Texas Tech baseball coach Tim Tadlock discusses Shriners Children’s College Showdown, where his team plays three games on opening weekend
The 22nd-ranked Texas Tech baseball team continues its season-opening weekend at the Shriners Children’s College Showdown in Arlington with a game against Nebraska at 3 p.m. Saturday.
The Cornhuskers, 33-23-1 last season and 15-9 in the Big Ten, beat Baylor 4-1 in the opener of the three-day event at Globe Life Field. Texas Tech, 41-23 last season and 12-12 in the Big 12, opened with Friday’s late game against No 8 Tennessee.
Saturday’s scheduled starting pitchers are junior lefthander Will Walsh for Nebraska and sophomore righthander Zane Petty for Texas Tech. Walsh was 5-3 with a 4.24 earned-run average last season and served as the Cornhuskers’ Sunday starter during the second half of the season. He threw a four-hit shutout against Michigan State in a 4-0 victory at the Big Ten tournament.
Petty went 3-2 last season with a 5.68 ERA. The Milwaukee Brewers drafted him in the 13th round in 2022 out of Corsicana, but Petty opted for college ball.
Second-team all-Big Ten outfielder Gabe Swansen is the Cornhuskers’ top returning hitter. He batted .291 last season with 18 home runs and 57 runs batted in.
