aspect of whether Mahomes can improve next season.

Mahomes also will not have the all-time leading receiver Jakeem Grant. Outside of Grant, there was not a consistent receiver throughout 2015.

While there are many options for a new top receiver, it is not clear which player will emerge.

Ian Sadler will be entering his junior season and is a candidate to grab the top receiver title. Sadler burst onto the scene halfway through his freshman season and then nearly doubled his production as a sophomore.

Senior wide receiver Dylan Cantrell has a history with Mahomes as they played with each other in high school, but Cantrell missed all of last season with a back injury. Cantrell has a huge opportunity to rebound in 2016 if he can be a consistent outside target.

The final prime candidate for the top receiver is junior college transfer Derrick Willies. Willies has been on campus this spring and recently made headlines with a box jump video.

Willies has the height, at six feet three inches, which the outside receivers desperately need. He also stood out in the Midland scrimmage with two highlight catches.

Kingsbury said Willies expects himself to step in and be a 100-catch receiver right away.

One or more of the receivers need to emerge for Mahomes.

The final question mark around Mahomes is the running back position.

Washington is gone after back-to-back 1,000-yard rushing seasons. Junior running back Justin Stockton is the frontrunner to grab the starting role.

Stockton has used his elite level speed to average 7.0 yards per rush in his first two years, but he has never

been the lead back or rushed the ball 15 or more times a game like Washington.

Sophomore Demarcus Felton and redshirt freshman Corey Dauphine will be battling to get the remainder of the other carries.

I am not sure whether it is possible for Mahomes to have a more productive season, statistically speaking, in 2016 because the numbers were so good in 2015. But, Mahomes will have a better season.

Mahomes will find a way to produce massive numbers

while greatly improving in one area: interceptions.

As a sophomore, Mahomes led the Big 12 Conference with 15 interceptions.

He will cut down on that number as a junior because he has focused only on football this offseason.

W h i l e M a h o m e s ’ t otal yards or touchdowns could slightly drop, he will have a more efficient 2016 season and will be a true Heisman candidate. @JeremyK_DT

Goldschmidt homers to help D-backs beat Dodgers 4-2 LOS ANGELES (AP) — Paul Goldschmidt is finding his stroke early in the season, something he always seems to do against the Dodgers.

Goldschmidt hit a goahead homer in the eighth inning and drove in another run, and the Arizona Diamondbacks won 4-2 Tuesday, spoiling the Dodgers’ home opener in Vin Scully’s final season.

Goldschmidt gave the D-backs a 2-1 lead with his second homer of the season off Chris Hatcher (1-1). Goldschmidt homered for the second straight game and has done so in four of his last five against the Dodgers dating to last season.

“It was a nice come-frombehind win, especially against these guys,” Goldschmidt said. “Hopefully, we’ll be battling them the whole year with the rest of the division.

It’s a tough division, so these guys mean a little bit extra because you’re trying to get that playoff spot.”

Ahead 3-0 in the count, Arizona manager Chip Hale gave Goldschmidt the hit sign.

“It’s one of the things I always tried to instill in my guys, to be comfortable hitting 3-0,” Hale said. “He got a pitch to hit, and you trust him. When you trust a guy, that’s when you give him the 3-0 hit sign.”

Arizona added two more runs in the ninth on Socrates Brito’s triple and Goldschmidt’s groundout to shortstop.

After Goldschmidt’s homer, Hatcher gave up a two-out double to Welington Castillo before issuing consecutive walks to Jake Lamb (intentional) and Yasmany Tomas that loaded the bases. Hatcher departed to boos.

“I deserve it. Right now I’m not making good pitches,” Hatcher said. “The roller coaster has to stop and we got to put up some zeros.”

Kenta Maeda allowed five hits over six scoreless innings, struck out four and walked one in becoming the first Japanese pitcher to

start a Dodgers home opener since Hideo Nomo in 1996 and 2004. Except for the walk, his line was identical to that of his 7-0 win last week at San Diego in his major league debut.

“Maybe the only good thing we did off of him was that we kind of pitch-counted him, so his pitch count got deep,” Hale said. “They had to go to the bullpen, which is a good bullpen, but we’ve had some history against those guys. And now we have a little history against Maeda.”

Tyler Clippard (2-0) gave up one hit in one inning and striking out one. Brad Ziegler pitched the ninth to earn his first save.

Hardy, Trumbo homer to keep Orioles perfect, beat Red Sox BOSTON (AP) — J.J. Hardy had a pair of two-run home runs, Mark Trumbo added another and the Baltimore Orioles pounded the Boston Red Sox 9-5 on Tuesday night to win their seventh straight game to begin the season.

Trumbo’s homer off Clay Buchholz (0-1) was his second in two days. It was part of a three-run sixth inning that put the Orioles in front.

Hardy curled Buchholz’s

fastball inside the right field foul pole for his first homer in the fourth, then got his second off Robbie Ross in the seventh.

Buchholz went five innings — one more than in his season debut — but allowed five earned runs for the second time in a row.

Mike Wright (1-0) made his season debut after having it delayed by a rainout. He went five innings, gave up four runs and struck out four.

Boston started fast, taking a 2-0 lead on David Or-

tiz’s third home run of the season in the first.

The Orioles have scored nine runs in each of the last two games.

It was the 12th career multihomer game for Hardy and his first since 2014.

Trumbo now has two home runs and five RBIs through two games of the three-game series, which concludes Wednesday night.

Orioles: Manager Buck Showalter said that LHP

Brian Matusz, currently on the 15-day disabled list with a back strain, will pitch at least one more time for the Orioles’ Class A Frederick affiliate beginning Friday.

Showalter said an outing Monday night for Matusz in Frederick “didn’t go too well for him.” Righthander Kevin Gausman (shoulder) is also rehabbing while on the 15-day DL. Outfielder Adam Jones missed his fifth straight start with ribcage soreness.

Tech looking like contender

By DIEGO GAYTAN Staff Writer

Baseball lends itself to records and milestones.

For the Texas Tech baseball team, its series sweep over a then-ranked No. 16 Oklahoma State reaped a multitude of new landmark figures and showed promise for a possible NCAA tournament appearance.

The sweep over Oklahoma State secured a first place spot in the Big 12, and with an 11-1 start against conference opponents, this season’s Red Raiders secured their best conference start in school history, according to a Tech Athletics release.

Tech coach Tim Tadlock said the team’s current success simply comes down to playing good baseball.

“I think they’re bringing something to the table each and every day, and what I mean by that is in work ethic,” Tadlock said.

“They’re understanding that a little bit each day goes a long way, and you’re not going to be perfect, but

we dang sure try to play at a high level.”

Prior to gaining its 11th win in 12 games, the Red Raiders best start in a 12game span dated back to 1997 during the tenure of Larry Hays and Tech’s first season in the Big 12 as it compiled a 9-3 record to begin conference play.

Te c h n e a r e d t h e 9 - 3 mark before this season during the 1995 season, where it won eight of 12 and both the 1998 and 2015 season where it won seven.

Aside from the 2015 season, Tech reached a regional appearance in the seasons it captured eight or more wins in the first dozen conference contests.

Its 11-1 start to the season drove up the Red Raiders overall record to 24-9, enough to move Tech up in four national polls and to the top 25 in the USA Today Coaches and NCBWA polls.

Against opponents above the .500 mark, Tech has gone 17-5.

Senior first baseman Eric Gutierrez said the team has brought together

experience and growth t o t h i s y e a r ’s s e a s o n , along with a loose team atmosphere that has transferred over in the game’s two biggest aspects.

“It could be No. 1 in the country or the last team in the country, it doesn’t matter,” Gutierrez said. “We’re going to out there and have fun and pick each other up no matter what.”

At the plate, Tech’s batters combine for a .303 average, and three pitchers have at least 10 appearances, ranking in the top 10 of the conference, according to a Big 12 release.

Scouting its last stretch of games, the Red Raiders case for a postseason appearance strengthens by the outlook of the opponents it has left to face.

Of the 22 games remaining in the season, Tech plays an even 11 against teams below .500 and another 11 against teams above .500, with West Virginia and TCU left as the only two Big 12 teams in its schedule currently with more wins than losses.

Texas Tech infielder Orlando Garcia fields a ground ball during the Red Raiders’ game against Kansas State on April 3. Tech will play a doubleheader today, which begins a five-game homestand.

While the schedule appears favorable for the Red Raiders, their starting pitching and batting numbers further mold the team into vying for a run past the Big 12 tournament.

Despite the strong start, Tadlock said room still remains for the Red Raiders

to fill.

“We’re separating balls and strikes, we run the bases good, we’re pitching and playing decent defense,” Tadlock said. “When I say pitching, we’re pitching at times and playing defense at times. It’s not perfect, but we’re trying to continue

to get there.”

Tadlock and the rest of the team may place their focus on the games immediately in front of them, but a bit past the midway point of the season, Tech may see itself searching for wins in the postseason. @DGaytanDT

Davis gains another accolade after seven-RBI day Texas Tech Sophomore infielder Michael Davis received the National Hitter of the Week recognition from the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association on Tuesday.

According to a Tech Ath-

letic release, Davis, who also received the Big 12 Player of the Week honor on Monday, is the eighth Tech player in school history to be honored with the National Hitter or Pitcher of the Week award.

Davis led the Big 12 Conference with 11 RBIs last week. According to the release, seven of those RBIs came from Sunday’s 15-5 win over Oklahoma State.

According to the release, these seven RBIs

were the most by any Big 12 player in a conference game this season. Davis was also the first Tech player since Gera Alvarez in 2002 to have seven RBIs in a conference game.

Davis helped with the

sweep of Oklahoma State and led Tech to the best start to Big 12 play in school history at 11-1. According to the release, this was the first sweep against a ranked opponent since 2002 and their first in a

road series facing a top 25 Big 12 team.

Ranked at No. 10, Tech will face Sam Houston State in a doubleheader starting at 2 p.m. on Wednesday at Rip Griffin Park. @DavidGayDT

Police: Loaded gun found in slain ex-Saint Will Smith’s SUV NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Police found a fully loaded gun inside the vehicle former New Orleans Saints star Will Smith was driving the night he was shot, but there was no evidence that it had been fired, police said Tuesday.

In a statement, police shed new light on the shocking death of the New Orleans football legend who was shot and killed Saturday night. Police have said that Smith and his wife were shot by Cardell Hayes after a traffic altercation.

Among the other news released in the statement: Hayes told police on the scene that he was the shooter, police also found a loaded revolver inside Hayes’ vehicle and Smith had two other passengers in his vehicle Saturday night in addition to his wife, although neither was wounded.

Authorities said there was no evidence to suggest either weapon found during a search of the vehicles Tuesday morning was fired during the shooting and that the gun

in Smith’s vehicle was fully loaded. Police did not say whether the .9 mm handgun belonged to Smith or someone else in the vehicle.

Instead, police said Hayes shot Smith with a different handgun.

“During the argument, Hayes produced a .45 caliber handgun and opened fire, striking Smith and his wife. No one else was injured in the gunfire,” police said in the statement.

Smith’s wife was shot in the leg but survived and was

taken to the hospital.

“Hayes was on the scene when officers arrived and identified himself as the shooter. Detectives detained and questioned Hayes.

Based on the interview and evidence gathered from the scene, detectives arrested Hayes and booked him with Second Degree Murder. An additional charge for Smith’s wife’s injury is pending further investigation,” the statement read.

Police earlier had said they confiscated a weapon

Hummer driven by Hayes.

The impact caused Smith to hit a grey Chevrolet Impala in which two friends of Smith were driving. No one was injured in the Impala.

At some point, Hayes — who himself played defense in a semi-pro football league — and Smith exchanged words, and that’s when police say Hayes pulled out a gun and opened fire, hitting Smith and his wife. Smith died with his door open, slumped over the driver’s seat.
