2012 BIG 12 STANDINGSINSIDE THE MARYLAND SERIESThe Red Raiders and Maryland have met twice in history with the two schools splitting the two meetings. Tech won the inaugural meeting against the Terrapins, 3-0, on Feb. 22, 2006 during the Palm Springs Tourna-ment before Maryland came back to defeat the Red Raiders, 3-2, on March 21, 2010 in the finale of the USF The Game Tournament. The loss was only Shanon Hays’ third at the time during his opening season in the Tech dugout. The Red Raiders are 5-7 all-time against current members of the Atlantic Coast Conference. Texas Tech vs. Maryland All-Time Series Date Location Result 2/22/06 Palm Spring, Calif. W, 3-0 3/21/10 Clearwater, Fla. L, 2-3

INSIDE THE WASHINGTON SERIESIf Tech and Washington were to face each other, it would eighth all-time meeting between the two schools and the first since 2008 when the Huskies swept the Red Raiders in a pair of neutral-site contests. Tech is just 1-6 all-time against Washington with all seven contests taking place in neutral-site tournaments. The Red Raiders’ only win in the series came in a 3-2 victory March 10, 2007 during Big 12/Pac-10 Challenge held in Tempe, Ariz. when the Huskies were ranked 10th in the country. Texas Tech vs. Washington All-Time Series Date Location Result 2/10/01 Phoenix, Ariz. L, 1-4 3/15/02 Fullerton, Calif. L, 3-10 2/14/04 Tempe, Ariz. L, 1-2 3/9/07 Tempe, Ariz. L, 0-1 3/10/07 Tempe, Ariz. W, 3-2 2/8/08 Las Vegas, Nev. L, 1-8 2/22/08 Albuquerque, N.M. L, 1-6

INSIDE THE HARVARD SERIESTech and Harvard are paired in the same regional for the second-straight season as the two schools were part of the Tucson Regional a year ago. The Red Raiders scored seven runs in the first inning en route to a 7-0 victory over the Crimson in the first elimination game of the regional. Tech went on to defeat New Mexico State later in the evening before falling to host Arizona in the regional finale the following day. Harvard is in the postseason for the second-consecutive year after winning the Ivy League. Texas Tech vs. Maryland All-Time Series Date Location Result 5/21/11 Tucson, Ariz. W, 7-0

ON DECKThe Washington Regional winner will advance to face the champion of the Berkley Regional where No. 1 ranked California is hosting Iona, Arkansas, and Boston University. The super regional round is set to run May 24-27 at campus sites throughout the country.

LOOKING BACKTech is coming off a week-long break following its series win over Oklahoma State, May 5-7, at Rocky John-son Field. The Red Raiders dropped the opening game, 5-0, before coming back with 8-4 and 2-1 victories. The series win was Tech’s fourth during Big 12 play and helped the Red Raiders reach the 40-win mark for the second-consecutive season and third time in program history. Tech ended the regular season ranked fifth in the Big 12 standings, the program’s highest finish since wrapping the 2001 season tied for third. The Red Raiders were one of six conference schools to earn a selection to the postseason.

RED RAIDERS IN POSTSEASON FOR THIRD-STRAIGHT YEAR UNDER HAYSAfter inheriting a program in 2010 that had not seen the postseason in eight seasons, Shanon Hays has com-pleted quite a turnaround in Lubbock. The third-year head coach is leading the Red Raiders to their third-straight postseason appearance and the fifth in school history. The Red Raiders have finished with at least 40 wins in each the last two seasons under Hays while Tech’s 13-10 mark in Big 12 play this year marks the program’s first winning conference record since 2001. Hays is the only coach in school history to lead Tech to multiple postseason appearances. His 120 wins already rank second all-time as well behind only Renee Luers-Gillespie’s 138-159-1 mark from the 1996-2000 seasons.

TECH ALL-TIME IN THE POSTSEASONThe Red Raiders have never advanced past the regional round in school history as Tech has fallen in the championship game in each of the past two seasons. Tech is 9-8 all-time in its previous four postseason ap-pearances from the 1999, 2001, 2010, and 2011 seasons. The Red Raiders have been eliminated by the host school in all but one trip with Fresno State starting the trend in 1999 and then Arizona doing so in both 2001 and 2011. Hawaii eliminated Tech in the championship game of the 2010 Stanford Regional.

CUSTER, HAMADA RETURN HOMEWhen the Red Raiders selection came across the television last Sunday evening, there were likely no smiles brighter than the ones from Ashley Hamada and Cara Custer. The two Washington natives will both be re-turning to their home state for the first time in their respective careers. Hamada hails from Touchet, Wash. which is four east of Seattle. Custer, meanwhile, is from Spanaway, which is less than an hour from the Uni-versity of Washington campus. This weekend’s trip to Seattle marks the first time any Tech team has traveled to the state of Washington in school history.

USA TODAY/NFCA TOP 25 POLL

ESPN/USA SOFTBALL TOP 25 POLL

KENNEY LEADS FOUR SELECTIONS TO ALL-BIG 12 TEAMSMikey Kenney led a group of four selections to the All-Big 12 teams Tuesday as the junior was honored on the first team in a vote by the conference coaches. It was the first time a Tech player had been first-team recipi-ent since Ashley Parker in 2007. She joined three second-team selections in Emily Bledsoe, Sandy James, and Adriana Perez. It was the first career postseason accolade for Perez, while Bledsoe and James were selected for the third and second-consecutive seasons. Tech’s four total selections marked the program’s most since 2004 when four Red Raiders were also honored.

PEREZ NAMED A FIRST-TEAM ALL-AMERICAN BY COLLEGE SPORTS MADNESSAdriana Perez kept the honors rolling in earlier this week as she was named a first-team All-American by the website College Sports Madness. Perez, who was also named the Field Player of the Year by the website, is the first Tech player to be recognized as an All-American since Amanda Renfro was a second-team pick by the NCAA in 2001. The junior was also named to the All-Big 12 first team with teammates Logan Hall and Mikey Kenney earning a selection to the second team.

RED RAIDERS POST SECOND-STRAIGHT 40-WIN SEASONThe Red Raiders recorded their second-straight 40-win season thanks to the series with over Oklahoma State in early May. Tech had previously reached the 40-win mark twice in school history as the Red Raiders finished 42-16 a year ago and then a program-best 45-19 in 1998. The Red Raiders advanced to an NCAA Regional with last year’s record but failed to make the postseason in 1998. Shanon Hays is the only Tech coach in pro-gram history to lead a team to the 40-win mark in multiple seasons.

STEPPING ON UP IN BIG 12 PLAYAfter recording just 12 wins total during Big 12 play over the last two years, Tech took a step up to league action this year as its 13-10 mark marked the program’s first winning conference record since 2001. The Red Raiders had reached 10 conference wins only twice prior to this season thanks to a 10-7 mark in 1998 and 10-8 record in 2001. Tech’s fifth-place finish in the conference standings marks its highest finish since tying for third during that 2001 season. It was also the third time in school history where the Red Raiders had finished among the top-five schools.

TECH SNAPS SINGLE-SEASON HOME RUN RECORDThe Red Raiders’ three home runs against Baylor in late April pushed Tech to 60 on the year, snapping last year’s single-season school record of 58. Tech went on to add four more long balls during the Oklahoma State series to push its total to 66 entering this weekend’s regional. The Red Raiders ended the regular season ranked 13th in the country in home runs per game and third in the Big 12, trailing only the 85 bombs that Oklahoma has recorded and the 67 from Texas A&M. Tech needs one more home run to enter the top 10 in Big 12 single-season history. The Red Raiders have totaled 163 home runs over Shanon Hays’ three seasons, more than twice the amount from the previous three seasons prior to his arrival in 2010.

PEREZ JUST ONE LONG BALL SHY OF JAMES’ RECORDAdriana Perez enters the Washington Regional needing just one more home run to match Sandy James’ single-season school record from a year ago after the junior connected on her 15th of the year against Baylor. Perez, who is currently tied for second all-time with Mikey Kenney (2010) and Kim Martinez (1997), sent a two-out grand slam over the fence in center during the Saturday game against the Bears, giving her 52 RBI on the year, another feat that ranks in the top five of the school record book. Perez now has 55 RBI on the year, which is tied for third in the single-season record book as well. James did not hit her 16th home run of the year until last season’s Tucson Regional.

TECH NEARLY UNBEATABLE WHEN LEADING IN THE SEVENTH INNINGThe Red Raiders have become nearly unbeatable under Shanon Hays when leading after the six innings. In Hays’ three seasons, Tech is 72-2 when taking a lead into the seventh with the lone two losses coming in a 9-7 loss at Oklahoma on April 15, 2010 and then a 5-4 decision to Kansas on April 28 in Lawrence. The Sooners rallied to score four runs in the final inning to score the win while the Jayhawks had to overcome a one-run deficit. The Red Raiders had gone 53-straight games since the Oklahoma game without losing when leading after six innings until falling to the Jayhawks earlier this year.

BAYLOR ENDS 13-GAME STRETCH AGAINST THE TOP 25The Baylor series ended a 13-game stretch against ranked opponents for the Red Raiders, who went 7-6 during that time with series wins over No. 9 Missouri and No. 25 Baylor along with a midweek game against No. 5 Texas. Tech is now 9-10 against the top 25 this year and 7-8 during Big 12 play alone. The Baylor series marked the final series against a ranked opponent during the regular season as neither Kansas or Oklahoma State are receiving votes in this week’s poll.

CUSTER BECOMES MOST SUCCESSFUL TECH FRESHMAN PITCHER SINCE RENFRODespite being in only her first collegiate season, Cara Custer has already achieved as much success as any other Tech pitcher in the last decade. The freshman, who is 25-10 on the year, is only the second Tech pitcher in school history to reach the 20-win mark in a single season, joining the great Amanda Renfro who accom-plished the feat three times from 1998-2001. Renfro is the only Tech player to have a number retired after she totaled 93 wins from 1998-2001, leading Tech to two postseason appearances during that span as well. Custer enters this weekend in sole possession of second in the Tech single-season record book, nine wins shy of Renfro’s 2001 school record. She passed Renfro’s 1998 freshman mark of 23 wins earlier this season after a picking up a pair of victories against Baylor. Custer finished the regular season ranked third in the Big 12 for wins, three back of Keilani Ricketts of Oklahoma and Mel Dumezich of Texas A&M.

TEXAS TECH ENDS REGULAR SEASON RANKED NO. 23 IN RPI Tech wrapped up the regular season ranked No. 23 in the RPI rankings that are widely used to determine postseason selections and seeding. The Red Raiders began the year at No. 29 before moving up a spot the next week and then eventually as high as No. 21. Tech ranks fifth among Big 12 schools in the new poll, trail-ing Texas (No. 5), Oklahoma (No. 6), Texas A&M (No. 8), and Missouri (No. 14). The Red Raiders wrapped the 2011 season ranked 30th in the poll, earning a NCAA Regional selection for the second-straight year in the process.

HALL ENDS REGULAR SEASON AS BIG 12 DOUBLES LEADERLogan Hall finished the regular season as the Big 12 doubles leader as the senior totaled 16 during the year, two more than Maggie Hull of Kansas. Hall had seven doubles during Big 12 play alone, moving her career total to 43 over three seasons. Hall currently ranks second all-time in school history for doubles behind team-mate Emily Bledsoe who has 48 over her career. Following a relatively slow start to the season, Hall posted seven doubles during the month of March alone before opening April with a first-inning double in the Sun-day game against Iowa State. She is now hitting .276 on the year with 24 runs scored and 16 RBI.

HAMADA MAKING HIGHLIGHT-WORTHY CATCHES A REGULARITYWhile many will remember Sandy James’ sixth-inning grand slam that gave Tech an 8-6 lead over A&M in the series finale, it was Ashley Hamada who possibly saved the day. After being swept in a doubleheader the previous day, Hamada made two diving catches in the game, most notably a two-out grab at the right field wall that possibly kept the tying run from coming across had the ball dropped. In addition to her work with the glove, Hamada also started Tech’s sixth-inning rally with a single, setting the stage for James to launch her third career grand slam later in the frame.

TALLEY TOSSES ONE-HIT SHUTOUT AGAINST TIGERSBrittany Talley possibly tossed the greatest performance of her young career April 13 as the sophomore lim-ited Missouri to one hit in the complete-game shutout. To make it more impressive, Talley kept the Tigers off the bases while only recording one strikeout in the outing. Missouri had only two hitters reach base thanks to a first-inning triple and a seventh-inning fielding error. Talley wrapped the weekend with five shutout in-nings in the series finale before a leadoff home run in the sixth ended her day. She surrendered just six total hits and the one run in 12.0 total innings.

PEREZ CONTINUES TO CREATE HAVOC IN MIDDLE OF THE LINEUPAdriana Perez continues to cause problems for opposing pitchers as she is now hitting .350 on the year with 15 home runs and a team-high 55 RBI. The junior enters this weekend’s regional eighth in the Big 12 for hits (55) while also ranking among the top performers in batting average (.350) home runs (15), RBI (55), total bases (108), and slugging percentage (.663). Perez, who had a 14-game hitting streak going until the Oklahoma series, is just one home run shy of Sandy James’ single-season school record set just a year ago.

INDIVIDUAL NOTESu Mikey Kenney remains among the Big 12 leaders in stolen bases this week as the junior is 14-for-15 in attempts this year and 33-for-34 over her career. She is just one stolen base shy of her total from a year ago where she went 15-for-15 in attempts. u Kenney and Emily Bledsoe both snapped the school’s career record for runs scored against the Cyclones, passing Paula Workman who came across 135 times from 1997-2000. Kenney ended the weekend with 139 runs scored with Bledsoe trailing just one run behind. u After her double during the Oklahoma State series, Bledsoe entered the top 10 in Big 12 history as it was her 48th of her career. Already the school’s all-time leader in the category, Bledsoe has totaled 10 doubles on the year, second-most on the team only behind Big 12-leader Logan Hall. u Bledsoe was hit by a pitch for the 14th time this season last weekend against the Cowgirls. She has been hit more times than any Big 12 player this season. No Tech player had been hit 10 or more times previously since Robyn Wike was plunked 16 times during the 2007 season.u Bledsoe moved to third all-time in career hits during the Oklahoma series as she passed current volun-teer assistant coach Leah Legler. Bledsoe now has 197 hits over four seasons, three shy of Ashley Parker who totaled 200 hits during the 2004-07 seasons.u Bledsoe and Hall are battling back and forth to see who may end their career as the school’s all-time RBI leader. Bledsoe, who has 113 RBI over four seasons, needs just one more to tie Paula Workman (1997-2000) for the school record while Hall needs two more to match the record. u Emily Cooper connected on her first career extra-base hit and first RBI all in one swing against Missouri as she opened Tech’s scoring in its 5-4 victory over the Tigers with a double to left field. Cooper has started each of the past 12 of the past 13 games in left field. u Cara Custer’s save against Oklahoma marked her third of the season, moving her into the a tie for third in the Big 12, one back of Kansas’ Alicia Pille. She is one save shy of tying Erin Crawford (2006) for the school single-season record.

PENCIL BLEDSOE IN THE LINEUPDuring Cal Ripken, Jr.’s historic stretch with the Baltimore Orioles, he earned the iconic nickname “Iron Man” after breaking the major league record for 2,632 consecutive games played. While not nearing Ripken’s mark, Emily Bledsoe has impressed many not just for her glove or bat but for her toughness as well. The Fulshear, Texas native has started in all 226 games since her freshman season in 2009. With her start against Midwest-ern State, Bledsoe passed Heather Parker (2004-07) for seventh on the career games played chart. If Bledsoe were to start in each of Tech’s final six games, she would wrap her career ranked fifth in the record book.

DON’T FORGET TALLEYEven with Cara Custer’s emergence early in the season, Tech would not be 40-15 on the year without the consistency of sophomore Brittany Talley. The left-hander, who provides a good 1-2 punch in the rotation with Custer, is 11-4 on the year with a 2.27 earned-run average. In 18 starts this season, Talley has given up more than one earned run only five times. She has tossed six complete games on the year, including two shutouts, in 120.1 innings of work.

KENNEY SETS CAREER HOME RUN RECORDAfter setting the Tech career home run record against Stony Brook March 14, Mikey Kenney continued to add to her record in the Seton Hall Classic, pounding her team-leading 10th dinger of the year against the host Pirates during pool play. Kenney now has 32 home runs in her career, five more than previous record holder Kim Martinez who totaled 27 during the 1997 and 1999 seasons. Her 13 home runs on the year currently rank ninth in the Big 12.

PEREZ NAMED BIG 12 CO-PLAYER OF THE WEEKAfter hitting .714 with four home runs and 12 RBI against Midwestern State and Iowa State, Adriana Perez was named the Big 12 Co-Player of the Week on April 3, the second weekly award honor for Tech this season. Perez frustrated opposing pitchers as she was 10-for-14 at the plate while posting at least two hits and two RBI in all four games. The junior concluded the weekend with an eighth-inning walk-off home run that sent Tech to a three-game sweep of Iowa State. Perez shared the award with Oklahoma’s Lauren Chamberlain. Sandy James is the other Tech player to earn the award this year after picking up the accolade on Feb. 21.

BLEDSOE FINDS THE LONG BALL AGAINST THE CYCLONESEmily Bledsoe took advantage of the long ball during Tech’s sweep of Iowa State as the senior hit three home runs in the series, including two during Tech’s 5-2 victory in the series finale. Bledsoe now has four home runs on the year and 17 for her career which is tied for seventh in school history. She was hitting .432 during Tech’s 13-game winning streak as she has scored 14 runs and posted 13 RBI during that span. The successful week-end brought Bledsoe’s average up to .305, marking the first time she has reached the .300 mark this season.

RYBA RETURNS TO THE LINEUPAfter 14 games away from the field, Melisa Ryba returned the field at the Seton Hall Classic, crushing a three-run homer in the first plate appearance. She came off the bench in all five games that weekend, replacing Katelyn Williams in the lineup to go 5-for-11 at the plate. The junior kept the hot-hitting going against Mid-western State as she went 1-for-2 at the plate with a second-inning home run that carried over the score-board in right field. Ryba earned her first start in the game since facing Idaho State Feb. 18 in Las Vegas. Prior to the Seton Hall Classic, Ryba had not previously seen action since facing UTEP on Feb. 25 in Waco.

CUSTER THROWS FIRST CAREER NO-HITTERCuster tossed her first career no-hitter in Tech’s second game of the Seton Hall Classic, a 11-0 run-rule of the host Pirates. It marked the eighth no-hitter in school history and the first since Kermitria Ward held Dayton

hitless on March 6 last year. She became just the third Tech freshman to record a no-hitter, joining Ward and fellow teammate Brittany Talley. Custer struck out a season-high nine Pirates in the outing before coming back two days later to keep Seton Hall hitless all the way till the third inning when Colltey Sheldon slapped an infield single. The Spanaway, Wash. native was named the tourna-ment’s top pitcher following the game.

SPRING BREAK GOOD FOR TECH’S AVERAGESTo say the Tech offense enjoyed a successful Spring Break at the plate might be an understatement. During Tech’s nine games during the week, Tech hit .374 as a team, totaling 14 home runs and 71 runs during that span, outscoring oppo-nents 71-19 overall. The Red Raiders had eight players with 10 or more at-bats post at least a .300 average at the plate, led by Raven Richardson’s .600 mark. Texas Tech Over Spring Break AB H AVG.

HAYS EARNS WIN NO. 100 AT TEXAS TECHShanon Hays picked up his 100th victory while the head coach at Texas Tech with the Red Raiders’ 4-1 win in the series opener at Stony Brook. Tech went on to win the second game as well, moving Hays to 101-41 at the time in two-plus seasons at Tech. The Lubbock native, who is 218-57 in five seasons as a collegiate coach, trails only Renee Luers-Gillespie as the school’s all-time winningest coach. Gil-lespie went 136-159-1 during just over four seasons from 1996-2000.

BLEDSOE HEATS UP DURING TRIP TO NEW YORKAfter struggling for the first part of the season, Emily Bledsoe was able to string several hits together during Tech’s trip the New York area, compiling a .476 aver-age (10-for-21) over the seven-game stretch. Bledsoe also scored six runs during that time while adding five RBI and three doubles. She now has 44 doubles for her career, the most in Tech history, which leave her four shy of entering the Big 12 record book as well. The performance helped Bledsoe move her season aver-age to .284 overall, the highest its been all year.

TECH BATS COME TO LIFE AGAINST NEW MEXICOHeading into the New Mexico doubleheader, Shanon Hays had hoped his of-fense would have produced a few more runs so far this season. He got his wish early on against the 23rd Lobos as Tech set a new season high in hits during the first game en route to scoring a total of 17 runs over the two games. The Red Raiders capitalized on two separate seven-run innings which allowed Tech to break the first game open in the third before using another seven-run frame in the fourth to bounce back from an early 3-0 deficit in the finale.

“THE ROCK” GETS ADDITIONAL SEATINGTexas Tech fans have the added comfort of not having to fight for a seat this season as over 500 seats were added to Rocky Johnson Field in the offseason. The seating addition replaced the grass berms that previously stood above both dugouts and over both bullpen areas. The facility currently has seating for 1,165 fans with room to add portable seating as well.

OFFENSE SHINES IN OPENING WEEKENDAfter hitting just .240 over the first 16 games of the season, the Red Raiders responded with a .386 average over six games against Binghamton and UT-Ar-lington, bringing their season average up 42 points in the process. Tech, which ranked fourth nationally in scoring offense and batting average last year, had at least 10 hits in four of six games en route to an undefeated weekend. Mikey Ken-ney led the way with a .533 average on the weekend that included three home runs and four stolen bases. Logan Hall trailed close behind after going 11-for-21 with three RBI and six runs scored. Tech is 13-1 this year when scoring three or more runs.

RED RAIDERS REBOUND NICELY IN VEGASAfter what many considered a disappointing 1-4 start to the season, the Red Raiders rebounded rather nicely in Las Vegas, going 6-0 while defeat-ing three teams that advanced to the postseason a year ago in Long Beach State, Portland State, and DePaul along with Ohio State who was receiv-ing votes in the top 25 polls at the time. Tech faced six schools that made the postseason last year in its first 11 games, going 4-2 in those contests.

JAMES NAMED BIG 12 PLAYER OF THE WEEKAfter hitting over .400 with a pair of home runs, Sandy James was named the Big 12 Player of the Week Tuesday, marking the second time the junior has earned the honor. She hit .409 at the Louisville Slugger Desert Classic while driving in nine RBI to lead the Red Raider offense. She becomes the first Red Raider in school history to be named the league’s Player of the Week twice. She is also just the second Tech player to earn a weekly award on multiple occasions, join-ing Amanda Renfro who was named the Pitcher of the Week five times over the 1998-01 seasons.

HAYS EARNS WIN NO. 200The Red Raiders’ 2-1 win over DePaul marked win No. 200 for head coach Shanon Hays as the third-year head coach is now 205-55 in four-plus seasons as a col-legiate coach. Hays, who is 91-39 at Tech, recently passed Teresa Wilson for third on the winningest Tech coaches list as Wilson went 89-123 during the 2005-08 seasons.

UNFAMILIAR TERRITORYThe Red Raiders entered unfamiliar territory in Las Vegas as Tech had never gone into a game with a losing record under head coach Shanon Hays. Tech lost only five non-conference games over the last two seasons, including only one in 2011 alone. The Red Raiders had a tough weekend in Arizona, though, falling to Northwestern, No. 14 Tennessee, No. 9 Stanford, and Cal Poly in what is the worst start to a season since the 2008 squad opened the year with 12-straight losses. Tech’s four-game losing streak to regular season non-conference opponents also marks its longest since late in the 2009 season.

BLEDSOE A CANDIDATE FOR LOWE’S SR. CLASSEarlier this season, Emily Bledsoe was named one of 30 candidates for the pres-tigious Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award that is presented annually to the softball stu-dent-athlete that excels not only on the diamond but also in the classroom and community. The 30 candidates will be trimmed to 10 finalists midway through the season with the winner being named following a nationwide vote at the Women’s College World Series.

BUILDING THAT RPIPart of Tech’s success over the last two seasons in getting to a NCAA Regional has stemmed from its difficult regular season schedule. Tech played six non-confer-ence teams last year that made the postseason and is set to face seven this year with three of those games taking place at the Kajikawa Classic. The Red Raiders dropped San Diego State, 5-4, before falling to both No. 14 Tennessee and No. 9 Stanford, who both earned national seeds a year ago. Tech faced three more re-gional squads from a year ago last weekend as Long Beach State, Portland State, and DePaul all made the postseason in 2011.

RED RAIDERS FACE QUALITY ARMS IN ARIZONAIf there was one certainty from Tech’s opening weekend at the Kajikawa Classic, it was that Tech faced two of the country’s top pitchers in Tennessee’s Ellen Ren-fro and Stanford’s Teagan Gerhart. The duo combined to hold Tech to just one run which came off a Mikey Kenney solo home run in the second inning off the Cardinal. Renfro was the SEC Freshman of the Year last season after compiling a 26-7 record, while Gerhart earned All-Pac 12 first team honors after going 26-13 in the circle.

TECH PICKS UP VOTES IN PRESEASON POLLSFor the second-straight season, Texas Tech started the season receiving votes in both the USA Today/NFCA and the ESPN/USA Softball preseason polls. The Red Raiders picked up five votes in the NFCA poll and then six in the ESPN rankings. One of seven Big 12 schools appearing in the polls, Tech will face a total of 14 teams this season that are ranked or receiving votes in the preseason rankings.

RED RAIDERS FACE CHALLENGE IN THE DESERTThe Red Raiders had a tough task at hand at the Kajikawa Classic as four of their five opponents were ranked or receiving votes in the preseason rankings. Stan-ford led the pack after being ranked No. 9 by the NFCA and No. 10 by ESPN.com, while Tennessee is No. 14 in the NFCA poll and No. 9 in the ESPN rankings. San Diego State was receiving votes in both polls while Northwestern picked up two votes in the ESPN rankings. Tennessee, Stanford, and San Diego State were all selected to a NCAA Regional last year with the Lady Vols and Cardinal eventually advancing to the Super Regionals.



RED RAIDERS RETURN 15 PLAYERS FROM 2011 With 15 returners back from its 2011 squad, Tech could be primed for another breakout season in 2012. Of those 15 returners, eight were position starters a year ago while Tech’s top two pitchers, senior Kelsey Dennis and sophomore Brit-tany Talley, also return in the circle. The Red Raiders had no seniors on their roster last year when Tech finished 42-16 overall after falling to Arizona in the finale of the NCAA Tucson Regional.

TAKING THE NEXT STEPImmediately following Tech’s season-ending loss to Arizona in the NCAA Tucson Regional, head coach Shanon Hays had one message for his young team - to take the next step in 2012. Advancing to the postseason would no longer just be the goal. Knowing the majority of that squad would return this year, he challenged the group to win a regional this season, a feat that has not been accomplished in school history. The Red Raiders have fallen in the regional finale in each of the last two seasons.

TECH BOASTS A RECORD EIGHT SENIORSAfter only having a total of two seniors on the roster during his first two seasons, Shanon Hays will have a senior-laden squad for the first time as eight seniors return for their final season in scarlet and black. No Tech team had previously boasted more than six seniors on its roster since softball returned as an intercol-legiate sport in 1996. The only two seniors in Hays’ tenure were in 2010 when Ashly Jacobs and Leah Legler completed their eligibility. Both are still associated with the program this season with Jacobs filling the role of graduate student manager and Legler as the volunteer assistant coach.

TECH RETURNS ONE OF NATION’S TOP LINEUPSThe majority of last year’s lineup that hit .361 and ranked fourth nationally in both batting average and scoring average returns this season as the Red Raiders bring back eight position starters from a year ago. Tech set the Big 12 Confer-ence record last year with its .361 batting average as seven regulars in the lineup hit .300 or better during the season. Raven Richardson led all hitters with a .384 mark followed closely behind by Emily Bledsoe and her .383 average.

BLEDSOE NAMED TO PRESEASON WATCH LISTSenior Emily Bledsoe was named to the USA Softball Player of the Year Watch List prior to the season, joining 49 players nationwide including 10 from the Big 12 Conference. Bledsoe, a Fulshear, Texas native, hit a career-high .383 as a junior and is already a fixture in the school’s record book. She is the first Tech player to be named to any preseason watch list in school history.

TECH HITS THE ROAD FOR NON-CONFERENCEAfter playing the majority of non-conference games at home the past two sea-sons, the Red Raiders will be hitting the road more often this year with four non-conference tournaments away from Lubbock. Following Tech’s trip to Tempe to open the season the Red Raiders will travel to Las Vegas (Feb. 17-19) for the Louisville Slugger Desert Classic, Waco (Feb. 24-26) for the Texas Shootout, and South Orange, N.J. (March 16-18) for the Seton Hall Classic.

HAYS LOOKS TO CUSTER FOR BOOST IN CIRCLEWhen pitching coach Aly Sartini was out recruiting the Las Vegas area in the summer of 2010, she sat in by chance on the Washington Lady Hawks travel team where this young right-hander with great velocity and good movement was retiring hitters left and right. Sartini along with Shanon Hays immediately began recruiting that right-hander, current freshman Cara Custer, early and se-cured her commitment before several of the top programs across the country came calling. Now, the Tech coaching staff is expecting the Spanaway, Wash. na-tive to be a dominating presence in the circle for a Tech pitching staff that had a 3.50 ERA a year ago.

RED RAIDERS ADD JUCO CATCHER OF THE YEARTech continued to add hitters in the offseason with the signing of two-time California JUCO Catcher of the Year Adriana Perez. One of the top junior college prospects in the country last year, Perez is expected to bolster an already-deep catcher staff that consists of seniors Holley Gentsch and Cydney Allen along with junior Randi Tongate. Perez hit over .500 in each of her two seasons at Antelope Valley College in California, totaling 31 home runs and 117 RBI during that two year stretch.

RYBA RETURNS TO DIAMOND AFTER YEAR OFFMelisa Ryba will be returning to the softball diamond for the first time since the 2010 season this weekend as the redshirt junior sat out the 2011 season due to NCAA transfer rules. Ryba, who could play varies positions for Tech, transferred from Northern Colorado after hitting .323 as a sophomore with seven home runs and 32 RBI. She was named an All-Independent Co-Freshman of the Year in 2009 before Northern Colorado joined the Pacific Coast Softball Conference in 2010 when she was a second team PCSC All-Mountain selection.

BIG 12 PLAY TURNS TO THREE-GAME SERIESFor the first time in Big 12 history, all conference series will be three games each. The league had previously gone with a two-game format and a postseason con-ference tournament until the 2011 season when the tournament was cut. There will be a total of 24 conference games, six more than the 2010 season. With the departure of Nebraska, the league is a nine-team conference as Kansas State does not sponsor softball.

TECH PICKED 7TH IN BIG 12 PRESEASON POLLEven with lofty expectations and the majority of its 2011 squad back for another season, Texas Tech was picked seventh in the Big 12 preseason poll of confer-ence coaches. The league is coming off a record year where eight teams (of 10) advanced to the postseason with four of those eventually composing the eight-team Women’s College World Series. Missouri was the preseason favorite to take the league title followed by Oklahoma and then Texas. Team (first-place votes) Points 1. Missouri (3) 59 2. Oklahoma (4) 56 3. Texas (1) 50 4. Baylor 45 5.

In three seasons as Texas Tech’s head softball coach, Shanon Hays has taken the Red Raiders to three-straight NCAA Regional appearances, breaking a nine-year postseason absence and laying the framework for a program on the rise in the process. After inheriting a squad that was only 15-42 in 2009, Hays has led the Red Raiders to three-straight 30-plus win seasons, including a 42-16 campaign in 2011 that marked the highest winning percentage in school history. Prior to Hays’ arrival, Tech had only advanced to the postseason twice in program history with its last trip being in 2001, which was also its most-previous season with a winning record. Tech’s 120-49 record under Hays nearly matches the school’s total from the previous six seasons prior to his arrival as the Red Raid-ers won 126 games from 2004-09. Most importantly, though, the Red Raiders have been in the postseason

each season, advancing to the NCAA Stanford Regional in 2010, Tucson Regional in 2011, and the Washing-ton Regional in 2012. Tech fell in the regional finale each of his first two seasons as eventual College World Series participant Hawaii ended the squad’s run in 2010 while host Arizona dropped the Red Raiders in 2011. No Tech squad had previously advanced to a regional in consecutive seasons, nor had any team previ-ously appeared in the top 25 rankings. The Red Raiders changed that on Feb. 15, 2011 as they appeared in the top 25 of both polls, breaking a drought that lasted over a decade. Tech, which had not been ranked previously in either poll since the end of the 1999 season, climbed as high as No. 19 throughout the year, the highest ranking in school history. Under Hays, Tech has consistently produced one of the top lineups in the nation as the Red Raiders spent most of the 2011 season with the highest batting average in the nation before ending the year fourth overall. The squad’s 7.17 runs per game ranked fourth as well in scoring nationally, while its .533 slugging percentage was just inside the top 10 nationally in ninth. With that type of production up and down the lineup, the Red Raiders have snapped 13 single-season offensive marks in the school record book, including the previous highs for batting average, runs, hits, dou-bles, home runs, and RBI. While playing in a conference dominated by pitching, Tech has only been shutout 11 times under Hays as the Red Raiders have been among the Big 12 leaders in most offensive categories as well. Four players - Cydney Allen, Emily Bledsoe, Logan Hall, and Mikey Kenney - have been honored on either the All-Big 12 second team or on the NFCA postseason awards lists following each season. Tech’s transformation should come as little surprise after Hays’ work at Lubbock Christian. Following his appointment as the program’s first head softball coach in 2006, Hays worked for a full academic year in preparation for LCU’s first season in 2008. The Lady Chaps did not disappoint in their inaugural season, compiling a 60-9 record and claiming the NAIA National Championship, earning Hays NAIA National Coach of the Year honors. Hays wrapped his two-year tenure at LCU with a 114-16 overall record after advancing to the national championship again in 2009. Known as a top-flight recruiter and motivator, Hays was named the Sooner Athletic Conference Coach of the Year both seasons and produced five NFCA and NAIA first team All-Americans during his tenure. Hays turned to softball after a successful career as a basketball coach that included two seasons on the Texas Tech bench as an assistant coach from 1999-2001 under James Dickey. He is the first person at Texas Tech to coach two completely different sports (one men’s and now one women’s). Hays began playing fastpitch softball as a youth, along with baseball and basketball, because his fa-ther, the legendary Texas Tech and LCU baseball coach Larry Hays, also played fastpitch softball. Hays, the elder, whose 1,509 career wins were good enough for fourth on the all-time collegiate baseball list, retired as Tech’s all-time winningest coach prior to the 2009 season. He graduated from Lubbock Monterey High School in 1986 and makes his home in Lubbock with his wife, Tina, two sons, Hunter, Heath, and daughter, Hampton.

MEDIA CLIPPINGSLady Raiders headed to NCAA Seattle regional

May 13, 2012David JustLubbock Avalanche-Journal

Tears of joy streamed down Cara Custer’s face Sunday night during the NCAA softball selection show.

Texas Tech’s freshman pitcher will get a trip home this weekend, when the 22nd-ranked Red Raiders face Maryland in the Seattle regional. Custer, who came to Lubbock from Spanaway, Wash., a 40-minute drive from Seattle, was ecstatic.

“I started crying because I was so happy to go,” Custer said. “I miss home. I really miss it.”

The Red Raiders gathered in the Texas Tech softball facility Sunday night to watch the selection show. Tech was a lock to make its third straight postseason — the only question remaining was where it would go.

“It was firm this year,” coach Shanon Hays said. “The last few years we were ner-vous about whether we were getting in or not. It was fun knowing we were get-ting in and just being curious where we were going to go.”

Joining Tech in Seattle will be 16th-ranked host Washington, Harvard and Mary-land. The Red Raiders will play the Terrapins on Friday at a time to be determined.

Tech was the top two seed in the field thanks to its strong strength of schedule and RPI.

“That shows us a lot of respect,” Hays said. “It shows our conference a lot of re-spect.”

Four Big 12 Conference teams will host regionals. Oklahoma, Texas, Texas A&M and Missouri were among the top nine in the nation.

Tech, which earned the fifth postseason bid in program history, went to region-als in 2010 and 2011 but has never been to a super regional.Tech has a slim chance of hosting the super regional if it advances. The Red Raiders would need top-seeded California to be upset in its own re-gional.

“Hopefully we can win the first game and take some pressure off and make that second day a big day against Washington,” Hays said. “That’s really key is winning that first day.”

Tech has lost its opening game each of the last two years.

The trip to Washington will also be a homecoming for Tech outfielder Ashley Hamada, a product of Touchet, Wash., which she said is a four-hour drive from Seattle.

“I remember a couple years ago it was rumored (we would go to Seattle) and I thought it would be amazing if it ever happened,” Hamada said. “For it to actually happen is pretty awesome.”

Maryland (34-20) took first place in the ACC this season and lost in the opening round of its conference tournament.

Washington (36-17) went 7-16 in the Pac-12 Conference and finished eighth. The Huskies have lost eight of their last 12 games.

Harvard is a familiar foe for Tech. The Red Raiders beat the Crimson, 7-0, during last year’s regional in Tucson.

Hays said he was surprised at Tech’s placement but certainly not disappointed.

“You know I thought they would put us down at UCLA or Arizona State or Ari-zona just because it’s a closer trip,” Hays said. “But they went true to the seeds and put us against the No.16 host Washington, so we’re happy to go there.”

After reaching milestone against Cowgirls, Red Raiders are confi-dent they can win many more games

May 7, 2012Nick KosmiderLubbock Avalanche-Journal

After Texas Tech polished off a 2-1 win against Oklahoma State on Monday to cap its second straight season with 40 wins, the celebration included nothing more than the usual rendition of the alma mater and a few high fives.

This was the look of a team that believes its biggest achievements are still on the horizon.

“Obviously, the College World Series is the ultimate goal,” senior third baseman Emily Bledsoe said. “I think all the girls are champing at the bit to get going with regionals and play their hearts out.”

The Red Raiders finished with a winning record in Big 12 Conference play (13-10) for the first time since 2001, and they have immediately focused their sights on the NCAA tournament regionals. Tech will find out where it will begin its post-season during a selection show at 9 p.m. Sunday.

Tech closed out the regular season with a series win after dropping the opener, 5-0, on Friday. In the shutout loss, the Red Raiders — who bounced back to win the second game on Sunday, 8-4 — were stifled by Oklahoma State pitcher Kat Espinosa, who was strong again Monday.

The Red Raiders managed only three hits, but they took advantage of opportuni-ties to manufacture offense in the early going, playing small ball to score a run each in the first and second innings.

In the first, Logan Hall reached on a fielder’s choice, moved to second on Mikey Kenney’s single, went to third on a wild pitch and scored on Adriana Perez’s sacri-fice fly. The Red Raiders added their only other run in the second on an RBI single from Raven Richardson. The hit scored Kermitria Ward, who pinch-ran for Cydney Allen (walk) and promptly stole second base. She then moved to third on an er-ror before crossing the plate on Richardson’s single.

“It was just three hits, but we did some things early that we didn’t do Friday night against a good pitcher,” Tech coach Shanon Hays. “We ran the bases well, got a bunt down and took advantage of some opportunities. It seemed like we had more (hits) than that. It was one of those games.”

The early runs were enough for freshman pitcher Cara Custer, who was effective despite struggling at times with her command. Custer walked six against four strikeouts, but she surrendered only five hits — three of the infield variety — and Oklahoma State’s lone run came on Chelsea Garcia’s RBI infield single in the fifth.

Custer (25-10, 2.31) has been instrumental to Tech’s success during her first sea-son in Lubbock, and her contributions will be key if the Red Raiders hope to make a deep postseason run. (Tech has never advanced to a super regional.)

“Cara really improved in non-conference and then has leveled off and been pret-ty good the whole time,” Hays said. “What we want to see her do is take another jump up to where she can be a dominant pitcher.”

Tech has finished its regular season a week earlier than some Big 12 Conference teams due to final exams, so the Red Raiders will have two weeks off before it plays another game. Hays conceded that the layoff can be a concern, but he expects his experienced squad to bring the right approach to practice in prepa-ration for the NCAA tournament.

“We just have to stay focused,” Perez said. “Every time we come out here to prac-tice now, we just need to work on the little things, pretty much the basics. Just come out here and do what we need to do to prepare ourselves for regionals.”



MEDIA CLIPPINGSTech tops Baylor in walk-off

April 22, 2012Nick KosmiderLubbock Avalanche-Journal

The Big 12 Conference leader in doubles picked one heck of a time to add to her total.

Texas Tech infielder Logan Hall belted a two-run, game-tying double — her 15th — in the bottom of the seventh inning, then scored moments later on Mikey Kenney’s walk-off single, and the No. 24 Red Raiders edged No. 25 Baylor, 6-5, on Sunday to earn a critical series win.

Tech (37-13, 10-8 in Big 12) trailed by two runs entering its final at-bat, but when Hall stepped up with two on and two outs, she took a confident hack on the first pitch from Baylor right-hander Courtney Repka and drove it into the left-center field gap, plating a pair to tie the game.

Hall made a key adjustment in the pressure-laced at-bat against Repka, who had been jamming the Red Raiders with inside-corner strikes all afternoon.

“I asked Coach (Shanon Hays) if I could step off the plate, because she had been jamming me in all day,” Hall said. “He said, ‘It’s your call,’ so I stood in my spot, just saw it and hit it.”

Then Kenney joined the heroics, by slapping a 2-0 offering from Repka into left field, giving Hall just enough time to score from second, beating the throw home without a slide while sending the crowd at Rocky Johnson Field into a frenzy.

“I knew Coach would send her home no matter what,” said Kenney, who also hit a solo home run in the fourth, her 13th. “Logan’s really quick, and it’s worth a chance to try and win the game.”

The victory was a critical RPI boost for Tech, which faces only unranked oppo-nents (at Kansas, Oklahoma State) in the final two weeks of the regular season. The Red Raiders finished their homestand against No. 19 Texas A&M and Baylor at 3-3.

“All good teams find out ways to pick up some wins,” Hays said. “We’re starting to be a good team. The past couple of weeks we’ve played some good small ball, won some 3-1 type games, and figured out a way to manufacture runs and win in a lot of ways.”

Tech had some help manufacturing its three runs in the seventh. Raven Richardson led off with an infield single and moved to second on an error by shortstop Jordan Strickland. Holley Gentsch followed with what should have been a pop fly out, but second baseman Kathy Shelton collided with right fielder Kaitlyn Thumann, and the ball fell to the turf.

After Ashley Hamada’s sacrifice bunt moved the runners over, Emily Bledsoe popped out. That set the stage for Hall and Kenney, who delivered Tech’s second walk-off win of the season.

The Red Raiders will begin a three-game road series against Kansas at 5 p.m. Friday.

Richardson, Custer lead Tech softball past No. 5 Texas

April 11, 2012David JustLubbock Avalanche-Journal

Raven Richardson had no idea what Blaire Luna’s 1-0 pitch in the fourth inning was Wednesday at Rocky Johnson Field.

What she did know, though, was the home run that followed was the turning point in Texas Tech’s 5-2 victory against No. 5 Texas, snapping a nine-game losing streak against the rival Longhorns.

“I don’t know the pitch,” Richardson said. “You just see it and you hit it.”

Richardson’s three-run blast gave the Red Raiders their first runs of the game and a 3-2 lead. The senior shortstop also drove in an insurance run with an RBI walk the next inning.

Richardson struck out in the second inning and had been hitless in her last 11 at-bats, a four-game stretch, before the home run.

“I’d been in a slump against (Oklahoma),” she said of Tech’s previous series. “The first at-bat I wasn’t waiting for my pitch, but the second and third I just saw it and good things happened.”

Luna walked leadoff hitter Emily Bledsoe later in the fourth inning and Texas coach Connie Clark had seen enough.

The junior hurler pitched 32/3 innings and gave up three earned runs, five hits and three walks in just her second loss of the season — the first coming against No. 1 California.

Tech had put the leadoff hitter on the basepaths in the first and third innings and came up empty both times. Kermitria Ward and Holley Gentsch singled in the fourth to set up Richardson’s homer.

The Red Raiders added two more runs in the fifth with an RBI single by Cydney Allen and Richardson’s run-scoring walk.

“One big hit is what it takes in games like this,” Tech coach Shanon Hays said. “They got one early and Raven returned the favor.”

Texas Tech has taken a piece out of two top-five teams in the last week after downing No. 5 Oklahoma and standout pitcher Keilani Ricketts on Friday.

Tech’s own ace, freshman right-hander Cara Custer, deserves a great deal of the credit.

Custer gave up an unearned run in the first inning Wednesday, and Lexy Bennett drove in the Longhorns’ second run with an RBI double in the third.

The hard-throwing right-hander bailed out her defense in the sixth. Texas loaded the bases after a single and a pair of infield errors. But Custer, who had only one strikeout through the first five innings, punched out Marlee Gabaldon and Taylor Thom to end the threat.

“I just remembered to take deep breaths and hit my spots,” Custer said. “That’s all I was really thinking.”

Tech’s last victory against Texas came on March 27, 2008, and Luna has dominat-ed Tech during the last three seasons. In her five previous appearances against the Red Raiders, Luna gave up four earned runs in 31 innings with 40 strikeouts.

“We’ve got a chance to beat anybody we play as long as we get good pitching performances,” Hays said. “Cara went out and gave us a chance to win.”



MEDIA CLIPPINGSTexas Tech knocking on the door in the Big 12

April 11, 2012Graham HaysESPN.com

Texas Tech checked off another chore from the list of accomplishments any pro-gram must complete in order to emerge as a legitimate contender.

The Red Raiders beat No. 6 Oklahoma on the road last weekend, and they did it in a game started by Sooners All-American Keilani Ricketts. It was just Texas Tech’s seventh win in 40 tries against one of the Big 12’s cornerstone programs, and it was Oklahoma’s first loss at home this season. Yet it’s not the result, but the reaction to the series as a whole -- which the Red Raiders lost 2-1 -- that suggests Texas Tech is trending in the right direction. It comes at an opportune time, with the Big 12 needing to ease the sting of losing Missouri and Texas A&M to the SEC after losing Nebraska to the Big Ten.

“We were disappointed that we didn’t win the series,” Texas Tech coach Shanon Hays said of 4-1 and 3-1 losses that left his team 31-9 on the season. “We had opportunities to win the other two games that we kind of let slip through our fingers, and our goal was to go in there and win the series. I think that says a little bit about where our program is now. Before we just hoped we could compete with teams like Oklahoma and Texas and Missouri. And now we go in there with different expectations.”

It’s impressive growth from a program that had eight consecutive losing seasons before Hays arrived in 2010.

It’s an impressive showing from a coach who seven years ago was more focused on March Madness than softball.

There are plenty of paths to becoming a Division I softball coach (the number of possible routes likely greater than the quantity of roads leading to Lubbock, Texas), but men’s basketball associate head coach at the University of Houston is undeniably the starting point of the road less traveled. That’s the title Hays held for the Cougars by the end of the 2005-06 basketball season, the end of a pro-gression that included stints as a men’s basketball assistant coach at Texas Tech and head coaching positions in men’s basketball at Frank Phillips CC, Abilene Christian University and Midland JC (he never had a losing season in five seasons as a basketball head coach).

Starting the softball program at Lubbock Christian University wasn’t the next logical step, but that’s the one Hays took. After working for a year to lay the foun-dation off the field, he went 60-9 in his debut.

“I kind of got burned out on the men’s basketball deal, with the recruiting and always being away from home,” Hays said. “So it was something I felt was a good family move for me.”

That last part was true geographically and athletically. Both Hays and his wife were raised in Lubbock, a longer drive from Houston than Boston is from Wash-ington D.C. And Hays was raised in a family full of bats and gloves. He played baseball at Lubbock Christian and Texas Tech, and his father, Larry, is both one of the winningest baseball coaches in college history across tenures at Lubbock Christian and Texas Tech and a longtime men’s fastpitch player.

Like those of Big 12 counterparts and experienced fastpitch hands Ehren Earley-wine at Missouri and Rich Wieligman at Oklahoma State (the latter a friend who played for Larry Hays at Lubbock Christian), Hays’ softball teams immediately showed improvement at the plate. The Red Raiders slugged nearly 100 points better in his first season than in the season before, then improved on that by nearly 100 more points in his second season. Both seasons ended after at least 38 wins and in NCAA tournament regional finals, first against Hawaii in 2010 and then Arizona in 2011.

Though Texas Tech’s team slugging percentage is down slightly from a season ago, the current season’s mark comes against a far more formidable schedule than the team played the past two seasons.

However, the biggest reason this team feels like it can win a series against the likes of Oklahoma is the other half of the inning.

Freshman ace Cara Custer isn’t going to receive a lot of headlines in a conference that includes the likes of Ricketts and Missouri’s Chelsea Thomas, but she stabi-lized a pitching staff that was battered to the tune of a 5.49 ERA in conference play a season ago.

“Her big strength is her movement,” Hays said of a pitcher who is 18-6 with a 2.25 ERA. “She’s got good velocity, she’s going to throw in the mid-60s, but she has a late break out of the zone, and against your power-hitting teams she keeps the ball on the ground. As long as you’re able to make plays behind her in the infield, you’re going to get a lot of ground balls. And if you make the plays for her, she can have some quick innings.”

The Oklahoma series was just the first test. Beginning on Wednesday, the Red Raiders will play seven games in eight days against Texas, Missouri and Texas A&M. Winning just two of those would be a solid showing that would leave a winning conference record within reach (Tech is currently 4-4 in Big 12 play). But for a team and a coach ready to be a bigger part of the madness of May, expecta-tions are a little higher.



MEDIA CLIPPINGSRed Raiders set new softball scoring record

March 30, 2012David JustLubbock Avalanche-Journal

The seven runs Iowa State scored against Texas Tech on Friday night were the most the Red Raiders have allowed since March 6 — a span of 13 games.

But a mercy-rule victory is never out of the question for Tech, which had made four of its last five opponents cry uncle.

The Cyclones were no exception, and Tech’s bats hammered away for a 19-7 run-rule victory at Rocky Johnson Field, the Red Raiders’ 11th consecutive win.

“Seven runs win a lot of games, just not this one,” Iowa State coach Stacy Ge-meinhardt-Cesler said.

The 19 runs for Texas Tech marked a program-best against a Big 12 Conference opponent. The previous record of 16 was set last year against the Cyclones in Ames, Iowa.

Tech (28-7, 1-2) hasn’t needed to play from behind much during its 11-game winning streak but needed a rally after spotting Iowa State (10-20, 0-4) five runs in the second inning.

The Red Raiders didn’t wait long, scoring six unearned runs in the bottom half of the frame.

Mikey Kenney hit a pop fly to shallow left field that shortstop Lexi Slater dropped, scoring Holley Gentsch from third. Sandy James came up two batters later with the bases loaded and sent Taylor Smith’s 0-2 pitch into the right-center field gap for a three-run double.

Adriana Perez, who was 4 for 4 with four RBIs and a run scored, doubled in James.

“Our whole lineup contributes,” Perez said. “We all believe in each other once we step up at the plate. We were down in that second inning but we didn’t give up. We went out there and stayed confident and focused and we pulled through.”

Perez wasn’t exaggerating about the entire lineup contributing. Ten different players had hits Friday, and nine different players had hits during Tuesday’s 10-2 run-rule victory against Midwestern State.

Tech’s 18 hits were a season-high and included home runs from Perez, Emily Bledsoe and Logan Hall.

Perez has five home runs and 11 RBIs in Tech’s last three games.“I was happy with how we responded after that ugly inning,” Tech coach Shanon Hays said. “The girls came back, gave us some runs, and Cara (Custer) didn’t have her best outing but with those types of runs you can have a bad outing.”

Iowa State has lost five of its last six games and four in a row in league play. The Cyclones have struggled in the circle, owning a conference-worst 7.34 ERA, nearly five points higher than Texas A&M’s eighth-ranked 2.62 ERA. Friday night marked the third time the Cyclones have surrendered three home runs in a game this season.

Hays said game two of the series, which is scheduled for noon today, is “huge” for the Red Raiders.

“I tried to remind the girls after the game that we can’t bank those runs,” Hays said. “Even though we scored a lot of runs, a win is a win and tomorrow they’re going to come out and play like they have nothing to lose.”

Perez brings hot bat for Tech softball


Adriana Perez says she understands the mental side of softball just a little bit more each year.

Texas Tech’s junior cleanup hitter hit a pair of home runs in the Red Raiders’ 10-2 victory against Midwestern State on Tuesday, and her mind deserved as much credit as her strength.

She saw three outside pitches during her first-inning at-bat and grounded out to shortstop.

Perez was ready for more of the same when she batted in the third inning and blasted the first pitch from Lindsi Glenn over the right-field wall.

She came up again in the fourth and saw a mix of inside and outside pitches before driving the 2-2 pitch over the wall, this time to left field.

“I play the game so much that I have read the pitchers and, especially being a catcher, I’ve read what they’re going to do,” Perez said. “I just go up there and stay confident and find my own pitch. Once it goes in my zone I’m going to swing at it.”

The second home run, a three-run blast, was Perez’s team-leading 11th of the season.

She came to Texas Tech this year from Antelope Valley (Calif.) College, where she was a two-time all-American with 31 home runs and 117 RBIs in two seasons.

Perez, who also leads Tech with 34 RBIs and a .402 batting average, has struck out only 11 times in 113 plate appearances.

“She’s a talented kid,” Tech coach Shanon Hays said. “She lines the bat up on the ball well. That’s something that’s kind of innate for some kids. It’s a God-given deal that you can’t teach.”

Perez is on an 11-game hitting streak and will enter the Big 12 Conference sea-son Friday with a league-leading 41 hits.

She knows, though, that conference play will bring a different sort of challenge against some of the country’s top pitchers.

“I don’t want to be scared or timid,” Perez said. “I’m not going to change any-thing. I’m just going to go up there and do what I’ve been doing since the season started.”

That will work for Tech, which has seen its offensive production skyrocket after a slow start.

The Red Raiders, now on a 10-game winning streak, hit a school-record six home runs Tuesday and are outscoring opponents 50-6 during their last five games.

Raven Richardson, Melisa Ryba, Cydney Allen and Taylor Powell also homered in the victory.

Hays said Tech (27-7) is clicking in every facet of the game right now, and just in time for the conference home opener against Iowa State at 6 p.m. Friday at Rocky Johnson Field.

“We’ve got to be able to make adjustments and hit that really good pitching,” Hays said, “and pitch well ourselves if we’re going to be successful from here on out. Now it seems like every week we’re going to face a top-25 team.”



MEDIA CLIPPINGSNo rest, relaxation for Tech softball, goes 9-0 during break

March 19, 2012Matt VillanuevaDaily Toreador

While many Texas Tech students were soaking up the sun on the beach or shred-ding powder on the slopes last week, the Tech softball team was getting it done on the field, developing a nine-game winning streak in a six-day span.

The victories included wins against No. 23 New Mexico, Stony Brook, Monmouth, Seton Hall and Manhattan.

Tech has also seemed to find a consistent groove at bat, averaging 7.8 runs per game, while outscoring its nine opponents 71-19 during the win streak.

“It was a good precursor going in,” said associate head coach Aly Sartini. “We are hitting conference coming up pretty hard, so it was a good confidence booster for us heading into conference play.”

The winning streak started with a doubleheader March 12 versus New Mexico.

The first game, a seven-run inning broke a 2-2 tie that led the Red Raiders past the Lobos, 9-4. Raven Richardson led the team at the plate, going a perfect 4-for-4. Cara Custer picked up her 11th win of the season and struck out a career-high eight batters for Tech.

A grand slam by Mikey Kenney in the fourth inning was the difference maker in the second game, propelling Tech to an 8-5 victory. The grand slam marked Kenney’s eighth home run this season and also tied her with Kim Martinez for the school record of 27.

Tech then traveled to New York for a two game series with Stony Brook.

Emily Bledsoe highlighted the first game by becoming the offensive catalyst of a four-run fifth inning by hitting a two-out double, giving Tech the 4-1 win. The win marked the 100th for the Red Raiders under third-year head coach Shanon Hays.

Kenney set the new school home run record with a bomb in the second inning, thus prolonging Tech’s winning streak to 10 against non-conference opponents with a 6-3 victory. The home run was Kenney’s third in the past five games played at the time.

From New York, Tech continued its East Coast spring break tour and went to South Orange, N.J., for the Seton Hall Classic.

The Red Raiders dominated their competition at the plate, pouring on 44 com-bined runs as opposed to the opposition’s six runs. Three out of the six games played were stopped early due to run rules.

Sartini said the girls also learned a valuable lesson of the benefits of good pitch-ing in the circle.

“When we work ahead and make them swing at our pitches — instead of having to work from behind — it just makes it that much easier,” she said.

Custer tossed a no-hitter and struck out a career-high nine batters against Seton Hall on Friday, allowing Tech to pile on a total of four home runs leading to an 11-0 routing.

Sartini said she and Hays debated on whether or not to pull Custer from the game, but they couldn’t resist the urge of a feat that had been only done five times in school history.

“Her ball was moving really well, she was getting ahead early, and forced them to swing at pitches they normally wouldn’t because they were down 0-2,” she said.

Sunday morning, Adriana Perez went 3-for-3 at the bat with a career-high seven RBIs and led Tech again against Seton Hall en route to the Seton Hall Classic tour-nament title with a 9-0 beat down.

“I just read the pitcher well and went up there and just took my swings,” Perez said, “and eventually I had good hacks out there and everything came out pretty good.”

Award recipients included Perez being named tournament MVP, Custer being honored as top pitcher and Kenney being placed on the all-tournament team.

Tech will take a weeklong break this week and will resume play Tuesday against Midwestern State in Lubbock at Rocky Johnson Field.

Perez said the nine-game winning streak has greatly improved the team chemis-try and the team will be ready for conference play.

“We all believe in each other,” she said, “from our starting nine to all the people on the bench, we all know how to contribute within each other.”



MEDIA CLIPPINGSTech softball hosts Binghamton in home opener


Texas Tech softball coach Shanon Hays expected a few bumps in the road dur-ing a challenging non-conference season. An early four-game losing streak in Tempe, Ariz., was, perhaps, just part of the deal.

The Red Raiders dug in after the Kajikawa Classic, though, and rattled off 10 wins in a row, having already faced eight teams that reached NCAA regionals last sea-son. Tech is 5-3 in those games.

“We’ve scheduled tough this year for a reason,” Hays said, “to try and help us in Big 12 play, and hopefully it will pay off for us. Only time will tell.”

The Red Raiders will play their first home game of the 2012 season as part of a doubleheader at 1 p.m. Friday against Binghamton at Rocky Johnson Field. They will then face Texas-Arlington at 3:30 p.m.

The Jeannine McHaney Memorial Classic, which will pit Tech (11-5) against Bing-hamton (2-3) and UTA (8-3) three times apiece this weekend, is the final tuneup before a midweek Big 12 Conference series at Texas.

The Red Raiders’ 10-game winning streak came to an end with a 3-1 loss to Texas State on Sunday, but the stretch provided a shot in the arm after the slow start.

“We’re confident,” said first baseman Sandy James, who was named the Big 12’s player of the week on Feb. 21. “We wish we would have had more wins at the be-ginning when we went 1-4 in Arizona. It’s kind of the way it fell at the time. We’re doing really well right now and I expect us to keep doing the same.”

James provided Tech’s lone hit during Sunday’s loss in the finals of the Texas Shootout in Waco.

Tech is outscoring opponents by an average of four runs in its 11 victories. The Red Raiders scored one run or were shut out in four of their five losses.

Texas Tech had one of the most potent offenses in the Big 12 last year, and Hays is hoping the bats pick up at home.

“We haven’t swung the bat near as well as I thought we would right now,” Hays said. “I’m waiting for our offense to take off a little bit.”

The team’s pitching, though, which required the most improvement after last year, has been solid.

Freshman Cara Custer enters the weekend as the Big 12 wins leader with a 7-3 re-cord. She is also among the league’s leaders in innings, strikeouts, appearances, shutouts and complete games. Between Custer and pitcher Brittany Talley, Tech has thrown eight complete games.

“It starts with the pitching,” Hays said, “so these first three weeks have gotten us ready for where we’re at.”

Texas Tech is 10-6 in home openers since 1996 and Friday’s game will be the first meeting with Binghamton.

Tech softball goes on hot streak in Louisville Slugger Desert Classic

February 20, 2012Matt VillanuevaDaily Toreador

The Texas Tech softball team swept all of its competition this weekend in Las Vegas at the Louisville Slugger Desert Classic, going a perfect 6-0.

Tech, 7-4, came to Sin City on a four-game losing streak and with glaring ques-tions regarding both its pitching and hitting. The Red Raiders had been out-scored in their four losses by a combined score of 25-7.

A strong showing by Brittany Talley in game one snapped Tech’s four-game los-ing skid, defeating Ohio State 7-4. With the game scoreless after four innings, Raven Richardson broke the ice by belting a solo home run. The Buckeyes would respond with a single-turned RBI in the same inning.

Tech took advantage of three Buckeyes’ errors in the sixth inning by bringing in six runs to give the Red Raiders a lead.

In the next game versus Long Beach State, Tech coach Shanon Hays opted to keep Cara Custer on the mound, designating her the starting pitcher after she al-lowed three runs as relief pitcher the previous game. It was a gamble that would pay off for the Red Raiders.

Custer gave up seven hits, but tossed the first shutout of the season for Tech, guiding the Red Raiders to a 2-0 victory.

“We had some good matchups and she did a good job for us the last game,” Hays said, “and we had already planned on starting her anyways. Those first two wins really helped us turn the tables and start the streak.”

Tech scored its first run in the first inning off an RBI single by Cydney Allen. Rich-ardson scored the final run the next inning, coming in from third, courtesy of a double by Ashley Hamada.

The Red Raiders continued their winning streak Friday with an 8-4 victory against Idaho State.

Tech started the first inning with four runs highlighted by a lead off home run by Mikey Kenney. The Bengals retaliated in the third inning by recording a three-run homer.

However, the Red Raiders sealed the victory in the fifth inning by hanging a three spot on the board. Tech finished its Saturday evening versus Portland State by scoring all its runs in the first inning en route to a 5-1 win.

The early lead gave Custer a comfortable cushion although she was challenged in the bottom of the first inning with loaded bases, she was able to allow only one runner to score, helping Tech cruise to a win.

Talley returned to the circle Sunday morning versus DePaul, striking out four batters and only allowing one run to help the Red Raiders defeat the Blue De-mons, 2-1. DePaul took the early lead in the second inning after an RBI single. Tech equalized the score in the same inning with a solo home run by Adriana Perez. Perez went 2-for-3 from the plate, making it her second straight multiple hit game.

Sandy James broke the tie in the fifth inning, as she roped a line drive to center field, which gave Hamada an ample amount of time to score from second base.

Tech’s final win was its most lopsided, scoring a season-high 11 runs to soundly beat Utah State, 11-2. Both James and Perez propelled the Red Raid-ers’ offense, with James driving in four runs and Perez producing three RBIs.

Hays said he may tinker with the batting order and pitching rotation this week-end in Waco for the Texas Shootout, but is already getting an idea of who his consistent starters will be.

“That’s the beauty about it — having depth,” he said. “But by conference games we’ll know where we stand with our lineups for sure.”



MEDIA CLIPPINGSPitching improvement deemed a must

February 8, 2012David JustLubbock Avalanche-Journal

The Texas Tech softball team has taken major strides in its first two seasons under coach Shanon Hays.

After inheriting a team that went 15-42 in 2009, Hays has brought the Red Raid-ers to NCAA regionals in back-to-back years.

Tech had one of the best seasons in program history last year, going 42-16 de-spite a pitching staff that ranked eighth in the Big 12 Conference with a 3.50 ERA.

Texas, Missouri, Baylor, Oklahoma, Texas A&M and Nebraska all had team ERAs under 2.00. Such are the breaks in the Big 12, which Hays believes will be the strongest conference in the country in 2012.

“Pitching is obviously the key to our success and us moving up another level to try and be a top-10 team,” Hays said Tuesday.

The Red Raiders are in Tempe, Ariz., today for their season opener against San Diego State in the Kajikawa Classic.

Returning pitchers Kelsey Dennis and Brittany Talley — both left-handers — will be joined by true freshmen Cara Custer and Chandler Moore, both hard-throw-ing right-handers.

Custer, Hays said, has already established herself as the team’s No. 1 pitcher.

“They will complement each other very well,” Hays said. “Last year if Brittany Tal-ley got worn down a little bit and we brought in Kelsey Dennis, they were very similar. And I think we can bring in Cara or Chandler or vice versa and you’re go-ing to see something different.”

Custer and Moore throw 66 to 67 mph, while Dennis and Talley throw between 58 and 60, Hays said. The returners are finesse pitchers, and the freshmen have power arms.

“She brings the heat,” senior catcher Cydney Allen said of Custer, “and that’s what we need. Kelsey and Brittany, they bring the junk ball, and they move it a lot.”

Hays compared his new depth to having Greg Maddux and Roger Clemens, or Tom Glavine and Mariano Rivera.

“They have their lefty spins and I have my righty spins,” Custer said, “so that will catch the batters off guard.”

In 18 Big 12 games last year, Tech pitchers amassed an ERA of 5.49, and batters hit .343 against them. They also gave up a league-high 37 home runs.

Hays expects to have a good idea of where his pitching staff stands after a chal-lenging non-conference schedule that includes Tennessee, Stanford and Ohio State in the next two weeks. Tech will face San Di-ego State, Northwestern, Tennessee, Stanford and Cal Poly during the next three days in Tempe.

Hays hopes those challenges early in the season pay dividends for the team come Big 12 play.

“You’re facing the best in the country pretty much week in and week out,” Hays said. “If you can’t keep up and throw some good arms out there yourself, you’re starting in the doghouse.”

Coach Hays, Red Raiders set for first games of 2012 season

February 8, 2012Matt VillanuevaDaily Toreador

The Texas Tech softball team will open up its season this Thursday in Tempe, Ariz. at the Arizona State Kajikawa Classic, and both players and third-year head coach Shanon Hays are ecstatic at the opportunity to build off last year’s success.

For the past five out of six seasons, the Red Raiders will open their season in the desert. Success has often followed, as Tech boasts a 14-5 record, including a 9-1 record under Hays in the tournamentThe tournament will be a homecoming for senior second baseman Logan Hall, who returns to her home state. Hall transferred from Pima Community College before the 2010 season. This will be her third, and perhaps final, time returning since her departure to Texas.

“I’m real excited,” Hall said. “My family is going to be there. It’s a good tournament to start out in, especially with the teams that we have.”

The teams Tech will face in the Kajikawa Classic will be no cakewalk. Four out of the five teams the Red Raiders will play are nationally acclaimed. The high-est ranked team Tech will face is No. 9 Stanford, followed by No. 14 Tennessee. Along with Tech, both San Diego State and Northwestern received votes for Top 25 consideration.

Players and coaches are viewing the tournament as a measuring stick for in-con-ference play the team will go against this season. The Big 12 Conference features six out of its nine teams in the Top 25 — No. 5 Oklahoma, No. 6 Missouri, No. 7 Baylor, No. 11 Oklahoma State, No. 17 Texas A&M and No. 18 Texas.

“You know it’s always a good thing to get a couple of wins under our belt,” said senior catcher Cydney Allen. “That’s not our main goal, our main goal is to go out there and compete and do our best. But to get a couple of wins, that just a little bit of a confidence booster, and that’ll be good to start the season off.”

A big reason for the Big 12’s recent success is the stellar pitching it brings. The conference features three pitchers who were on the 2011 USA Softball Women’s National team, and another who was on the 2010 USA National Futures Team.

“You better have some good arms that can keep you close in the games and put some zeros up,” coach Hays said. “Not only do these teams in the Big 12 have great pitching staffs, they have great lineups as well. I think the Big 12 is the big conference in the country this year and our pitching proves that.”

Opposing batters going against the Red Raiders will face returning starters Kelsey Dennis and Brittany Talley. The two left-handed pitchers tallied a com-bined record of 27-12 and a 2.81 ERA.

Hays said the addition of freshmen right-handed pitchers Chandler Moore and Cara Custer should improve the rotation and compliment Dennis and Talley.

Scoring should not be a concern for Tech, as the team finished the season ranked No. 4 nationally in batting average hitting .340 and scoring, plating an average of 7.71 runs per game. The Red Raiders also set a Big 12 record last season for averaging a .361 batting average during conference play. The team was led by junior shortstop Raven Richardson, who went .384 at the plate last season, and senior third baseman Emily Bledsoe, who was just behind with a .383 average.

Two notable offensive offseason additions are two-time California JUCO catcher of the year Adriana Perez — who hit above .500 each of her two seasons at An-telope Valley College — and Northern Colorado transfer Melisa Ryba, who hit .323 during her sophomore season along with recording seven home runs and 32 RBIs.

With 15 players returning from last year’s squad, including eight seniors, Hays said he has a positive outlook on the season ahead.

“It’s easier for me this year knowing that we have eight really mature, solid qual-ity seniors and we’ve got some very good juniors,” Hays said.
