Texas Tech looked really impressive in the Red Raiders’ Game 1 win. Sure, the Red Raiders weren’t perfect, the Baylor pitching efforts were fairly impressive and kept Texas Tech below its season averages in a few different areas.
But still, it’s hard to complain about a 5-0 win over a conference foe.
That’s especially true when you consider just how good Kaitlyn Terry was in the circle for the Red Raiders or the timely hitting that Texas Tech was able to get from Mia Williams, Jasmyn Burns, Lauren Allred, and Taylor Pannell.
So yeah, Texas Tech may not have been perfect, but the Red Raiders still played like a very complete team and they look like a group that could continue to thrive over the next few weeks.
