I’m back and ready to roll with a four-game series at home before conference play starts. Given the pace of the schedule I very much believe that head coach Tim Tadlock wants to play. As stated already, the interesting thing here is that this is a four-game series and Micah Dallas is pitching the 4th game on Monday.  Gonna be a busy weekend.

Official Site Preview:

The Red Raiders (10-3) enter the weekend winners of 10 consecutive games after a midweek sweep over Gonzaga. Tech is also 7-0 at home this season and has won 19-straight home games dating back to the 2019 season.

UConn (4-6) heads to Lubbock after wrapping up a four-game weekend in Conway, S.C., on Monday. The Huskies went 2-2 with a shutout of Miami (Ohio) and a one-run loss to Davidson before splitting a pair of tight battles at Coastal Carolina. Of UConn’s 10 games this season, eight have been decided by two runs or less.
