COLUMBIA AT A GLANCE The Lions tied for the Ivy League regular season title with a 15-5 league record and captured the Ivy League postseason tournament title to earn its second straight appearance in the NCAA Tournament and fourth all-time postseason berth. A roster that features 18 underclassmen and only five seniors, Columbia went 29-18 overall on the season while entering the NCAA Tournament having won 21 of its last 24 games dating back to Apr. 5. The Lions made a trek through Texas earlier this season taking on UTSA (1-3), Texas A&M (0-1), UT Arlington (0-1) and Texas (0-3) on the road from Mar. 14-27. Columbia is 11-3 at home this season and 18-15 on the road. Columbia is batting .265 with 20 home runs and 64-of-80 stolen bases, fielded .975 having turned 30 double plays while its pitching staff has led the way with a 3.35 ERA, seven complete games, nine shutouts and 12 saves with 339 strikeouts to only 148 walks. The Lions top pitcher has been senior left-handed pitcher David Speer who is 7-2 with a 1.86 ERA in 12 starts with six complete games, four shutouts, 87.0 innings pitched, 75 strikeouts and seven walks. In Ivy League play, Speer went 4-0 with a 1.06 ERA, four complete games and posted 32 strikeout to just one walk allowed. Columbia’s top hitter has been second baseman Will Savage who is batting .338 (49-for-145) with eight doubles, a triple, home run and 14 RBI. The Lions top power threat is right fielder Gus Craig batting .276 (42-for-152) with nine doubles, three triples and six home runs with 25 RBI. BACK IN THE NCAA TOURNAMENT The Texas Tech baseball program is back in the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2004 while snapping a decade-long drought of postseason baseball. Tech was a perennial college baseball powerhouse during the mid-1990’s and early 2000’s where the program made every NCAA Tournament from 1995-2002 and again in 2004. Then Tech suffered four losing seasons and only three 30-wins campaigns from 2005-2013 while missing out on the NCAA Tournament for nine straight years. TADLOCK TURNS AROUND TECH BASEBALL PROGRAM IN SECOND YEAR Tim Tadlock inherited the Texas Tech baseball program following the 2012 season when the Red Raiders went 29-26 overall and finished in a tie for last in the Big 12 with a 7-17 record. Only nine players off that 2012 team remained and in just two seasons Tadlock has guided Tech to a 40-win season and the program’s first appearance at the NCAA Tournament since 2004. Tadlock becomes just the second coach in school history to lead the Red Raiders to the postseason while former coach Larry Hays led Tech to nine tournament appearances in 1995-2002 and 2004. RED RAIDERS PLAYED 23 GAMES AGAINST NINE NCAA TOURNAMENT PROGRAMS Tech finished the regular season with a strength of schedule ranked 16th in the nation. Tech faced nine opponents that reached the NCAA Tournament while the Red Raiders went 10-13 in 23 games against programs that made the postseason. Tech played against four No. 1 seed/regional hosts (7-5), three No. 2 seeds (3-4) and two No. 3 seeds (0-4). TEXAS TECH BRINGS HIGH-POWERED OFFENSE INTO CORAL GABLES REGIONAL Texas Tech enters the NCAA Tournament leading the Big 12 Conference in several offensive categories, including batting average (.294), slugging percentage (.422), runs scored (371), doubles (117), triples (23) and RBI (335). In addition, Tech has featured one of the top defenses in the country with a league-best 61 double plays and .980 fielding percentage. TEXAS TECH BULLPEN AMONG THE BEST IN THE COUNTRY The Texas Tech bullpen is a big reason why the Red Raiders have had a successful season as 14 pitchers have contributed to a bullpen with a 24-5 record, 3.30 ERA, 13 saves, 207 strikeouts and 90 walks allowed. Tech is one of just three programs in the country with eight pitchers having recorded at least one save (Drozd - 3, Moseley - 3, Moreno - 2, Tripp - 1, Taylor - 1, Smith - 1, Brown - 1, Damron - 1), joining Florida and UL-Lafayette. Tech’s bullpen has led the way to a 32-2 record when leading after six innings, 31-1 record when leading after seven innings and a 32-1 record when leading after eight innings. SIX RED RAIDERS NAMED ALL-BIG 12 - KIRSCH RECEIVES NEWCOMER OF THE YEAR Six Red Raiders received All-Big 12 recognition - the most by the program since 2001 - while senior designated hitter Adam Kirsch became the program’s second player to receive Big 12 Newcomer of the Year. Tech’s three first-team selections are its most since 2004 as Kirsch (DH), junior Tim Proudfoot (INF) and sophomore Eric Gutierrez (INF) all received first team. Tech had three players named to the second team with junior left-handed pitcher Chris Sadberry, junior catcher Hunter Redman and sophomore outfielder Tyler Neslony receiving recognition. In addition, outfielder Stephen Smith was named to the Big 12 All-Freshman Team. Tech had three players receive All-Big 12 honorable mention as senior left-handed pitcher Jonny Drozd, junior second baseman Bryant Burleson and junior left-handed pitcher Cameron Smith were named to the list.

HEAD COACH TIM TADLOCK The Tim Tadlock head coaching era at Texas Tech began in 2013 with a 26-30 overall record and with a 9-15 record in Big 12 play with an eighth-place finish in the league while advancing to the Big 12 Championship. Tadlock was named head coach of the Texas Tech baseball program on June 8, 2012, becoming the ninth head coach in program history. Tadlock will enter his 22nd year in collegiate baseball in 2014, which will mark his second as head coach at Texas Tech. Regarded as one of the top recruiters in the country, Tadlock has already started making his mark as the head coach of the Red Raiders in the Big 12 Conference. In his first season the Red Raiders broke all-time school records for fielding percentage (.974) and double plays turned in a season (68). His program knocked off five nationally-ranked opponents, including the defending national champion Arizona Wildcats in Tucson. In fact, Tadlock led the Red Raiders to three consecutive wins over ranked opponents – a first by the Texas Tech program in 11 years. During his first season, the Red Raiders fielded the youngest team in the country with a nation-leading 22 newcomers. Tadlock and his coaching staff developed their young roster throughout the season while the Red Raiders won eight of their final 14 games of the season advancing to Oklahoma City for the Big 12 Championship. The Red Raiders won their Big 12 Conference series opener in 2013 taking two of three games over Texas in Austin. It marked the first time Tech had won a series over the Longhorns in Austin since 2001 and was Tech’s first series win over Texas since 2002. Tech had two Freshmen All-Americans (1B Eric Gutierrez, C/DH Jarrard Poteete) during Tadlock’s first season along with four All-Big 12 selections (one All-Freshman team pick), four Academic All-Big 12 picks and three Major League Baseball Draft picks, including fifth rounder right-handed pitcher Trey Masek. Tadlock’s ability to recruit top-notch players in the state of Texas and throughout the country – both at the high school and junior college levels – became apparent quickly in his time at Tech while in just his seventh month on the job with his first-full season recruiting class ranked 24th in the nation by Perfect Game. Tadlock returned to his alma mater for the 2012 season as the program’s associate head coach and recruiting coordinator following six successful seasons as an assistant coach/recruiting coordinator at Oklahoma. During his one season at Tech as the associate head coach/recruiting coordinator, the Red Raiders had a school-record nine MLB Draft picks, including first-round selection center fielder Barrett Barnes, who became the third highest draft pick in school history with the 45th overall pick. The nine MLB Draft picks in 2012 ranked second in the nation only behind Arizona State’s 10 draft selections. The nine draft picks marked the fifth most in Big 12 history. Tadlock has coached 118 MLB Draft picks – including 16 players who have advanced to the big leagues. He has mentored at least one draft pick during the last 19 seasons and has coached three first-round selections, 11 players taken in the top five rounds and 24 selections in the top-10 rounds of the draft during his coaching career. Tadlock’s players have heard their names called a lot recently in the MLB Draft with 42 selections over the last four years (2010-13). Six years during his coaching career Tadlock has had at least nine players taken in the draft. Tadlock produced several of the nation’s top recruiting classes while an––– assistant coach at Oklahoma, helping lead the Sooners back to the College World Series in 2010, the Sooners first trip to Omaha since 1995. It didn’t take Tadlock long to make his mark on the recruiting trail at Oklahoma, as his 2006 recruiting class ranked fourth nationally by Collegiate Baseball Newspaper. The No. 4 ranking was the best for the Sooners since 1987. Tadlock also had top-25 nationally ranked recruiting classes by Baseball America in 2006 (11th), 2009 (16th), 2010 (21st) and 2012 (13th). In addition, OU’s 2012 recruiting class received a No. 4 ranking by Collegiate Baseball Newspaper. During his time at Oklahoma (2006-2011), the Sooners made five trips to the NCAA Tournament with two Super Regional appearances in 2006 and 2010 while making it back to the College World Series in Omaha in 2010. It marked OU’s first time to make five post-season appearances in a six year span since 1987-1992. The Sooners had unparalleled success at the plate under Tadlock’s guidance. Oklahoma batted over .300 during all six of his seasons – first time for OU since 1995-2000 – and his 2009 and 2010 clubs combined for 195 home runs, the most ever at Oklahoma in consecutive seasons while leading the Big 12 in homers both years. The Sooners 104 home runs in 2010 rank second all-time in Oklahoma history. In 2011, Tadlock coached 11 players at OU who were selected in the MLB Draft, a total that matched the all-time Big 12 record (Texas, 2007). After beginning his coaching career as an assistant at Hill College (1993-96) for four seasons, Tadlock became the head coach at Grayson County Junior College, where he led the Vikings to back-to-back National Junior College Athletic Association World Series titles (1999-00). During his nine seasons at Grayson, Tadlock posted a 435-127 (.774) overall record while being named National Coach of the Year following both title runs (1999-2000) He led the Vikings to five Region V championships which culminated in five trips to the JUCO World Series. Tadlock coached eight players at Grayson County that earned All-America honors. The Red Raiders have benefited from six players that transferred to Tech from Tadlock’s program at Grayson. Included in those student-athletes are Texas Tech All-American shortstop Cameron Blair (2004-05) and former Major League catcher Trey Lunsford (1999-00). During his nine-year tenure at Grayson (1997-2005), Tadlock recorded the highest winning percentage of any collegiate baseball coach, including all two and four-year institutions, with a .774 winning percentage. While at Grayson, Tadlock also served as the school’s director of athletics, a position he held during his final five years at the junior-college level. After a prep career at Denton High School and two years at Hill College, Tadlock was a two-year starting shortstop for the Red Raiders while helping Texas Tech to its first-ever 40-win season as a senior in 1991 (42-18). In his two-year career at Tech, Tadlock played in 120 games, batted .289 (120-for-415) with 96 runs scored, 19 doubles, four triples, eight home runs, 68 RBI, 71 walks, 65 strikeouts and was 28-of-41 in stolen bases. Tadlock played for legendary coach Larry Hays while at Texas Tech. Tadlock graduated with his bachelor’s degree in physical education from Texas Tech in May 1992. He also earned a master’s degree in education in August 1994 from the University of Texas at Tyler. Tadlock and his wife, Kelly, have two children, daughter, Chloe (12 – April 10), and son, Benjamin (10 – Aug. 4). Tadlock is originally from Denton, Texas and was born December 21, 1968.

SADBERRY WILL BECOME FOURTH RED RAIDER TO START BACK-TO-BACK GAMES FOR TECH SINCE 2007 Texas Tech junior LHP Chris Sadberry will get the start for Tech in the NCAA Tournament opening game at the Coral Gables Regional against third-seeded Columbia on Friday, May 30. Sadberry will be Tech’s starting pitcher in back-to-back games as he also started against Oklahoma in Tech’s final game at the Big 12 Championship (5/22). His starts will be separated by eight days, but will become the first Red Raider this season to start in consecutive games. The last time it happened was last season when RHP Matt Withrow started Tech’s midweek game (vs. Dallas Baptist - May 7) before spring semester final exams and then started for Tech eight days later in the Red Raiders final midweek game of the season at No. 13 Arizona State (May 13). Sadberry’s consecutive starts for Tech marks just the fourth time it has happened since 2007 as sophomore right-handed pitcher A.J. Ramos (2007) and junior left-handed pitcher Ben Flora (2011) also accomplished the feat. NESLONY CARRIES LONGEST HIT STREAK BY A RED RAIDER IN A DECADE Sophomore outfielder Tyler Neslony has been one of the top hitters in the Big 12 all season and now with the NCAA Tournament on the horizon he brings in the longest hit streak by a Red Raider since 2004 (Cameron Blair - 20 games) - also the last time Tech played in the NCAA Tournament. Neslony extended his hit streak to 18 games going 4-for-5 in the Red Raiders final game at the Big 12 Championship against Oklahoma (5/22). Neslony, who has also reached base safely in 30 straight games, is currently batting .435 (30-for-69) during the hit streak with 12 runs, six doubles, two triples, two home runs, 14 RBI, 10 walks and a .512 on-base percentage. Cameron Blair - who head coach Tim Tadlock coached in junior college at Grayson County before he transferred to Tech - batted .432 (35-for-810 during his 20-game streak in 2004 with 24 runs, seven doubles, five home runs, 30 RBI, .515 on-base percentage and .704 slugging percentage. NESLONY ENTERS SCHOOL RECORD BOOK IN BIG 12 CHAMPIONSHIP Neslony became just the sixth player in Texas Tech history to record four base hits during a Big 12 Championship game while going 4-for-5 against Oklahoma (5/22) in the Red Raiders final game at the tournament in Bricktown Ballpark. Neslony is the first Red Raider to accomplish the feat since 2011 when senior Nick Popescu went 4-for-5 against No. 13 Texas A&M during a 10-5 loss in an elimination game. KIRSCH JOINS EXCLUSIVE COMPANY EARNING CONFERENCE HONOR Senior Adam Kirsch might just be in his first and also last season as a Red Raider but his impact at the plate made others around the league take notice while batting .300 (60-for-200) with 36 runs, a conference-leading 19 doubles, two triples, nine home runs and 48 RBI. Kirsch was voted by league head coaches as the Big 12 Newcomer of the Year, becoming just the second Red Raider in school history to earn the honor. The only other Tech player to receive the award was Keith Ginter who helped lead Tech to the regular season Big 12 championship in 1997 - the first year of the Big 12. Ginter, who played two years at Tech before being selected in the 10th round of the MLB Draft in 1998 by the Houston Astros, batted .426 with 106 base hits, 97 runs scored, 24 doubles, 17 home runs and 77 RBI while earning first team All-America honors in 1997. SCORING EARLY AND OFTEN DURING FIRST NCAA TOUNAMENT GAME In 1995 the Texas Tech Red Raiders made their first appearance in the NCAA Tournament, and if you were there to see the first inning you would have known Tech was ready. Tech scored eight runs in the first inning of its first NCAA Tournament game against Providence on May 27, 1995 in Wichita and ended up defeating the Friars 24-5 in its first of five games at the Midwest I Regional. Tech also posted a 10-run eighth inning in the 19-run victory. In 33 all-time NCAA Tournament games, that run total (24 runs) remains a school record for the Red Raiders.

FROM SOUTH BEACH TO THE SOUTH PLAINS Texas Tech University’s current director of athletics, Kirby Hocutt, came to the South Plains after serving in the same position at Miami (Fla.) from 2008-2011. Hocutt was hired at Tech in March of 2011. During his time at Miami, the Hurricanes renovated its current ballpark - Alex Rodriguez Park - Mark Light Field - while improving numerous other athletics facilities. In addition, Miami (Fla.) recorded an all-time best 86 percent graduation rate among its student-athletes during Hocutt’s tenure. TEXAS TECH RANKED FOR 15 CONSECUTIVE WEEKS Texas Tech received its 15th consecutive national ranking on Monday when the Red Raiders were ranked 23rd by both the USA Today Coaches’ poll and by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers’ Association. DUSEK BECOMES FIRST RED RAIDER TO MAKE 10 HOME STARTS IN A SEASON SINCE 2003 Texas Tech freshman LHP Dylan Dusek made his 10th home start in the final game of the regular season against West Virginia during Tech’s 4-0 shutout to secure its sixth series sweep (3rd Big 12). Dusek became the first Red Raider to make 10 home starts in a season since 2003 (Steve Gooch). Since 2001, only two Red Raider prior to Dusek have made 10 home starts in a season. 2014 - LHP Dylan Dusek (10 Home Starts): 5-0, 2.57 ERA, 10 APP, 10 GS, 51.0 IP, 47 H, 14 ER, 9 BB, 27 SO, .257 OPP BA 2003 - RHP Steve Gooch (10 Home Starts): 4-2, 3.97 ERA, 10 APP, 10 GS, 68.0 IP, 81 H, 30 ER, 18 BB, 37 SO, .293 OPP BA 2002 - RHP Nathan Fouts (10 Home Starts): 7-2, 3.16 ERA, 10 APP, 10 GS, 62.2 IP, 53 H, 22 ER, 24 BB, 53 SO, .228 OPP BA TADLOCK AT FRONT OF THE PACK FOR BEST TURNAROUNDS IN BIG 12 AMONG ACTIVE COACHES Texas Tech head coach Tim Tadlock has made a drastic turnaround for the Red Raiders from his first season to his second as head coach of the Tech program. During his first season the Red Raiders went 26-30 in 2013 and through 56 games this season Tech is 40-18 which gives the Red Raiders a +14 turnaround from season one to year two. Among active Big 12 head coaches and during the Big 12 era (since 1997) Tadlock’s +14 margin is the best in the league - and it’s not even close. Below is a look at active head coaches in the Big 12 era and their margin of wins from year one to year two.

In 11 seasons, Tadlock is 501-175 overall, which is an average of 45.5 wins per season. GUTIERREZ BECOMES FIRST RED RAIDER TO HIT ROAD MIDWEEK GRAND SLAM SINCE 2000 (CHAZ EIGUREN) Red Raider sophomore Eric Gutierrez hit his 11th and 12th home runs of the season in Tech’s 18-3 victory over Dallas Baptist on the road on May 6. Gutierrez blasted his first career grand slam while becoming the first Red Raider to hit a grand slam on the road since 2009 (Garrett Totten - at Baylor) and the first Tech player to hit a grand slam during a midweek road game since 2000 (Chaz Eiguren - at New Mexico). Gutierrez finished the game at DBU going 2-for-4 with two homers and six RBI. PROUDFOOT/BURLESON JOIN EXCLUSIVE GROUP OF TECH DEFENDERS DURING LAST 13 YEARS Prior to this season, only three Red Raiders had recorded 400 career assists during the last 13 seasons (2001-2014). This season both of Tech’s junior middle infielders - shortstop Tim Proudfoot and second baseman Bryant Burleson - have joined this exclusive group. Below is a look at the Red Raider infielders who have posted 400 career assists during the last 13 seasons. Proudfoot and Burleson reached 400 career assists within a week of one another.

2014 Texas Tech Baseball GAME NOTES TECH WINS SERIES OVER DEFENDING BIG 12 CHAMPION IN BACK-TO-BACK SEASONS For the second straight season, Tim Tadlock and the Red Raiders have won a conference series over the defending Big 12 Conference regular season champion. Last season, during Tadlock’s first year as head coach, the Red Raiders took 2-of-3 games from Baylor (2012 regular season champs) in Lubbock. This season, Tech swept a three-game series from Kansas State, who won the 2013 league title. Since 1997 - during the Big 12 era - Tech has defeated the defending Big 12 regular season champion six times, two have come the last two seasons.

Tech has posted notable non-conference wins at home against No. 3 Indiana (3 wins), No. 20 Arizona State (3/19), New Mexico State, No. 17 New Mexico and Dallas Baptist (twice) to name a few. TADLOCK BECOMES FASTEST COACH IN SCHOOL HISTORY TO REACH 60 WINS Second-year head coach Tim Tadlock already has eight more wins this season than in his debut season as Tech head coach in 2013. Tadlock now owns the school record for fastest coach to win 60 career games while needing only 103 games while the previous record was 116 games by Gary Ashby (1984-86). Below is a look at the top-5 coaches in school history who needed the fewest number of games played to reach 60 career wins. Coach (Years)_______________ Games Needed Tim Tadlock (2013-14)__________________ 103 Gary Ashby (1984-86)___________________ 116 Larry Hays (1987-89)____________________ 117 Dan Spencer (2009-11)__________________ 122 Kal Segrist (1968-71)____________________ 124 GUTIERREZ HITS HOME RUN ON A RARE 3-0 PITCH Texas Tech sophomore Eric Gutierrez hit a 3-0 pitch for a three-run homer against New Mexico on Apr. 1 at Security Bank Ballpark in Midland against New Mexico. The home run was rare for a couple reasons. The first being it was a three-run homer, the first for the Red Raiders in 2014 and just the second of Gutierrez’ career (HR was his 11th career). The only previous three-run homer of Gutierrez’ career was his first career home run at UFC (2/23/13). More rare was the fact Gutierrez hit a 3-0 pitch for a home run as he became the first Red Raider to accomplish the feat since 2009 (Garrett Totten - grand slam - at Baylor). In fact, since 2005, Gutierrez is just the third Red Raider to go deep on a 3-0 pitch, joining Totten and Cameron Blair (2005 - UTSA). Below is a look at the three Texas Tech home runs coming on a 3-0 pitch during the past decade. Ironically, Gutierrez and Blair both hit 3-0 home runs in Midland at the home of the Midland Rockhounds. The ballpark is currently named Security Bank Ballpark, but was 1st American Park in 2005 when Blair and the Red Raiders defeated UTSA, 22-7.

GAME NOTES RED RAIDERS WIN ROAD SERIES AT NO. 24 TCU Texas Tech dropped the series opener (0-9) but answered immediately with a 10-2 win in game two and a dominating 12-2 victory in the series finale while taking the series over the Horned Frogs. It marked Tech’s first time defeating TCU in backto-back road games since 2002. The Red Raiders’ first win of the series in game two snapped a nine-game losing streak to the Frogs in Fort Worth that dated back to 2005. Tech finished the weekend with a 10-run victory over TCU (12-2), marking Tech’s first win by 10 or more runs over a ranked opponent since 2006 (vs. #24 Baylor - 14-1) and its first on the road over a ranked foe since 1997 (at #14 Oklahoma - 18-6). HERE WE GO AGAIN - TECH TAKES TO THE ROAD EARLY IN BIG 12 PLAY FOR SECOND STRAIGHT SEASON Last year marked the first time in Big 12 Conference history that the Red Raiders would start league play with back-to-back road series - well, here we go again. Tech not only opened league play with back-to-back road series at Baylor/at TCU, but will then play at Oklahoma State (Apr. 4-6) after its Big 12 home opening series against Texas (Mar. 28-30) giving the Red Raiders three of their first four series on the road. Prior to last season, the last time Tech opened the season with back-toback road series was in 1995 - Tech’s Southwest Conference championship season (16-8 league record) - its first-ever league championship in school history. That season also marked Tech’s first NCAA Tournament appearance while finishing the season with a 51-14 overall record. TEXAS TECH WINS 14 STRAIGHT HOME GAMES - FIRST SINCE 1999 Following an Opening Day loss to third-ranked Indiana (0-1), Texas Tech won 14 consecutive home games, which marked the longest winning streak by the Red Raiders on their home field since 1999. The 1999 Red Raiders captured 21 consecutive wins from Feb. 5-Apr. 4, 1999. This season’s win streak was snapped on Mar. 19 against Stephen F. Austin (L, 3-6). RED RAIDERS HOME MIDWEEK WIN STREAK RUNS TO 10 STRAIGHT Dating back to last season the Red Raiders won 10 consecutive midweek home games, marking Tech’s longest home win streak during the midweek since 2004-06 when Tech won 14 in a row. Tech’s home midweek streak spanned Tim Tadlock’s entire head coaching career - the past two seasons - as the streak began on Mar. 12, 2013 with a 9-2 win over Utah Valley - Tadlock’s first home midweek game as Tech’s head coach. The Red Raiders finished the 2013 season with six consecutive wins at home in the midweek over Utah Valley (2), No. 20 Arizona State, New Mexico State, No. 17 New Mexico and Dallas Baptist. This season Tech won midweek home games against BYU, New Mexico, Abilene Christian and Stephen F. Austin. The last time Tech won 10 straight home midweek games was during a three-year span from 2004-06. The home win streak in midweek play came to an end following a 6-3 loss against Stephen F. Austin at Rip Griffin Park on Mar. 19. TEXAS TECH IN BIG 12 OPENERS Texas Tech began its 18th season in the Big 12 Conference dropping 2-of-3 games at Baylor (Mar. 14-16). The Red Raiders are now 7-10-1 in Big 12 opening series while having won three of their last six. Tech is just 3-9 in opening conference series on the road, with its series win at Texas in 2013 marking the program’s second in the last two tries but only the third since 1997, the first year of the Big 12 Conference. The Red Raiders are 7-11 all-time in Big 12 openers while having won three of their last six and four of their past eight. Here is a look back at the Red Raiders in Big 12 opening series weekends. Year Opponent Big 12 Opener Score Series Record 2014 at Baylor L 0-1 1-2 2013 at Texas W 1-0 2-1 2012 at Baylor L 4-9 0-3 2011 at #14 Baylor W 6-5 2-1 2010 at #23 Texas A&M L 3-6 1-2 2009 vs. Nebraska W 16-8 2-1 2008 at #22 Texas A&M L 5-6 (12) 1-2 2007 vs. Nebraska W 7-6 (11) 2-1 2006 vs. #16 Texas L 3-4 1-1 2005 vs. #8 Texas A&M W 13-1 2-1 2004 at #10 Texas A&M L 2-5 1-2 2003 at #8 Baylor L 1-3 1-2 2002 at #17 Texas A&M L 6-7 (10) 0-3 2001 vs. #12 Nebraska L 2-3 0-3 2000 at Texas A&M W 8-5 1-2 1999 vs. Kansas W 8-1 3-0 1998 at Texas A&M L 4-5 1-2 1997 at Texas L 6-7 2-1 SADBERRY GOES 26.1 INNINGS WITHOUT ALLOWING FIRST WALK OF THE SEASON Junior left-handed pitcher Chris Sadberry was nearly flawless controlling his pitches through his opening five starts of the season while going 26.1 consecutive innings pitched without allowing a walk. The first walk he allowed was in the bottom of the sixth inning in game two of the Big 12 opening series at Baylor when he missed on a full-count pitch to Bears first baseman Mitch Price. The last time a Red Raider had gone 26.1 consecutive innings pitched without allowing a walk was in 2012 when redshirt sophomore right-handed pitcher Duke von Schamann pitched exactly 26.1 innings without allowing a walk from March 30-April 28, a span that covered five starts, including four in Big 12 play. TECH PLAYS 1 HOUR, 47 MINUTE GAME - FASTEST PLAYED GAME SINCE 2003 Texas Tech defeated Abilene Christian 6-2 in midweek action (Mar. 11) in Lubbock while the game lasted just one hour and 47 minutes (7-minute weather delay) due to weather conditions which forced the Red Raiders and Wildcats to call it a final after ACU batted in the top of the seventh inning. It marked the fastest played game (minutes) for the Red Raiders in over 11 years dating back to Feb. 22, 2003 when No. 22 Texas Tech lost at TCU, 2-1, in a seven-inning contest at Lupton Stadium. THIRD STRAIGHT WEEK A RED RAIDER NAMED BIG 12 NEWCOMER OF THE WEEK - FIRS TIME IN BIG 12 HISTORY For the first time in Big 12 history one program has had the league’s Newcomer of the Week for three straight weeks as senior OF Adam Kirsch was named the league’s top newcomer after LHP Chris Sadberry (Mar. 3) and SS Ryan Long (Feb. 24) earned the honor the previous two weeks. Kirsch was among the top Red Raiders during their four-game series sweep over New Mexico State and midweek win over New Mexico while batting .412 (7-for-17) on the week with 3 doubles, a home run and seven RBI while having his 14-game hit streak come to a close. TEXAS TECH SWEEPS FOUR-GAME SERIES OVER NMSU - FIRST SINCE 1999 Texas Tech swept New Mexico State in a four-game series in Lubbock (Mar. 6-9) giving the Red Raiders their first four-game series sweep since 1999 (vs. Howard). In fact, Tech has only played in four four-game series since 1997 with a series against No. 3 Indiana this season (Tech won 3-of-4), vs. Northern Iowa in 2003 (Tech won 3-of-4) and the Howard series to open the 1999 season, which Tech won 19-1, 16-5, 19-3 and 27-2.

TEXAS TECH AT THE HOUSTON COLLEGE CLASSIC - MINUTE MAID PARK Tech returned to the Houston College Classic for the eighth time this season. The Red Raiders have played in the event (now in its 14th year) in 2001, 2002, 2004, 2006, 2008, 2010, 2012 and 2014. Tech is now 7-17 overall at the Houston College Classic with wins in 2001 (TCU), 2002 (TCU), a pair of wins in 2004 (Houston, Ohio State), 2008 (Tennessee), 2012 (Houston) and 2014 (Rice). The last time Tech advanced to the NCAA Tournament - 2004 - also marks the only year Tech has won two games at the event. This year marked the sixth consecutive trip to the Houston College Classic that Tech played at least one top-10 nationally-ranked opponent (No. 10 Rice). In 2012, Tech faced No. 4 Arkansas (L, 1-3) and No. 4 Rice (L, 2-6). Texas Tech at the Houston College Classic (2001-2014) 2014_________________________________________ Houston (L, 0-9), Sam Houston State (L, 6-10), #10 Rice (W, 2-1) 2012________________________________________________ #4 Arkansas (L, 1-3), #4 Rice (L, 2-6), Houston (W, 10-4) 2010____________________________________________________ #7 TCU (L, 2-11), #9 Rice (L, 2-3), Houston (L, 8-15) 2008___________________________________________________ Houston (L, 4-5), Tennessee (W, 7-3), #6 Rice (L, 4-5) 2006___________________________________________________ #4 Rice (L, 1-5), #12 Tulane (L, 4-6), Houston (L, 1-5) 2004__________________________________________ #1 Rice (L, 6-9), Houston (W, 12-7, 11 inn.), Ohio State (W, 9-4) 2002____________________________________________ TCU (W, 2-1, 10 inn.), UL Lafayette (L, 3-4), #11 Rice (L, 4-17) 2001______________________________________________________ TCU (W, 5-4), #7 Rice (L, 6-13), Houston (L, 5-11) TEXAS TECH KNOCKS OFF 10TH-RANKED RICE FOR FOURTH TOP-10 WIN OF THE SEASON In just 12 games this season the Red Raiders picked up four wins against top-10 ranked opponents with three wins over third-ranked Indiana to open the season and then defeating No. 10 Rice, 2-1, at Minute Maid Stadium. The victory marked Tech’s first over a top-10 ranked team on a neutral field since defeating No. 1 Texas, 4-2, in the Big 12 Championship in Oklahoma City in 2010. In addition, Texas Tech needed only 12 games this season to claim four wins over top-10 opponents. Tech’s previous four wins over top-10 teams came from 2010-12 during a span of 143 games. SADBERRY GUIDES TECH TO RARE VICTORY - IN MANY WAYS Texas Tech had to look back to 1996 for its last win over the Rice Owls until Sunday, Mar. 2, when redshirt junior Chris Sadberry guided Tech to a 2-1 victory on the final day of the Houston College Classic at Minute Maid Park to snap the Red Raiders 15-game losing streak against Rice. Sadberry pitched seven innings while not allowing an earned run with two strikeouts, five hits allowed and didn’t issue a walk. Perhaps the most amazing part of the win was the fact Tech had just two base hits - marking the fewest hits in a game that Tech won in over 14 years. SADBERRY/LONG NAMED TO HOUSTON COLLEGE CLASSIC ALL-TOURNAMENT TEAM The Houston College Classic, now in its 14th year, selected a pair of Red Raiders to its All-Tournament Team, a first for Tech since 2008. Junior LHP Chris Sadberry (W, 7 IP, 5 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 2 SO) and freshman SS Ryan Long (.400, R, 2B, RBI) were named to the 13-player all-tourney list. Sadberry became Tech’s first pitcher on the all-tourney team since 2004 (Adam Fry) and became Tech’s first left-handed pitcher to be selected. Long became the first Tech freshman and shortstop to make the all-tourney list. In addition, Sadberry, who transferred to Tech this year from Grayson County, became Tech’s first newcomer to win a game at the tournament since 2008 when now Tampa Bay Rays right-handed pitcher Nathan Karns led Tech to a 7-3 victory over Tennessee. Karns transferred to Tech after spending his freshman season (2007) at NC State. SADBERRY NAMED BIG 12 NEWCOMER OF THE WEEK - BACK-TO-BACK WEEKS FOR RED RAIDERS For the second straight week a Red Raider was named the Big 12’s Newcomer of the Week as redshirt junior left-handed pitcher Chris Sadberry was honored on Monday, Mar. 3, after his dominating performance in Tech’s 2-1 win over No. 10 Rice.
OF TYLER NESLONY .412 AVG., 12 2B, 4 3B, 4 HR, 31 RBI
TEXAS TECH HAS LONGEST WIN STREAK SINCE 2002 The Texas Tech baseball program has its longest winning streak since capturing 14 straight wins in 2002. The last time Texas Tech won eight straight games was 2007 (Feb. 10-23). With a win on Thursday, Tech would capture its eighth straight win, that hasn’t happened at Tech since 2002 when the Red Raiders won 16 consecutive games (April 13-May 22). RYAN LONG BECOMES SEVENTH RED RAIDER TO BE NAMED BIG 12 NEWCOMER OF THE WEEK Texas Tech freshman infielder Ryan Long was named the Big 12 Newcomer of the Week (2/24) after batting .500 (6-for-12) with three RBI and three consecutive games with multiple hits during the Red Raiders three-game series sweep over Oral Roberts. Long becomes the seventh Red Raider to receive the honor and is just the second Tech freshman position player (2011 - OF Andre Wheeler). Texas Tech had the very first Big 12 Newcomer of the Week during the award’s first season in 2011 when Tech shortstop Kelby Tomlinson won the award after the first week of the season. TEXAS TECH SWEEPS ORAL ROBERTS - FIRST THREE-GAME SERIES SWEEP FOR TECH SINCE 2012 Tech swept its first three-game series of the season over Oral Roberts (Feb. 21-23) at Rip Griffin Park. It marked Tech’s first three-game series sweep since taking an April three-game series over Houston in 2012. RED RAIDERS START SEASON 7-1 WITH IMPRESSIVE NON-CONFERENCE WINS Playing arguably its most difficult schedule for the opening eight games of the season since 2008, the Red Raiders have started the season 7-1 with three wins over No. 3 Indiana, a three-game series sweep over Oral Roberts and knocking off BYU. It marks the seventh time during the Big 12 era (since 1997) that Tech has started the year 7-1 and the fourth time over the last five years. Tech also started the season 7-1 in 2012, 2011, 2010, 2005, 2003 and 1997. NESLONY BECOMES FIRST RED RAIDER WITH PAIR OF GRAND SLAMS IN A SEASON SINCE 2008 Outfielder Tyler Neslony hit his first career home run - grand slam - and triple on opening weekend against No. 3 Indiana. The next weekend, Neslony hit his second career grand slam against Oral Roberts with a shot over the right-field wall. Neslony is the first Red Raider since Roger Kieschnick (2008) with a pair of grand slams in a season. Kieschnick ended his Tech career with three. Neslony turned a lot of heads during the first two weekends of the season. Through six games, Neslony is batting .533 (8-for-15), five runs, a double, triple, two grand slams, 10 RBI, 17 total bases, 1.133 slugging percentage and .611 on-base percentage. Neslony will now miss time after suffering a right-hand injury during Tech’s game two contest against Oral Roberts. *** Neslony is the first Red Raider with 10 RBI through six games since 2009 (Chris Richburg - 10). *** Neslony has the highest slugging percentage (1.133) by a Red Raider through 6 games since 2003 (Evan Shahak - 1.263).

TEXAS TECH SWEEPS ORAL ROBERTS IN FIFTH-ANNUAL BROOKS WALLACE MEMORIAL SERIES For the fifth consecutive year, the Texas Tech baseball program recognized one of its own with the Brooks Wallace Memorial Series – this season a three-game series against Oral Roberts. The Red Raiders swept the three-game series – its first three-game sweep since 2012 (vs. Houston) – with 3-2, 7-2 and 4-1 victories over the Golden Eagles. Wallace, who is one of four Red Raiders to have their jersey number (#22) retired, died at the age of 27 on March 24, 1985 after an on-going bout with leukemia. Wallace played at Tech from 1977-80 while earning All-SWC honors and All-District VI recognition. He was twice selected in the MLB Draft by the Texas Rangers (21st Round) in 1980 and also by the New York Mets following his junior season at Tech in 1979. Wallace served as a graduate assistant coach under Kal Segrist in 1983 and as an assistant coach under Gary Ashby in 1984-85. In addition, the former Red Raider’s name is also attached to the College Baseball Foundation’s Brooks Wallace Award, an honor given annually to the nation’s top collegiate shortstop. TEXAS TECH IS BACK IN THE NATIONAL RANKINGS - FIRST TIME SINCE 2012 The Texas Tech baseball program received a pair of national rankings following its 3-1 record over third-ranked Indiana on opening weekend. Tech received a No. 28 ranking from NCBWA - its first ranking in that poll since 2005 - and was also tabbed No. 30 by Collegiate Baseball. The last time Tech was in the national rankings was in 2012 with three straight rankings in Collegiate Baseball’s top-30 poll. OPENING WEEKEND SERVED AS THE FIRST OF MANY FOR RED RAIDERS Texas Tech came away with a series win claiming 3-of-4 victories from No. 3 Indiana on opening weekend in Lubbock (2/14-16). The Red Raiders picked up their first series win over a topfive opponent since 2008 (No. 2 Missouri) and the series finale, 7-0 shutout over the Hoosiers, was Tech’s first shutout over a top-10 opponent since 2009 (6-0 at No. 10 Kansas State). With wins over Indiana during the final three games it also marked the first time Tech had won three straight games over a top-five opponent in over 13 years. DOUBLEHEADER SWEEP - FIRST OVER RANKED OPPONENT SINCE 1999 Texas Tech swept a doubleheader over No. 3 Indiana on the first Saturday of the season with a 10-5 win and 6-2 victory in the second game. It marked Tech’s first doubleheader sweep over a ranked opponent since taking a pair of games against No. 3 Texas A&M (5-4 and 9-1) on March 14, 1999. 2014 OPENING DAY CROWD - BEST SINCE 2003 FOR TEXAS TECH HOME OPENER Texas Tech saw 2,751 fans attend Opening Day against No. 3 Indiana with 62 degrees at first pitch (2:01 p.m.), which marked the largest home opener crowd for the Red Raiders since 2003 (3,018 vs. New Mexico). FASTEST PLAYED TEXAS TECH OPENING DAY SINCE 1993 Texas Tech lost on Opening Day 1-0 against No. 3 Indiana in a contest that lasted just one hour and 58 minutes. The last time Tech played in an opener that took less time was in 1993 when Tech defeated Howard Payne 6-0 in Lubbock during a one hour and 50 minute contest. TEXAS TECH OPENS SEASON AGAINST TOP-10 OPPONENT FOR FIRST TIME SINCE 1989 Texas Tech opened the season hosting No. 3 Indiana for a four-game series, which marked the first time the Red Raiders had opened the season against a preseason top-10 opponent since 1989 (at No. 10 Arizona State). The Red Raiders lost to the Hoosiers (0-1) - but took 3-of-4 in the series. The Red Raiders lost 3-5 against the Sun Devils on Opening Day in 1989. OPENING DAY NOTES - VS. NO. 3 INDIANA - Texas Tech played 18 players - its most on Opening Day since 2006 (19 - vs. Louisiana-Monroe, W, 21-5). - Marked Tech’s first top-10 ranked opponent on Opening Day since 1989 (No. 10 Arizona State in Tempe). - Marked Tech’s first Opening Day opponent coming off a trip to Omaha since 1995 (No. 22 Arizona State in Tempe). - Tech had its 14-game win streak snapped on Opening Day at home (dated back to 1999). - Marked Tech’s first shutout on Opening Day at home since 1959 (0-4, vs. Colorado). - Red Raiders didn’t commit an error on Opening Day for the first time since 2010 (vs. Jacksonville State). - Marked 13th time since 1987 that Tech’s starting pitcher allowed one or fewer runs on Opening Day (fifth year in a row). - Tech had six players make career debuts, including three freshmen (Kirsch, Broadbent, Herrington, Lyons, Long, Redman). - Red Raiders had three players make first career starts - DH Adam Kirsch, 1B Matt Broadbent, LF Heath Herrington. - Tech played its Opening Day on Valentine’s Day for just second time in school history (1977 - vs. UT Arlington - W, 8-3). PROUDFOOT STARTS OPENING DAY AT SHORTSTOP FOR 3RD STRAIGHT SEASON - FIRST IN OVER 27 YEARS Tim Proudfoot made his third straight start at shortstop for Tech on Opening Day (2011-13) becoming the first Tech player to start 3 consecutive Opening Days at shortstop in over 27 years. BIG LEAGUE TALENT ON OPENING DAY Texas Tech had a four-year stretch where it started a current big leaguer on the mound for Opening Day. In 2006 current Cleveland Indians RHP Josh Tomlin earned the win guiding Tech to a 21-5 victory over Louisiana-Monroe. The following season current San Diego Padres LHP Colt Hynes was the starting pitcher during a six-inning no decision during Tech’s 4-3 win over Stephen F. Austin. Current Miami Marlins RHP A.J. Ramos got the start for the Red Raiders during his junior season in 2008 while taking the loss against Louisiana-Lafayette going six innings with 10 strikeouts. In 2009 current Colorado Rockies RHP Chad Bettis earned the win pitching 6.2 innings in the Opening Day start against Southern Utah. BURLESON HAS HIT STREAK SNAPPED AT 16 GAMES - LONGEST BY A RED RAIDER SINCE 2010 Bryant Burleson extended his career-best hit streak to 16 games before having it snapped in the third game of the season. Burleson’s streak - which dated back to 2013 - marked the longest by a Red Raider since 2010 (Scott LeJeune - 17 games). The junior from Midland batted .375 (24-for-64) with seven runs, four doubles, 10 RBI and five walks. Burleson ended the 2013 season with a 14-game streak, which was the longest to end a season by a Red Raider since 2001 (Anthony Arnerich - 17 games). RANDOLPH GIVES TEXAS TECH IS LONE FOURTH-YEAR SENIOR Texas Tech catcher Mason Randolph has been around for a while now - not just because the senior catcher is from Lubbock - graduating in 2010 from Coronado High School - but because he is the only fourth-year senior on the Red Raiders roster. Randolph entered the season having played in 86 career games (66 starts) with a .237 (55-for-232) career average with 38 runs, 11 doubles, three home runs and 28 RBI while starting in 42 games in 2013 as a junior behind the plate.

2014 Texas Tech Baseball GAME NOTES DAMRON & MOSELEY CHOSE TEXAS TECH OVER MLB OPPORTUNITIES Tech had two student-athletes decide to start a collegiate career and bypass the opportunity to sign with an MLB organization as both RHP Ryan Moseley (Lubbock, Texas/Cooper HS) and LHP Ty Damron (Krum, Texas/Krum HS) passed on MLB offers after being selected in the 2013 MLB Draft. Moseley, who went 10-2 with a 1.78 ERA with 111 strikeouts in 78.2 innings as a senior, was taken in the 36th round by Tampa Bay. Damron, who was the only draft pick the Dodgers didn’t sign that was taken in the top 15 rounds, was the 13th round pick by the Dodgers. Damron went 8-2 as a senior with a 1.00 ERA with 138 strikeouts allowing just 40 walks. Damron became the highest drafted incoming Red Raider to make it to campus since 2007 when Chad Bettis was taken in the eighth round by the Astros. Bettis was a second round pick out of Tech following his junior season in 2010 and made his MLB debut in 2013 with the Rockies. EIGHT OPPONENTS IN THE POLLS Tech opponents have received preseason national rankings, appearing in at least one of the following polls: Collegiate Baseball (CB), NCBWA, Baseball America (BA) and USA Today (USA).
