The No. 8 Texas Tech baseball team opens postseason play at the 2019 NCAA Lubbock Regional at 3 p.m. on Friday, May 31, against Army in front of a sold out Dan Law Field at Rip Griffin Park.
Every game of the 2019 NCAA Baseball Tournament will air on the ESPN family of networks, with the Lubbock Regional on ESPN3 and the ESPN app. As always, fans can listen to Red Raider games on the Texas Tech Sports Network on 97.3 FM, the 97.3 app, the TuneIn app and online at TexasTech.com. Live stats will be available via NCAA.com.
The Red Raiders will be taking on the fourth-seeded Black Knights (35-24) for the second time in program history on Friday afternoon. In-state foe Dallas Baptist is in the regional for the second time in three years, while the Red Raiders and Gators have met in both of Tech’s last two trips to Omaha.
The 2019 postseason marks the seventh time Tech has hosted in Lubbock. It is also the fourth-straight year the Red Raiders have hosted the first round of games – a school record – making Tech the only school in the country to accomplish the feat.
Overall, Texas Tech is 32-28 in NCAA Tournament play, with an 18-11 mark in Lubbock. Since 2014 under head coach TIm Tadlock, the Red Raiders are 19-12 in postseason action.
The Red Raiders were crowned Big 12 Champions for its regular season mark of 16-8. It’s the seventh conference title for the program and the third time Tech has captured the regular season championship in the last four years. No other Big 12 team has had a comparable run atop the league standings since 2009-11.
The winner of Texas Tech and Army will take on the winner of Dallas Baptist and Florida on Saturday, June 1, at 6 p.m., while the losers from both games will have a 12 p.m. start on Saturday.
