This is normally the case early on in any season.Here are a few notes from Wednesday’s action:-On The Mound: Texas Tech again used six pitchers in the 6 inning scrimmage. JR LHP Zach Crotchfelt (transfer Auburn) and JR RHP J.T. Drake (Pima Community College) each started the game and threw two innings. Also getting two innings of work in relief were JR LHP Dylan Blakely (Saddleback College), JR RHP Daniel Bass (Midland College), returning JR LHP Zach Erdman, and FR LHP Jordan Espinoza (Watsonville, CA).-Your Turn: The catchers on Wednesday were SR Hudson Parker and JR Dominic Archila (transfer Panola JC). Parker, who pitched last year, continues to look good at the plate with an RBI single and a BB in his three plate appearances. The squads other two catchers, JR Dylan Maxey and SO Davis Rivers played LF and RF in the game. I wouldn’t expect to see them there in the regular season but if they were hot enough at the plate, ya just never know.-Bravo Bravo: Damian Bravo appears to be 100% healthy after dealing with a wrist injury at the end of last season. The JR wracked up two doubles and a single in the game.-Take 2: Speaking of guys with multiple hits, SS T.J. Pompey continues to swing it well. The SO had a double off the wall and a 2 run homer in the game. Tracer Lopez also had two extra base hits with a pair of doubles, Garrett Boehm added a 2 run homer and an RBI single, and Freshman corner infielder Ryan Jones was also impressive with a double and a triple into the right field gap.-Versatile: A day after playing LF, transfer SO Logan Hughes played 1st base in the game. That allowed SR transfer Peyton Schulze (who played 1B yesterday) to move across the diamond to 3B. Both looked comfortable playing the different positions.-Lay One Down: The Red Raiders totaled five sacrifice bunts in 59 games last year. Tech used two in one inning yesterday, including a successful safety squeeze by Dominic Archila. Is that a sign the Red Raiders will play more small ball this year?</div></body>
