AROUND THE HORN
- Jace Jung belted his 6th home run in 42 at-bats Game 1, which is just one fewer than Texas Tech pitchers have allowed in 361 ABs.
- Red Raider reliever Brendan Girton logged his first career save on Tuesday with 1.2 innings of hitless work with 4 strikeouts and no walks. His outing was more impressive considering it came on the heels of his first rough patch when he allowed 3 hits and 2 runs against Texas A&M-Corpus Christi.
- Texas Tech has managed only 6 hits in each of its last two games (.200 batting average) but has compensated with 11 walks. But there have also been 25 strikeouts among the 48 recorded outs.
- Gonzaga walked 8 batters on Tuesday, its fourth game this season with at least 8 free passes.
- The Bulldogs have produced 30 hits in their last three games that have translated into 19 runs. Harris has been the pacesetter, going 9-for-13 in that span.
- Texas Tech recorded 5 outs on the basepaths in Tuesdays contest.
- Texas Tech is tied for the longest home winning streak in the country at 18 wins and is going for the outright lead tonight.
