OMAHA, NEB. – From a mid-April stretch when they won 10 games in a row, navigating road hazards at Florida State and Oklahoma State, there was no better baseball team in the Big 12 Conference than Texas Tech.
There was no better hitter than Tech first baseman Eric Gutierrez.
And there was no better Friday night starter in the conference than the Red Raiders’ Davis Martin.
But college baseball’s long and winding road to Omaha can detour even the most accomplished of teams.
