After losing three out of its first four, including an 8-4 loss to the Red Raiders last Tuesday, Dallas Baptist swept a very good Sam Houston State team to get back above .500. The Patriots are looking to keep that momentum going as they host Texas Tech for the second of two meetings between these teams.
The first meeting got off to a good start for the Red Raiders, scoring four in the bottom of the third before right-fielder George Specht launched a three-run bomb in the top half of the fourth. DBU would tie the game in the seventh, but surrendered four runs in the final three innings and ultimately lose the game.
First pitch for this game is set for 2:05 p.m. at Horner Ballpark in Dallas, Texas.
Probable Starters:
RHP Chase Hampton (1-0, 4.50) gets the starting nod for Texas Tech and will face RHP Kyle Rich (0-2, 4.91) for the Patriots.
