Coming off of a weekend where Texas Tech outscored an inferior Merrimack squad 70-12, the Red Raiders squared off against the reigning national champion Mississippi State in a mid-week two game series in Biloxi, MS. In what is officially said to be a neutral series, the ballpark of the Double-A affiliate of the Milwaukee Brewers was 99% pro-state and the weather was abysmal on day two, and Tech overcame some day one setbacks to even the series with a win in game two.
On Tuesday, Tech started strong, but the fourth inning was a haunting one for the Red Raiders, as the pitching couldn’t buy a strike and any breaks in the field seemed to go the way of the Bulldogs, as they hung a whopping nine runs in the frame.
