WEEK 6: at SETON HALL CLASSIC • GAMES 29-34 INSIDE THE SERIES Texas Tech has not previously faced Manhattan, Monmouth, or Seton Hall in school history. The Red Raiders will be playing their first game ever in the New Jersey area.

ON DECK Following the Seton Hall Classic, Tech will take the next week off before returning to Rocky Johnson Field March 27 to face Midwestern State. The Red Raiders resume Big 12 play that same weekend, hosting Iowa State in a three-game series beginning March 30.

LOOKING BACK Tech has already enjoyed success in the New York as the Red Raiders swept a doubleheader of Stony Brook on Wednesday. The two wins improve the Red Raiders to 4-0 on the week as Tech also took a doubleheader sweep of No. 23 New Mexico Monday afternoon in Lubbock. In addition to their work on the field, the Red Raiders enjoyed a Broadway play on Tuesday night and has Thursday to explore the New York area.

KENNEY SETS CAREER HOME RUN RECORD After tying the Tech career home run record earlier this week, Mikey Kenney passed Kim Martinez for first all-time Wednesday with her solo home run in the second inning against Stony Brook. The dinger, which came in the second game of a doubleheader, was the 28th of Kenney’s career, moving her past Martinez who totaled 27 during the 1997 and 1999 seasons. Kenney has now homored three times in the last five games, giving her nine on the year which is tied with Lauren Chamberlain of Oklahoma for the Big 12 lead.

HAYS EARNS WIN NO. 100 AT TEXAS TECH Shanon Hays picked up his 100th victory while the head coach at Texas Tech Wednesday with the Red Raiders’ 4-1 win in the series opener at Stony Brook.

Tech went on to win the second game as well, moving Hays to 101-41 in two-plus seasons at Tech. The Lubbock native, who is 213-57 in five seasons as a collegiate coach, trails only Renee Luers-Gillespie as the school’s all-time winningest coach. Gillespie went 136-159-1 during just over four seasons from 1996-2000.

BLEDSOE HEATS UP AT STONY BROOK After struggling for the first part of the season, Emily Bledsoe was able to string several hits together at Stony Brook Wednesday, going 4-for-8 over two games while driving in a pair of runs and scoring two of her own. The senior, who was named to the USA Softball Preseason Watch List, now has four multiple-hit games while her two RBI performance in the first game marked the second time she had two or more this year. Bledsoe’s fifth-inning double marked the 42nd of her career, leaving her six shy of entering the top 10 in Big 12 history.

RICHARDSON REACHING BASE OVER PAST WEEK Raven Richardson comes into this weekend having reached base in 11 of her last 14 plate appearances, with six of those coming from hits. The senior went a perfect 4-for-4 in the series opener with New Mexico on Monday then drew three-straight walks in the finale. After an 0-for-3 performance in the opener against Stony Brook, Richardson rebounded with a 2-for-2 day at the plate that included two walks.

Richardson is hitting .667 this week with a home run, two doubles, and four RBI.

HALL BECOMES BIG 12 DOUBLES LEADER After two doubles during the Stony Brook series, Logan Hall now leads all Big 12 players with eight on the season. Following a relatively slow start to the season, Hall has posted six doubles during the month of March alone. She leads Lexi Slater (Iowa State), Lexi Bryant (Kansas), and Maggie Hull (Kansas) for the conference high.

CUSTER REGAINS BIG 12 LEAD IN WINS Cara Custer enters this weekend as the Big 12 leader with 12 wins so far as she is 12-5 on the year with a 2.22 earned-run average. Prior to suffering two losses at Texas last week, the freshman had picked up a victory in nine of her last 10 appearances with the lone exception being a no-decision against Texas State on Feb. 26. Custer went 3-0 during the Jeannine McHaney Memorial Classic against Binghamton and UT-Arlington while not giving up an earned run over 18.0 innings. She gave up 12 hits during that span while striking out 18 as well. Custer is also among the Big 12 leaders in innings pitched, strikeouts, appearances, games started, and complete games.

DON’T FORGET TALLEY Even with Cara Custer’s emergence early in the season, Tech would not be 21-7 on the year without the consistency of sophomore Brittany Talley. The left-hander, who provides a good 1-2 punch in the rotation with Custer, is 7-2 on the year with a teamleading 2.01 earned-run average. In seven starts this season, Talley has given up more than one earned run only twice, which came when San Diego State put across three runs in the season opener and then Monday in the second game against New Mexico.

Since the San Diego State game, Talley went the distance in four of her next six starts while also making five appearances out of the bullpen. She gave up three runs, two of which were earned, in 14.0 innings during the Jeannine McHaney Memorial Classic against UT-Arlington and Binghamton. She held Stony Brook to just one run Wednesday in a complete game effort against the Seawolves.

PEREZ CONTINUES TO SHINE IN CLEANUP ROLE Through 26 games this season, Adriana Perez has already showed why she was the two-time California JUCO Catcher of the Year. The Lancaster, Calif. native is currently among the Big 12 leaders as she leads the team with a team-high .365 average. Perez has homored five times so far while also driving in 19 runs. With her emergence, Tech head coach Shanon Hays has been able to move Sandy James, last year’s cleanup hitter, to the No. 3 hole since Perez is protecting her in the lineup.

PENCIL BLEDSOE IN THE LINEUP During Cal Ripken, Jr.’s historic stretch with the Baltimore Orioles, he earned the iconic nickname “Iron Man” after breaking the major league record for 2,632 consecutive games played. While not nearing Ripken’s mark, Emily Bledsoe has impressed many not just for her glove or bat but for her toughness as well as the Fulshear, Texas native has started in all 199 games since her freshman season in 2009. Already a regular in the Tech record book, the senior broke into the Tech record book with both starts against New Mexico, passing current volunteer assistant coach Leah Legler for 10th all-time in games played. With a start Friday against Monmouth, Bledsoe will move into sole possession of eighth all-time, passing Jennifer Bowers (2005-08) and Ashley Parker (2004-07) who both played in a total of 199 games.

2012 TEXAS TECH SOFTBALL

TECH BATS COME TO LIFE AGAINST NEW MEXICO Heading into the New Mexico doubleheader, Tech head coach Shanon Hays had hoped his offense would have produced a few more runs so far this season. He got his wish early on against the 23rd Lobos as Tech set a new season high in hits during the first game en route to scoring a total of 17 runs over the two games. The Red Raiders capitalized on two separate seven-run innings which allowed Tech to break the first game open in the third before using another seven-run frame in the fourth to bounce back from an early 3-0 deficit in the finale.

WILLIAMS EMERGES IN LEFT FIELD For the first three weekends of the season, Tech used a platoon of players in left field with Melisa Ryba, Taylor Powell, Kermitria Ward, and Katelyn Williams all seeing time. Over the past 11 games, though, Williams has found her way into the lineup, marking the most-consecutive starts for a Tech player in left field this season. During that span, Williams has hit .241 at the plate (7-for-29) with her first career home run and a pair of doubles. She has also drove in eight RBI and scored four runs.

NOTABLES u Texas Tech’s 16 game road trip to start the season marks the longest stretch away from Lubbock under Shanon Hays. The Red Raiders longest streak away from home to start the season was in 2009 when the Red Raiders opened with their first 22 games were at road tournaments. u Tech built a 10-game winning streak before falling to Texas State in the championship game of the Texas Shootout in Waco. That streak is the Red Raiders’ longest since running off 11-straight from March 11-20 last year as Tech closed the non-conference schedule. u Sandy James, the Feb. 21 Big 12 Player of the Week, enters this weekend among the Big 12 leaders home runs (5) and RBI (19) along with total bases (45). The junior had reached base in each of the last 16 games prior to the Texas series. u The Red Raiders have been aggressive on the base paths so far this season, swiping 29 bases in 37 attempts thus far. Kermitria Ward is among the Big 12 leaders in the category as she is 8-for-9 in attempts this season. Mikey Kenney and Emily Bledsoe have both swiped six bags this year as well. u Tech had a 34.0 errorless inning streak going last weekend until the Red Raiders committed two against Binghamton on Saturday. Tech had been error-free in each of its last four games to that point. u Following four errors in the Texas series, the Red Raiders dropped to third in the Big 12 with a .979 fielding percentage thanks to 15 errors on the year.

Tech is still the conference leader in both putouts (245) and assists (248). u After a slow start to the season, Logan Hall enters this week as the Big 12 leader in doubles with six so far. The senior is currently hitting .268 on the year, helped mainly by a .500 average during the Jeannine McHaney Memorial Classic.

“THE ROCK” GETS ADDITIONAL SEATING Texas Tech fans have the added comfort of not having to fight for a seat this season as over 500 seats were added to Rocky Johnson Field in the offseason.

The seating addition replaced the grass berms that previously stood above both dugouts and over both bullpen areas. The facility currently has seating for 1,165 fans with room to add portable seating as well.

OFFENSE SHINES IN OPENING WEEKEND After hitting just .240 over the first 16 games of the season, the Red Raiders responded with a .386 average over six games last weekend against Binghamton and UT-Arlington, bringing their season average up 42 points in the process. Tech, which ranked fourth nationally in scoring offense and batting average last year, had at least 10 hits in four of six games en route to an undefeated weekend. Mikey Kenney led the way with a .533 average on the weekend that included three home runs and four stolen bases. Logan Hall trailed close behind after going 11-for-21 with three RBI and six runs scored. Tech is 13-1 this year when scoring three or more runs.

TECH PITCHERS GOING THE DISTANCE Led by primary starters Brittany Talley and Cara Custer, the Tech pitching staff has been going the distance for the most part this season, already tossing 14 complete games over the first 28 games, including four times at the Louisville Slugger Desert Classic in Las Vegas. Custer leads the squad as she has finished out nine games so far while Talley has added five complete games of her own. The duo has combined for four shutouts on the year, two of which that took place at the Texas Shootout in Waco.

RED RAIDERS REBOUND NICELY IN VEGAS After what many considered a disappointing 1-4 start to the season, the Red Raiders rebounded rather nicely in Las Vegas, going 6-0 while defeating three teams that advanced to the postseason a year ago in Long Beach State, Portland State, and DePaul along with Ohio State who was receiving votes in the top 25 polls at the time. Tech faced six schools that made the postseason last year in its first 11 games, going 4-2 in those contests.

JAMES NAMED BIG 12 PLAYER OF THE WEEK After hitting over .400 with a pair of home runs, Sandy James was named the Big 12 Player of the Week Tuesday, marking the second time the junior has earned the honor. She hit .409 at the Louisville Slugger Desert Classic while driving in nine RBI to lead the Red Raider offense. She becomes the first Red Raider in school history to be named the league’s Player of the Week twice. She is also just the second Tech player to earn a weekly award on multiple occasions, joining Amanda Renfro who was named the Pitcher of the Week five times over the 1998-01 seasons.

HAYS EARNS WIN NO. 200 The Red Raiders’ 2-1 win over DePaul marked win No. 200 for head coach Shanon Hays as the thirdyear head coach is now 205-55 in four-plus seasons as a collegiate coach. Hays, who is 91-39 at Tech, recently passed Theresa Wilson for third on the winningest Tech coaches list as Wilson went 89-123 during the 2005-08 seasons.

UNFAMILIAR TERRITORY The Red Raiders entered unfamiliar territory in Las Vegas as Tech had never gone into a game with a losing record under head coach Shanon Hays. Tech lost only five non-conference games over the last two seasons, including only one in 2011 alone.

The Red Raiders had a tough weekend in Arizona, though, falling to Northwestern, No. 14 Tennessee, No. 9 Stanford, and Cal Poly in what is the worst start to a season since the 2008 squad opened the year with 12-straight losses. Tech’s four-game losing streak to regular season non-conference opponents also marks its longest since late in the 2009 season.

WEEK 6: at SETON HALL CLASSIC • GAMES 29-34 BLEDSOE A CANDIDATE FOR LOWE’S SR. CLASS Earlier this season, Emily Bledsoe was named one of 30 candidates for the prestigious Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award that is presented annually to the softball student-athlete that excels not only on the diamond but also in the classroom and community. The 30 candidates will be trimmed to 10 finalists midway through the season with the winner being named following a nationwide vote at the Women’s College World Series.

BUILDING THAT RPI Part of Tech’s success over the last two seasons in getting to a NCAA Regional has stemmed from its difficult regular season schedule. Tech played six non-conference teams last year that made the postseason and is set to face seven this year with three of those games taking place at the Kajikawa Classic. The Red Raiders dropped San Diego State, 5-4, before falling to both No. 14 Tennessee and No. 9 Stanford, who both earned national seeds a year ago. Tech faced three more regional squads from a year ago last weekend as Long Beach State, Portland State, and DePaul all made the postseason in 2011.

RED RAIDERS FACE QUALITY ARMS IN ARIZONA If there was one certainty from Tech’s opening weekend at the Kajikawa Classic, it was that Tech faced two of the country’s top pitchers in Tennessee’s Ellen Renfro and Stanford’s Teagan Gerhart. The duo combined to hold Tech to just one run which came off a Mikey Kenney solo home run in the second inning off the Cardinal. Renfro was the SEC Freshman of the Year last season after compiling a 26-7 record, while Gerhart earned All-Pac 12 first team honors after going 26-13 in the circle.

TECH PICKS UP VOTES IN PRESEASON POLLS For the second-straight season, Texas Tech started the season receiving votes in both the USA Today/ NFCA and the ESPN/USA Softball preseason polls.

The Red Raiders picked up five votes in the NFCA poll and then six in the ESPN rankings. One of seven Big 12 schools appearing in the polls, Tech will face a total of 14 teams this season that are ranked or receiving votes in the preseason rankings.

RED RAIDERS FACE CHALLENGE IN THE DESERT The Red Raiders had a tough task at hand at the Kajikawa Classic as four of their five opponents were ranked or receiving votes in the preseason rankings.

Stanford led the pack after being ranked No. 9 by the NFCA and No. 10 by ESPN.com, while Tennessee is No. 14 in the NFCA poll and No. 9 in the ESPN rankings. San Diego State was receiving votes in both polls while Northwestern picked up two votes in the ESPN rankings. Tennessee, Stanford, and San Diego State were all selected to a NCAA Regional last year with the Lady Vols and Cardinal eventually advancing to the Super Regionals.

RED RAIDERS RETURN 15 PLAYERS FROM 2011 With 15 returners back from its 2011 squad, Tech could be primed for another breakout season in 2012. Of those 15 returners, eight were position starters a year ago while Tech’s top two pitchers, senior Kelsey Dennis and sophomore Brittany Talley, also return in the circle. The Red Raiders had no seniors on their roster last year when Tech finished 42-16 overall after falling to Arizona in the finale of the NCAA Tucson Regional.

TAKING THE NEXT STEP Immediately following Tech’s season-ending loss to Arizona in the NCAA Tucson Regional, head coach Shanon Hays had one message for his young team to take the next step in 2012. Advancing to the postseason would no longer just be the goal. Knowing the majority of that squad would return this year, he challenged the group to win a regional this season, a feat that has not been accomplished in school history. The Red Raiders have fallen in the regional finale in each of the last two seasons.

TECH BOASTS A RECORD EIGHT SENIORS After only having a total of two seniors on the roster during his first two seasons, Shanon Hays will have a senior-laden squad for the first time as eight seniors return for their final season in scarlet and black. No Tech team had previously boasted more than six seniors on its roster since softball returned as an intercollegiate sport in 1996. The only two seniors in Hays’ tenure were in 2010 when Ashly Jacobs and Leah Legler completed their eligibility. Both are still associated with the program this season with Jacobs filling the role of graduate student manager and Legler as the volunteer assistant coach.

TECH RETURNS ONE OF NATION’S TOP LINEUPS The majority of last year’s lineup that hit .361 and ranked fourth nationally in both batting average and scoring average returns this season as the Red Raiders bring back eight position starters from a year ago. Tech set the Big 12 Conference record last year with its .361 batting average as seven regulars in the lineup hit .300 or better during the season.

Raven Richardson led all hitters with a .384 mark followed closely behind by Emily Bledsoe and her .383 average.

BLEDSOE NAMED TO PRESEASON WATCH LIST Senior Emily Bledsoe was named to the USA Softball Player of the Year Watch List prior to the season, joining 49 players nationwide including 10 from the Big 12 Conference. Bledsoe, a Fulshear, Texas native, hit a career-high .383 as a junior and is already a fixture in the school’s record book. She is the first Tech player to be named to any preseason watch list in school history.

TECH HITS THE ROAD FOR NON-CONFERENCE After playing the majority of non-conference games at home the past two seasons, the Red Raiders will be hitting the road more often this year with four non-conference tournaments away from Lubbock.

Following Tech’s trip to Tempe to open the season the Red Raiders will travel to Las Vegas (Feb. 17-19) for the Louisville Slugger Desert Classic, Waco (Feb. 24-26) for the Texas Shootout, and South Orange, N.J. (March 16-18) for the Seton Hall Classic.

HAYS LOOKS TO CUSTER FOR BOOST IN CIRCLE When pitching coach Aly Sartini was out recruiting the Las Vegas area in the summer of 2010, she sat in by chance on the Washington Lady Hawks travel team where this young right-hander with great velocity and good movement was retiring hitters left and right. Sartini along with Shanon Hays immediately began recruiting that right-hander, current freshman Cara Custer, early and secured her commitment before several of the top programs across the country came calling. Now, the Tech coaching staff is expecting the Spanaway, Wash. native to be a dominating presence in the circle for a Tech pitching staff that had a 3.50 ERA a year ago.

2012 TEXAS TECH SOFTBALL

RED RAIDERS ADD JUCO CATCHER OF THE YEAR Tech continued to add hitters in the offseason with the signing of two-time California JUCO Catcher of the Year Adriana Perez. One of the top junior college prospects in the country last year, Perez is expected to bolster an already-deep catcher staff that consists of seniors Holley Gentsch and Cydney Allen along with junior Randi Tongate. Perez hit over .500 in each of her two seasons at Antelope Valley College in California, totaling 31 home runs and 117 RBI during that two year stretch.

RYBA RETURNS TO DIAMOND AFTER YEAR OFF Melisa Ryba will be returning to the softball diamond for the first time since the 2010 season this weekend as the redshirt junior sat out the 2011 season due to NCAA transfer rules. Ryba, who could play varies positions for Tech, transferred from Northern Colorado after hitting .323 as a sophomore with seven home runs and 32 RBI. She was named an All-Independent Co-Freshman of the Year in 2009 before Northern Colorado joined the Pacific Coast Softball Conference in 2010 when she was a second team PCSC AllMountain selection.

TECH PICKED 7TH IN BIG 12 PRESEASON POLL Even with lofty expectations and the majority of its 2011 squad back for another season, Texas Tech was picked seventh in the Big 12 preseason poll of conference coaches. The league is coming off a record year where eight teams (of 10) advanced to the postseason with four of those eventually composing the eight-team Women’s College World Series. Missouri was the preseason favorite to take the league title followed by Oklahoma and then Texas.

BIG 12 PLAY TURNS TO THREE-GAME SERIES For the first time in Big 12 history, all conference series will be three games each. The league had previously gone with a two-game format and a postseason conference tournament until the 2011 season when the tournament was cut. There will be a total of 24 conference games, six more than the 2010 season. With the departure of Nebraska, the league is a nine-team conference as Kansas State does not sponsor softball.

PLAYER TO WATCH - #3 EMILY BLEDSOE

12-9 • Bledsoe went 4-for-8 at the plate at Stony Brook Wednesday, driving in a pair of runs while also scoring two of her own. After a slow start to the season, Bledsoe has had a hit in three of Tech’s last four games, going 5-for-14 during that stretch. The senior has started and played in all 199 games during her Texas Tech career.

In two seasons as Texas Tech’s head softball coach, Shanon Hays has taken the Red Raiders to consecutive NCAA Regional appearances, breaking a nineyear postseason absence and laying the framework for a program on the rise in the process.

After inheriting a squad that was only 15-42 in 2009, Hays led the Red Raiders to back-to-back 30-plus win seasons, including a 42-16 campaign in 2011 that marked the highest winning percentage in school history.

Prior to Hays’ arrival, Tech had only advanced to the postseason twice in program history with its last trip being in 2001, which was also its most-previous season with a winning record. Tech’s 80-34 record under Hays is one win shy of its previous four seasons combined as the Red Raiders won 81 games from 2006-09.

Most importantly, though, the Red Raiders have been in the postseason each season, advancing to the NCAA Stanford Regional in 2010 and the Tucson Regional in 2011. Tech fell in the regional finale each year as eventual College World Series participant Hawaii ended the squad’s run in 2010 while host Arizona dropped the Red Raiders in 2011.

No Tech squad had previously advanced to a regional in consecutive seasons, nor had any team previously appeared in the top 25 rankings. The Red Raiders changed that on Feb. 15, 2011 as they appeared in the top 25 of both polls, breaking a drought that lasted over a decade. Tech, which had not been ranked previously in either poll since the end of the 1999 season, climbed as high as No. 19 throughout the year, the highest ranking in school history.

Under Hays, Tech has consistently produced one of the top lineups in the nation as the Red Raiders spent most of the 2011 season with the highest batting average in the nation before ending the year fourth overall. The squad’s 7.17 runs per game ranked fourth as well in scoring nationally, while its .533 slugging percentage was just inside the top 10 nationally in ninth.

With that type of production up and down the lineup, the Red Raiders have snapped 13 single-season offensive marks in the school record book, including the previous highs for batting average, runs, hits, doubles, home runs, and RBI.

While playing in a conference dominated by pitching, Tech has only been shutout six times under Hays as the Red Raiders have been among the Big 12 leaders in most offensive categories as well. Four players - Cydney Allen, Emily Bledsoe, Logan Hall, and Mikey Kenney - have been honored on either the All-Big 12 second team or on the NFCA postseason awards lists following each season.

Tech’s transformation should come as little surprise after Hays’ work at Lubbock Christian. Following his appointment as the program’s first head softball coach in 2006, Hays worked for a full academic year in preparation for LCU’s first season in 2008.

The Lady Chaps did not disappoint in their inaugural season, compiling a 60-9 record and claiming the NAIA National Championship, earning Hays NAIA National Coach of the Year honors. Hays wrapped his twoyear tenure at LCU with a 114-16 overall record after advancing to the national championship again in 2009.

Known as a top-flight recruiter and motivator, Hays was named the Sooner Athletic Conference Coach of the Year both seasons and produced five NFCA and NAIA first team All-Americans during his tenure.

Hays turned to softball after a successful career as a basketball coach that included two seasons on the Texas Tech bench as an assistant coach from 1999-2001 under James Dickey. He is the first person at Texas Tech to coach two completely different sports (one men’s and now one women’s).

Hays began playing fastpitch softball as a youth, along with baseball and basketball, because his father, the legendary Texas Tech and LCU baseball coach Larry Hays, also played fastpitch softball. Hays, the elder, whose 1,509 career wins were good enough for fourth on the all-time collegiate baseball list, retired as Tech’s all-time winningest coach prior to the 2009 season.

He graduated from Lubbock Monterey High School in 1986 and makes his home in Lubbock with his wife, Tina, two sons, Hunter, Heath, and daughter, Hampton.
