To be 20-7 is a really good feat for our team.”

Texas Tech struck first with a run in the first on an Ellie Bailey RBI double.

The Lobos answered with a two-run home run in the second, but the Red Raiders would take the lead for good in the bottom of the inning.

Makinzy Herzog’s two-run home run gave Texas Tech a 3-2 lead and they would keep it going with four more runs in the third.

Arriana Villa drove in the final run on a fielder’s choice. Villa and Kailey Wyckoff each has three hits a piece and the team finished with 12 in the win.

Sage Hoover pitched 3.2 scoreless innings to improve to 11-0 on the season.
