Despite playing in front of the largest recorded regular season crowd in history (7,879), the No. 12 Texas Longhorns (14-7, 1-1) fell short to the No. 11 Texas Tech Red Raiders (12-4, 1-1) by the score of 3-0. The loss evens the series and puts pressure on both teams to win as it has massive postseason implications.
Starting pitcher Blair Henley continued his momentum from his last start against Stanford, and managed to keep Texas Tech scoreless through seven innings. Tough to do against one of the best lineups in the country. Henley’s fastball, changeup, slider, and curve were all working for the junior today as Tech’s hitters were consistently off balance.
