Hello and welcome to the Regional Edition of First Pitch! In this installment, I will be diving into the Lubbock Regional and what the Red Raiders need to do to win and move on to the Super Regional round of the NCAA tournament. Without further ado, let’s dive in!
Experience favors the Red Raiders
Remember that really tough non-conference schedule? This actually turned into a blessing in disguise as two of the Red Raider’s non-conference opponents, Louisville and New Mexico State are playing in this regional and the Red Raiders even get to open up against New Mexico State, a team they defeated two times and even shut out 12-0 during the first week of the season.
