The thought
Going into the 2014 baseball season, nobody really knew what to expect. It was Tim Tadlock’s second season and the Red Raiders had not been truly competitive in baseball in years. At the start of the season, most fans would have been happy to finish in the top half if the Big 12 and maybe make the playoffs. A College World Series birth seemed like a pipe dream despite Tadlock’s promise the previous year to take Texas Tech to the CWS by his second year.
The Red Raiders opened the season with a four game series against the #3 ranked Indiana Hoosiers.
