Texas Tech’s baseball campaign came to a close on Wednesday as the Red Raiders fell 18-8 to Brigham Young in the Big 12 Tournament.
A Late Surge
The Red Raiders had taken an early lead, up 5-1 in the third inning, thanks to timely hits from Tracer Lopez, Logan Hughes and Matt Quintanar.
But the Cougars answered with a 17-run stretch that forced the game into the seventh inning, where the run-rule ended the contest.
Pitchers Logan Bevis and Jacob Rodgers combined to surrender seven runs in that pivotal sixth frame, shifting momentum decisively.
Easton Jones capped the rally with a two-run homer that sealed the outcome.
The loss dropped Texas Tech to a .500 record for the season and marked their second straight year of finishing below .500.
