Tim Tadlock’s Texas Tech baseball is nothing if not resilient. That’s because in all five of their victories this year, the Red Raiders have had to overcome multiple-run deficits. Saturday, Tech overcame a a three-run deficit to take game-two of its three-game series with Kentucky 10-7 on another windy day in Lubbock.
And just like in Tech’s 7-4 win in Friday’s series-opener, it was a 6-run inning that propelled the Red Raiders to victory. Trailing 5-2 in the bottom of the fifth, Tech sent eleven hitters to the plate scoring six runs on five hits. Friday, it was a six-run sixth inning that propelled the home team to a win.
