LUBBOCK, Texas - Texas Tech junior first baseman Josh Brady has been named the Phillips 66 Big 12 Player of the Week after turning in a stellar performance this past week against Howard Payne and No. 12 Nebraska.
Brady, who earned the first Big 12 Player of the Week award back on Feb. 10, helped lead the Red Raiders to a 3-1 record last week as Tech dropped Howard Payne on Tuesday and then took 2-of-3 at No. 12 Nebraska. The series win at Nebraska was Tech's first in Lincoln and the first over the Huskers since the 1997 season.
Brady drove in eight runs with five hits, including a double, triple and homer as the Red Raiders became the first Big 12 team to win a weekend series against Nebraska at Hawks Field in Lincoln. He was 8-for-19 (.421) for the 3-1 week at Tech with a pair of home runs and nine RBI and helped the squad roll up 36 runs in the four contests. Texas Tech downed the Huskers 10-7 and 10-3 in the final two games to become the first team to capture a Big 12 series at NU since Missouri in 2001.
Texas Tech returns to action tonight at 6:30 p.m. as the Red Raiders host West Texas A&M at Dan Law Field.
