A subpar conference tournament appearance did not sway the powers that be from giving Tech a #5 national seed. This means that if Tech can win their regional, they will host the super regional as well.
The other 3 teams in our regional will be #2 Dallas Baptist, #3 New Mexico, and #4 Fairfield. Game 1 for the Red Raiders will against #4 Fairfield on Friday with a first pitch at 2:00pm.
#TexasTech will face Fairfield at 2 p.m. CT Friday on @ESPN3. #WreckEm pic.twitter.com/4lZAixCcNP
