Facing a test of the team’s fortitude in Lubbock, the No. 24 Texas Longhorns won the series finale against the No. 17 Texas Tech Red Raiders 9-7 on Sunday at Dan Law Field at Rip Griffin Park thanks to 15 hits, six of which went for extra bases, and a big relief performance by right-hander Gage Boehm.
Boehm pitched the final four innings for the Longhorns, rescuing a sketchy bullpen forced to record 24 outs, and earned his second save by allowing one run on two hits with three strikeouts, although he did hit two batters in the seventh inning when he had to escape a jam that stranded two runners.
