Texas Tech baseball: Red Raiders hold off UCONN in NCAA Tournament
In a matchup of two teams that might soon become conference rivals, the Texas Tech baseball team held off UCONN 3-2 on Friday to open the Gainesville, Florida regional in the NCAA Tournament.
The star of the day was Red Raider starter Mason Molina, who has a history of performing well in the postseason. Tossing 6+ innings, the lefty struck out 10 hitters and not giving up a hit until the 5th inning. Though he tired in the sixth on a hot day in central Florida giving up a pair of walks that would come around to score, this was by far Molina’s best outing of the year given the importance of opening the regional with a win.
