Well, today's game against Texas State has been rained out. Nothing bad since it gives the guys a day off before playing in Albuquerque tomorrow.
Tech managed to take both game against Northern Illinois this weekend, but lost their contest against the Texas State Bobcats. Saturday's game against the Huskies was a good showing for the Red Raiders. AJ Ramos finally pitched a game where the run support was more than one run, and picked up his first win on the year. Tech's bats were alive, and accounted for 11 total hits in the 11-5 victory. The one bad note is the pitchers' control issues. 2 Tech pitchers combined for 5 HBPs and a wild pitch with 4 walks to boot. Of those 9 free passes, it allowed NIU to add 3 of their runs. The wild pitch also allowed a Huskie run to score. Let's hope Dan Spencer gets those control problems worked out.
The game against the Bobcats was the worst one for Tech this year. A 14-3 loss that saw 6 Tech starters go hitless, including Roger Kieshcnick and Taylor Ashby (11 game hitting streak ended). Unable to answer with big hits, all of Tech's run were scored via the sacrifice fly.
Game 3 on Sunday proved to be much better than game 2 was. Chad Bettis provided a strong starting effort for the Raiders, picking up his 2nd win of the year. He was backed by great hitting from Roger Kieschnick and Tanner Rindels, who both collected 3 hits. Kieschnick collected his 7th home run of the season on Sunday which is tops in the Big 12.
