LUBBOCK, Texas - This week marks the return to Dan Law Field for the Texas Tech baseball team - after going on a nine-game road swing - and also two big promotions for Texas Tech baseball fans at Dan Law Field.
Tuesday, April 27, the Red Raiders will turn back the clock at 6 p.m. hosting New Mexico, as Texas Tech will wear replica uniforms of the 1926 team. It will be the 11th consecutive year Tech has sported throw-back uniforms in a turn back the clock game.
