Zac Vooletich was responsible for putting Kash into scoring position with the first of two singles on the night. Kash, who owns the third-most home runs hit in a single season by a Red Raider, later manufactured his bunt single into a run after Dillon Carter knocked him home from third base.

Tech manufactured the single run it scored in the second inning in the most unlikely of scenarios with Gavin Kash recording a bunt single down the third base line. While Molina was dealing, Kansas' pitching was limiting the Red Raiders' offense in the same manner. My mind is more with Beckel than being frustrated for Molina, but proud of the way Molina threw."

When you put guys in situations like that, you don't have a lot of margin for error.

Just because he's a competitor who wants to win. My mind is more with him than with anybody. Beckel has made some really good pitches for us and got a lot of big outs for us this year. "I'm really proud of Mason and the way he competed. When asked if it was frustrating to lose on a night Molina was electric, "I'm not there right now," said head coach Tim Tadlock. His 13 punchouts matched the Big 12 individual single-season high, accomplished just three times before this year. The sophomore struck out a career-high 13 batters, which was half the batters he faced Thursday night, and did not issue a walk. Red Raiders' starter Mason Molina had a career night on the hill as carried his team seven innings allowing one run.

Assuming Sidebar can sort out the worst of the technical issues, we’d give Sports Story a light recommendation to anyone looking for a quirky take on a sports RPG, but this one doesn’t deserve a spot at the top of your list.LUBBOCK, Texas – Texas Tech dropped game one of its series versus Kansas 3-1 on Thursday night at Rip Griffin Park. If you loved the original, you’ll likely find Sports Story to be a fun-enough follow-up, but there’s no denying that it feels like quite a letdown after years of waiting. Despite its shortcomings, there’s certainly still an enjoyable game on offer here, but you’ll have to decide for yourself whether it’s worth the negatives, especially given that the Switch eShop is lousy with great games these days. Although the writing is as good as ever and the visuals have received a nice upgrade, the performance issues, tedious fetch quests, and occasionally confusing gameplay all hold this one back quite a bit. Compared to the unexpected highlight that was Golf Story, Sports Story is damningly mediocre.
