ll season, coach Tim Tadlock preached one thing to his team – be where your feet are. They took that mentality to heart. And now, after a winnertake-all-game, the Texas Tech baseball team is landing in Omaha. The trip to the College World Series is the third in program history, all of which have come under the reigns of Tadlock. “What I’m really excited about, is there’s a good part of the country that gonna get to see these guys play,” Tadlock said. “They deserve that.” The win keeps Tech undefeated in super regional action, having advanced to the College World Series in both the
2014 and ’16 season. Tadlock said both of those teams were something special, and this year’s squad has the potential to reach that level as well. “Those guys were really special,” Tadlock said. “I don’t think this team’s there, by the way, without those two teams.” Tech entered the postseason as the No. 9 national seed after posting a 38-15 regular season record and only winning one game in the Phillips 66 Big 12 Championship. Thus far, the Red Raiders have only lost one game. They swept the Lubbock Regional, defeating New Mexico State and Louisville to earn a spot in the championship game. They defeated the Cardinals again to move on to the Super Regionals.
