After the bad news pitcher Steven Gingery will miss the remainder of the season with a torn UCL, the Red Raiders took the field on Tuesday to face New Mexico State. It was the first of a four-game series that will be played always on this weekday, with game two scheduled in Lubbock, game three in Las Cruces (NM), and game four in Midland (TX).
Texas Tech delivered a solid performance both offensively, scoring 12 runs with a six-run fifth inning and a five-run eighth inning, and on the mound, as four pitchers only allowed total four hits over the entire game.
