Lawrence, Kan. – The Texas Tech Red Raiders swept a doubleheader against Kansas at Arrocha Ballpark on Saturday to complete a three-game sweep of the Jayhawks. Texas Tech won the first game, 14-3, and posted a 4-1 victory in the nightcap.

GAME ONE: Texas Tech 14, Kansas 3
Texas Tech got out to a quick and early lead to start the opener. Following two home runs from the Red Raiders, the Jayhawks sat in a 3-0 deficit going into their first appearance at the plate. Junior Aynslee Linduff responded with a single to the shortstop, giving the Jayhawks their first hit of the contest. Kansas wasn't able to grab another hit in the bottom of the first and ended the inning down 3-0.
Texas Tech's momentum carried over into the second inning as the Red Raiders scored two runs. Kansas punched back by getting two runners on base with one runner in scoring position, but failed to convert and headed into the third inning down 5-0.
The Kansas defense tightened up in the third inning, only allowing one run on two hits, and then played its best inning of the day in the fourth when freshman Kennedy Diggs retired the three batters she faced in the inning.
Carrying the momentum from the fourth inning, the Jayhawks rattled off back-to-back home runs from September Flanagan and Campbell Bagshaw to give Kansas its first runs of the game. Kansas grabbed another hit from sophomore Kadence Stafford late in the fourth, but didn't make anything out of it. The Jayhawks finished the fourth inning cutting into the Red Raider lead, after putting two runs on the board to make the score 6-2.
Texas Tech rallied in the fifth inning, grabbing three more runs to extend their lead to 9-2, before Diggs recorded her second strikeout of the game. Kansas had a runner in scoring position after back-to-back walks, but couldn't respond and entered the sixth inning down 9-2.
The Jayhawks kept Texas Tech scoreless for the second inning of the day in the sixth, headlined by Diggs grabbing her third strikeout of the game to end the inning. Freshman Bailey Amezcua got her first hit of the day in the sixth inning, with a single to right field.
In the final inning of the first game, Texas Tech continued with its explosive offensive plays. Even with an RBI double from Flanagan, the Jayhawks could not recover. Texas Tech took the first game of the day 14-3.
