Though the Texas Tech baseball team advanced further in this year’s Big 12 Tournament than any Red Raider team since 2000, the program’s streak since winning its only conference tournament title in 1998 is now at 21 seasons. After beating West Virginia 10-3 Saturday afternoon to force a winner-take-all rematch Saturday night, the Red Raiders were shut out by the Mountaineers 2-0 ending their time in Oklahoma City one win shy of reaching the championship game.
In the nightcap, two West Virginia freshmen pitchers combined to limit the Big 12’s most prolific offense to just one hit while striking out seven.
