Texas Tech baseball head coach Tim Tadlock often puts his team through the type of schedule that only a glutton for punishment would consider worthwhile. This week, that trend continued and it resulted in the season’s first losing streak as the No. 2 Red Raiders were swept by No. 10 Mississippi State in Biloxi, Mississippi.
Tech fell in the opener Tuesday night 6-3 before losing Wednesday’s contest 3-2. Those defeats dropped the Red Raiders to 16-3 on the season and snapped the team’s 12-game winning streak.
Tech came into the week as arguably the best offensive team in the country but managed only five combined runs and eight total hits in the two games while failing to hit a home run.
