Texas Tech baseball to face Texas in first round of Big 12 tournament
The University of Texas won’t depart for the Southeastern Conference without at least one more game against Texas Tech.
The Texas Tech baseball team will face Texas at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday in the first round of the Big 12 tournament at Globe Life Field in Arlington. It’s the last of four first-round games. Tech (31-24) is the No. 10 seed and Texas (35-20) the No. 3 seed.
Texas won two of three games against Tech on the first weekend of Big 12 play.
Saturday was the last day of the Big 12 regular-season schedule.
Texas completed a three-game sweep of Kansas, but Oklahoma State clinched the No. 2 seed by sweeping a doubleheader at Houston. Oklahoma State played two fewer games than Texas — two of its last four regular-season conference games being rained out — and finished with a higher conference winning percentage than the Longhorns.
Conference champion Oklahoma (34-18) as the No. 1 seed and Oklahoma State (37-16) as the No. 2 seed have byes in the 10-team bracket and don’t have to play until Wednesday.
Tuesday’s other first-round games pit No. 6 seed Kansas State (31-22) against No. 7 seed Kansas (29-21) at 9 a.m., No. 4 seed West Virginia (33-20) against No. 9 seed TCU (31-19) at 12:30 p.m. and No. 5 seed Cincinnati (31-23) against No. 8 seed Central Florida (33-18) at 4 p.m.

If Tech beats Texas, the Red Raiders would play Oklahoma State at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday. If Tech loses to Texas, the Red Raiders would play the Cincinnati-UCF loser at 4 p.m. Wednesday.
Tech finished the regular-season with three non-conference games in Phoenix, starting with 21-5 loss to Arizona State on Thursday night. On Friday, the Red Raiders beat Nevada-Las Vegas 13-12 and lost to Arizona State 17-11.
Because of the short turnaround before the start of the Big 12 tournament, Tech starting pitchers Kyle Robinson and Ryan Free pitched only one and two innings, respectively, in Phoenix.
High-leverage relief pitcher Trendan Parish, out since April 1 because of injury, returned and pitched 1 1/3 innings in Friday’s game against Arizona State. The junior righthander retired all four batters he faced.

HOUSTON, Texas — Houston-area leaders on Saturday expressed frustration over what they described as a lack of cooperation from federal authorities following the fatal shooting of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent.
The shooting happened on Tuesday during an immigration operation. Federal officials said an ICE agent shot and killed the 52-year-old after he allegedly rammed a law enforcement vehicle and refused verbal commands during a traffic stop.
Three men detained during the operation have disputed the federal account of what happened.
