Postgame Notes

March 02, 2008 | Baseball

Texas Tech had an all freshman battery today and both are products of Lubbock Monterey High School. Starting pitcher Chad Bettis graduated from Monterey in 2007 and was an eighth-round draft pick of the Houston Astros before choosing to attend Texas Tech. Starting catcher Jeremy Mayo is a redshirt freshman and a 2006 graduate of Monterey.
Rice extended its current win streak to 12 games over the Red Raiders as Tech last defeated the Owls back on April 6, 1996. Texas Tech still leads the all-time series 56-53.
Freshman RHP Chad Bettis earned a no-decision in his second outing of the season as he logged 6 2/3 strong innings allowing three earned runs (four total) on five hits, walked three batters and struckout three.
Shortstop Chris Hall committed three errors in the game and it marked the first time a Tech player had three since Cameron Blair did so against Nebraska back on May 15, 2005.
