The Top 5 Stories From An Amazing Texas Tech Baseball Season

It was the first win for Texas Tech ever in the CWS.

There will be many more hopefully in the future, but the first one is always the sweetest.

No matter how unceremoniously the season ended this win over number 1 seeded Florida was a definite bright spot.

Freshman Davis Martin pitched a gem. Senior Eric Gutierrez hit a bomb. It was a great day.

Texas Tech absolutely exploded offensively in this game.

The final was 11-0 but it felt like 25-0. The bats were blazing and it was a great time to be a Red Raider. It was even sweeter because the team had to fight back from a game one loss in the best of three Super Regional.

Also, who doesn't love a good old fashioned dog pile.

Hayden Howard was a monster in the NCAA Lubbock Regional.

Not only did he pitch well in two different games he utilized a great pick-off move for a game ending play against New Mexico.

He used it again in the Regional Clinching game against DBU just two days later.

Some TCU cheerleaders walk into a baseball game... 

That's not the beginning to a hilarious joke, it's an actual thing that happens every time TCU plays a home game.

They call them "showgirls" and they dance on top of the opposing teams dugout. It's a ridiculous, bush league tradition that was the basis of a controversial spillage during the Texas Tech series.

The Showgirls claimed to have been bullied by a classless baseball squad dressed in Red. The Red teams from of abuse came in the form of water droplets that were intentionally rained down upon the spirit squad in tenacious clouds of sprinkling H2O.

Of course once the story was rinsed off the truth shined through. The Texas Tech baseball team had a motto of, "watering the tree" which they reminded each other of by throwing small cups of water into the air.

Any splash back was unintended.

Big 12 Champs. Enough said.

7-1 in Big 12 series.

Enjoy some pictures.

Dallas Braden, a former Texas Tech player, was on the broadcast team during the CWS.

He called the game between the Florida Gators and Texas Tech and as a professional broadcaster he wasn't allowed to verbally cheer for Texas Tech.

That didn't stop him from going all out physically though.
