In all four of the Texas Tech baseball team’s games this season, the Red Raiders have fallen into an early hole. Fortunately, in three of those games, the offense has been able to rally as was the case in Friday’s 7-4 win over Kentucky in Lubbock.
The Wildcats plated the first two runs of the game in the top of the second off of Red Raider starter Erikson Lanning. However, both runs were unearned as both scored on an error by second baseman Brian Klein. This is a continuation of a disturbing early-season trend of defensive lapses leading to unearned runs given up by Tim Tadlock’s team.
