Wednesday evening, the Grand Canyon University Antelopes completed a two-game sweep against #4 Texas Tech, beating the Red Raiders 8-7.

Wednesday's loss was the third in a row for Texas Tech Baseball as they also lost last Sunday's series finale at the Kansas Jayhawks.

The Red Raiders did have a chance to send Wednesday's game into extra innings. Down 8-2 to start the top of the 9th inning, Texas Tech scored five runs off of three hits and two GCU errors.

Two of the runs came off of a double from Ty Coleman with no one out.

Then, with two outs and nobody on base, Parker Kelly had an opportunity to tie the game. Kelly hit a deep fly ball to left field and it hit off the fence. Kelly attempted to stretch the hit into a double but he was thrown out at second base to end the game.

Texas Tech's current three-game losing streak is the first since April 2021.

After an off-day on Thursday, the Red Raiders return home to Lubbock for their next series.
