FIRST PITCH • After already claiming the outright Big 12 Conference title, No. 5 Texas Tech will look to close the regular season in style this weekend when the Red Raiders host West Virginia in a three-game series at Dan Law Field at Rip Griffin Park. The series begins with a 6:30 p.m. first pitch Thursday evening and continues with 2 p.m. starts on Friday and Saturday. • All three contests of this weekend’s series will air live on a FOX Sports Network as FOX Sports Southwest will carry the first two games of the series (Thurs.-Fri.) while Saturday’s finale will be shown on FOX Sports Southwest Plus. • Texas Tech will be presented the 2016 Big 12 trophy in a pregame ceremony prior to Thursday’s series opener. The ceremony is tentatively scheduled for 6:20 p.m. outside the Tech dugout. • The Red Raiders clinched the outright Big 12 regular season title this past Sunday after Oklahoma defeated Oklahoma State, 3-1, to win that series. Texas Tech entered its off weekend with a two-game lead over the Cowboys in the Big 12 standings. • This is Texas Tech’s fifth conference title in school history and first since the Red Raiders won Erikson Lanning will be making his the 1998 Big 12 Tournament. Tech also claimed the Southwest Conference regular season and second start of the season against ACU on Tuesday night. tournament titles in 1995 as well as the inaugural Big 12 regular season crown in 1997. • Texas Tech will end a nine-day break with the West Virginia series as the Red Raiders’ last game came May 10 in a 7-2 victory at Abilene Christian. • Both Texas Tech and West Virginia enter the series riding winning streaks. The Red Raiders have won five straight entering this weekend while the Mountaineers currently boast the nation’s longest winning streak at 10 games. • A series win over the Mountaineers would push the Red Raiders to 40 wins for the 13th time in school history and the second time already under head coach Tim Tadlock. • Texas Tech needs two more victories to reach the 40-win plateau for the second time already in Tim Tadlock’s four seasons. Tadlock would potentially be the first head coach in program history to lead the Red Raiders to multiple 40-win seasons over his first four years. SERIES COVERAGE Date May 19 May 20 May 21
