Texas Tech clobbers West Virginia 10-3 to force follow-up game

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla.— Josh Jung and Cameron Warren homered, and No. 10 Texas Tech finally figured out No. 19 West Virginia’s pitching during a 10-3 win at the Big 12 tournament on Saturday.

The Red Raiders (39-16) staved off elimination and forced a rematch to be played Saturday night, with the survivor advancing to the championship round.

The Mountaineers (36-19), competing to host an NCAA regional, saw their six-game winning streak snapped and burned two starting pitchers who combined for 10 walks and three hit batters.

The conference’s top offensive team, Texas Tech had scored a combined seven runs in the previous four meetings.
