Texas Tech Sweeps into the Regionals:
On paper, the Texas Tech Red Raiders will be credited with a 2-0 sweep of the Middle Tennessee State Blue Raiders in the Wildcard, to advance to the Regionals.
In reality, said starting pitcher Juan Marichal, it was a lot harder-fought than that might suggest.
"They are a great team and although we won every game, it wasn't easy by any stretch of the imagination," he said.
Texas Tech won the final game by a 2-1 score at Reese Smith Jr. Field.
Marichal earned series MVP honors for the Red Raiders, with a 0.00 ERA over 8 innings pitched. He also had a 1-0 record and 11 strikeouts.
The Texas Tech Red Raiders will play against the Charlotte 49ers in the next round. Charlotte won their series against the Bowling Green Falcons 2 games to 0. The Regionals schedule will be announced after the Wildcard finishes.
