After being selected for its sixth-straight NCAA regional, Tech hits the road for the Statesboro Regional hosted by Georgia Southern. It’s new territory for the Red Raiders as they’ve hosted the previous five regionals in Lubbock – Texas Tech entered the 2022 season as the only program in the country to host every year since 2016.
Coverage will be provided by the ESPN Family of Networks with Mike Morgan providing the call, alongside Gaby Sanchez providing analysis, live from J.I. Clements Stadium. Friday’s broadcasts have been announced while the remainder remains to be determined. Texas Tech’s game versus Notre Dame will be broadcast on the ACC Network while Georgia Southern and UNC Greensboro will be on ESPN+. In spite of what network each contest is selected for, all games will be available on ESPN+. The broadcasts can be accessed from any desktop or laptop computer, any personal cellular device and television streaming services using the ESPN app. Registration for the subscription service can be found at ESPNPlus.com.
Texas Tech Sports Network will also broadcast the game over 46 affiliates throughout the state of Texas and New Mexico as Geoff Haxton will have the call alongside analyst, Jamie Lent.

Friday for No. 24 Texas Tech started at 2:02 p.m. and ended in heartbreak at 11:32 p.m. against No. 17 Notre Dame to cap day one of the Statesboro Regional. Under the night sky, the Red Raiders fell 3-2 in the afternoon regional that included a five-hour, 59-minute weather delay at J.I. Clements Stadium.
Trailing 3-2 in the top of the ninth, Red Raiders’ pinch-runner Cooper Swanson was stranded on third base as Owen Washburn was struck out looking to end a wild Friday in Georgia. The previous inning, the eighth, featured the only three runs either team scored in the second half of Friday’s affair as Tech tied the game in the top half (watch) and Notre Dame regained the lead in the home half.
