After scoring runs in five of nine frames on Friday night, the Texas Tech Red Raiders were shutout for the fourth time this season, 4-0, on Saturday afternoon at Kansas. It was the first shutout since March 24 at Nebraska when the Cornhuskers beat Tech, 11-0.
The Red Raiders threatened a number of times throughout the game, but Kansas starter Rusty Philbrick pitched out of the jam each time. Tech had a chance to score first in the second inning, but left the bases loaded. In the game, Texas Tech left three men on in the second and two on in the fourth, sixth, seventh and eighth innings.
After the Jayhawks scored the game's first run in the bottom of the fifth, Jason Rainey started the sixth with a triple to right-center. The triple was Rainey's eighth of the season which tied the single-season school mark last set by Jon Weber in 1999. Rainey was left at third after a line-out by Cory Sellars, a popped-up bunt by Mark Austry and a fly out by Eric McLamore.
Kansas scored a run in the seventh and two more in the eighth off Tech starter Kevin Tracey. Tracey suffered his sixth loss of the year after allowing four runs (three earned) on 12 hits, one walk and four strikeouts. He has thrown seven complete games and walked just one batter in his last 18.1 innings of work.
The finale of the three-game series will be tomorrow at 1 p.m. The game will be televised live on College Sports Southwest. Tech's next home game will be Tuesday night when the Red Raiders host Wayland Baptist at 7 p.m.
