LUBBOCK, TX — It was a wild one right out of the gate Friday night, as a pair of top ten teams met in a battle for control of the Big 12 Conference.
In front of a near capacity crowd at Rip Griffin Park, the Horned Frogs dealt blow after blow early and held on late for a 7-3 victory in the series opener against the Red Raiders.
Things began inauspiciously enough, as Elijah Nunez grounded out against Micah Dallas to start the game. It got ugly from there. Luke Boyers, back in the starting lineup for the second time since injuring himself in the Baylor series, worked a four pitch walk, and Brayden Taylor earned a free base as well.
