LUBBOCK, Texas\u00a0\u2013\u00a0No. 2 Texas Tech (25-2, 3-1) dropped game one to No. 12\/13 Arizona (21-5, 4-0) on Friday night. Arizona put up crooked numbers in the third and the fifth and kept Tech hitters off-balance as they won 9-0 in five innings.<\/p>\n
NiJaree Canady<\/a> had a high strikeout total (8) through 4.0 innings of work but allowed nine runs, four earned, before Samantha Lincoln<\/a> came in to close out the game and allowed just one base runner in the final inning of play.<\/p>\n Tech’s offense wasn’t its usual self, recording just four hits, only one of which was an extra-base hit.<\/p>\n How it Happened: Tech had a chance to get some runs in the bottom of the fourth with runners on second and third thanks to a single by Jasmyn Burns<\/a> and a double by Taylor Pannell<\/a> but weren’t able to capitalize as the Wildcat’s Jalen Adams forced a pair of pop flies and a ground out to get out of the inning.<\/p>\n Arizona closed out the game in bottom of the fifth with a three-up, three-down performance.<\/p>\n UP NEXT: The Red Raiders will continue their series against the Wildcats tomorrow with a doubleheader beginning at noon.
\nArizona’s offense capitalized on two Red Raider errors in the third inning and hit back-to-back home runs including a three-run shot. The Wildcats turned around and loaded the bases with no outs which allowed Grace Jenkins to hit her second home run of the day, a grand slam, which put Arizona up 9-0 and put the game in run-rule territory.<\/p>\n
