2012 BIG 12 STANDINGSINSIDE THE KANSAS SERIESDespite wins in five of the past six meetings, Texas Tech trails Kansas, 25-14, in the overall series that dates back to the start of the Big 12 Conference in 1996. The two teams split last year’s series in Lubbock as the Jay-hawks rallied from three-runs down with a seven-run sixth inning to take the opener, 9-5, before Tech came back with a 10-0 rout in the nightcap of the April 13 doubleheader. The Red Raiders, who are 5-9 all-time when playing in Lawrence, are 4-1 against the Jayhawks under head coach Shanon Hays.

ON DECKThe Red Raiders close the regular season next weekend with a three-game series against Oklahoma State at Rocky Johnson Field. Tech will then have a week off before hearing its postseason fate as the NCAA Selection Show is set to be broadcast at 9 p.m. (CT) May 13 on ESPNU.

LOOKING BACKTech split six games last week against the likes of No. 19 Texas A&M and No. 25 Baylor as the Aggies took a three-game midweek series before the Red Raiders rebounded to win the weekend series with the Bears thanks to a walk-off victory in the finale.

BAYLOR ENDS 13-GAME STRETCH AGAINST THE TOP 25The Baylor series ended a 13-game stretch against ranked opponents for the Red Raiders, who went 7-6 during that time with series wins over No. 9 Missouri and No. 25 Baylor along with a midweek game against No. 5 Texas. Tech is now 9-10 against the top 25 this year and 7-8 during Big 12 play alone. The Baylor series marked the final series against a ranked opponent during the regular season as neither Kansas or Oklahoma State are receiving votes in this week’s poll.

RED RAIDERS AIM FOR SECOND-STRAIGHT 40-WIN SEASONThe Red Raiders will be looking for their second-straight 40-win season over the last two weeks of Big 12 play as Tech enters this weekend’s series at Kansas 37-13 overall and 10-8 in Big 12 play. Tech has previously reached the 40-win mark twice in school history as the Red Raiders finished 42-16 a year ago and then a program-best 45-19 in 1998. The Red Raiders advanced to an NCAA Regional with last year’s record but failed to make the postseason in 1998. Tech is looking to advance to a NCAA Regional for the fifth time in school history and the third-straight year under Shanon Hays.

STEPPING ON UP IN BIG 12 PLAYAfter recording just 12 wins total during Big 12 play over the last two years, Tech has taken a step up to league action this year as its 10-8 record entering this weekend matches the school’s best performance through 18 games. The Red Raiders, who had reached 10 conference wins twice prior to this season, matched the 2011 squad for the best overall record as Tech wrapped that year 10-8 in Big 12 play and 37-24 overall en route to the program’s second postseason appearance. Tech currently sits in fifth in the league standings as the Red Raiders are going for just their third top-five finish in school history and their first since wrapping the 2001 campaign in a program-best third place overall.

TECH SNAPS SINGLE-SEASON HOME RUN RECORDTech’s three home runs during the Baylor series pushed the Red Raiders to 60 on the year, snapping last year’s single-season school record of 58 with six regular-season games remaining. The Red Raiders currently rank 12th in the country in home runs per game and second in the Big 12, trailing only the 70 bombs that Oklahoma has recorded this season. With six games still remaining, Tech needs seven more home runs to enter the top 10 in Big 12 single-season history. The Red Raiders have totaled 157 home runs over Shanon Hays’ three seasons, more than twice the amount from the previous three seasons prior to his arrival in 2010.

PEREZ JUST ONE LONG BALL SHY OF JAMES’ RECORDAdriana Perez enters the Kansas series needing just one more home run to match Sandy James’ single-sea-son school record from a year ago after the junior connected on her 15th of the year last weekend against Baylor. Perez, who is currently tied for second all-time with Mikey Kenney (2010) and Kim Martinez (1997), sent a two-out grand slam over the fence in center during the Saturday game against the Bears, giving her 52 RBI on the year, another feat that ranks in the top five of the school record book.

TECH NEARLY UNBEATABLE WHEN LEADING IN THE SEVENTH INNINGThe Red Raiders have become nearly unbeatable under Shanon Hays when leading after the six innings. In Hays’ three seasons, Tech is 69-1 when taking a lead into the seventh with the lone loss coming after Okla-homa used a four-run rally in the final frame to defeat the Red Raiders, 9-7, in the first game of an April 15, 2010 doubleheader in Norman. The Red Raiders have gone 52-straight games since that point without losing when leading after six innings.

CUSTER BECOMES MOST SUCCESSFUL TECH FRESHMAN PITCHER SINCE RENFRODespite being in only her first collegiate season, Cara Custer has already achieved as much success as any other Tech pitcher in the last decade. The freshman, who is 23-8 on the year, is only the second Tech pitcher in school history to reach the 20-win mark in a single season, joining the great Amanda Renfro who accom-plished the feat three times from 1998-2001. Renfro is the only Tech player to have a number retired after she totaled 93 wins from 1998-2001, leading Tech to two postseason appearances during that span as well. With her two victories last weekend over Baylor, Custer tied Renfro’s 23 victories from her 1998 freshman season that ranks second in the single-season record book. Her 23 wins also already rank seventh in the career record book as well, just one back of teammate Brittany Talley who is currently tied for fifth all-time. Custer enters this weekend tied for second in the Big 12 for wins alongside Texas A&M’s Mel Dumezich as the pair trail Oklahoma’s Keilani Ricketts by one victory.

USA TODAY/NFCA TOP 25 POLL

ESPN/USA SOFTBALL TOP 25 POLL

TEXAS TECH MOVES UP TO NO. 23 IN RPI RANKINGSTech continued its move up the RPI rankings this week as the Red Raiders moved up two more spots to No. 23 in the poll. It marked the third-straight week that Tech has moved up the rankings that are widely used to determine postseason selections and seeding. The Red Raiders began the year at No. 29 before moving up a spot the next week and then to No. 23 just a week ago. Tech ranks fifth among Big 12 schools in the new poll, trailing Oklahoma (No. 5), Texas (No. 7), Texas A&M (No. 11), and Missouri (No. 14). The Red Raiders wrapped the 2011 season ranked 30th in the poll, earning a NCAA Regional selection for the second-straight year in the process.

HAMADA MAKING HIGHLIGHT-WORTHY CATCHES A REGULARITYWhile many will remember Sandy James’ sixth-inning grand slam that gave Tech an 8-6 lead over A&M in the series finale, it was Ashley Hamada who possibly saved the day. After being swept in a doubleheader the previous day, Hamada made two diving catches in the game, most notably a two-out grab at the right field wall that possibly kept the tying run from coming across had the ball dropped. In addition to her work with the glove, Hamada also started Tech’s sixth-inning rally with a single, setting the stage for James to launch her third career grand slam later in the frame.

TALLEY TOSSES ONE-HIT SHUTOUT AGAINST TIGERSBrittany Talley possibly tossed the greatest performance of her young career April 13 as the sophomore lim-ited Missouri to one hit in the complete-game shutout. To make it more impressive, Talley kept the Tigers off the bases while only recording one strikeout in the outing. Missouri had only two hitters reach base thanks to a first-inning triple and a seventh-inning fielding error. Talley wrapped the weekend with five shutout in-nings in the series finale before a leadoff home run in the sixth ended her day. She surrendered just six total hits and the one run in 12.0 total innings.

PEREZ CONTINUES TO CREATE HAVOC IN MIDDLE OF THE LINEUPAdriana Perez continues to cause problems for opposing pitchers as she is now hitting .372 on the year with 15 home runs and a team-high 52 RBI. The junior enters this weekend’s series second in the Big 12 for hits (55) while also ranking among the top performers in batting average (.372) home runs (15), RBI (52), total bases (106), and slugging percentage (.716). Perez, who had a 14-game hitting streak going until the Oklahoma series, is just one home run shy of Sandy James’ single-season school record set just a year ago.

INDIVIDUAL NOTESu Mikey Kenney remains among the Big 12 leaders in stolen bases this week as the junior is 12-for-13 in attempts this year and 31-for-32 over her career. She is three stolen bases shy of her total from a year ago where she went 15-for-15 in attempts. u Kenney and Emily Bledsoe both snapped the school’s career record for runs scored against the Cyclones, passing Paula Workman who came across 135 times from 1997-2000. Kenney ended the weekend with 139 runs scored with Bledsoe trailing just one run behind. u After her sixth inning double in the series finale at Missouri, Bledsoe needs just two more to enter the top 10 in Big 12 history. Already the school’s all-time leader in the category, Bledsoe has totaled eight doubles on the year and 46 doubles over her career.u Bledsoe was hit by a pitch for the 12th time this season last weekend against Baylor. She has been hit more times than any Big 12 player this season. No Tech player had been hit 10 or more times previously since Robyn Wike was plunked 16 times during the 2007 season.u Bledsoe moved to third all-time in career hits during the Oklahoma series as she passed current volun-teer assistant coach Leah Legler. Bledsoe now has 192 hits over four seasons, eight shy of Ashley Parker who totaled 200 hits during the 2004-07 seasons.u Cydney Allen made her first start of the year as the designated player in the middle game of the Missouri series, replacing Adriana Perez in the lineup. Allen is hitting .222 (4-for-18) over Tech’s last 10 games with a home run and three RBI.u Emily Cooper connected on her first career extra-base hit and first RBI all in one swing against Missouri as she opened Tech’s scoring in its 5-4 victory over the Tigers with a double to left field. Cooper has started each of the past 12 of the past 13 games in left field. u Cara Custer’s save against Oklahoma marked her third of the season, moving her into the a tie for third in the Big 12, one back of Kansas’ Alicia Pille. She is one save shy of tying Erin Crawford (2006) for the school single-season record.

PENCIL BLEDSOE IN THE LINEUPDuring Cal Ripken, Jr.’s historic stretch with the Baltimore Orioles, he earned the iconic nickname “Iron Man” after breaking the major league record for 2,632 consecutive games played. While not nearing Ripken’s mark, Emily Bledsoe has impressed many not just for her glove or bat but for her toughness as well. The Fulshear, Texas native has started in all 221 games since her freshman season in 2009. With her start against Midwest-ern State, Bledsoe passed Heather Parker (2004-07) for seventh on the career games played chart. If Bledsoe were to start in each of Tech’s final six games, she would wrap her career ranked fifth in the record book.

HALL REMAINS BIG 12 DOUBLES LEADERLogan Hall’s seventh-inning double against Baylor last Sunday marked her 15th of the year and the 42nd of her career as the senior tied the game with a two-out shot to the gap in left center. The double was Hall’s third of the weekend, increasing her Big 12 lead to two over Kansas’ Maggie Hull. Hall currently ranks second all-time in school history for doubles behind teammate Emily Bledsoe who has 46 over her career. Follow-ing a relatively slow start to the season, Hall posted seven doubles during the month of March alone before opening April with a first-inning double in the Sunday game against Iowa State. She is now hitting .288 on the year with 22 runs scored and 15 RBI.

DON’T FORGET TALLEYEven with Cara Custer’s emergence early in the season, Tech would not be 37-13 on the year without the consistency of sophomore Brittany Talley. The left-hander, who provides a good 1-2 punch in the rotation with Custer, is 10-4 on the year with a 2.32 earned-run average. In 16 starts this season, Talley has given up more than one earned run only five times. She has tossed six complete games on the year, including two shutouts, in 108.2 innings of work.

PEREZ NAMED BIG 12 CO-PLAYER OF THE WEEKAfter hitting .714 with four home runs and 12 RBI against Midwestern State and Iowa State, Adriana Perez was named the Big 12 Co-Player of the Week on April 3, the second weekly award honor for Tech this season. Perez frustrated opposing pitchers as she was 10-for-14 at the plate while posting at least two hits and two RBI in all four games. The junior concluded the weekend with an eighth-inning walk-off home run that sent Tech to a three-game sweep of Iowa State. Perez shared the award with Oklahoma’s Lauren Chamberlain. Sandy James is the other Tech player to earn the award this year after picking up the accolade on Feb. 21.

BLEDSOE FINDS THE LONG BALL AGAINST THE CYCLONESEmily Bledsoe took advantage of the long ball during Tech’s sweep of Iowa State as the senior hit three home runs in the series, including two during Tech’s 5-2 victory in the series finale. Bledsoe now has four home runs on the year and 17 for her career which is tied for seventh in school history. She was hitting .432 during Tech’s 13-game winning streak as she has scored 14 runs and posted 13 RBI during that span. The successful week-end brought Bledsoe’s average up to .305, marking the first time she has reached the .300 mark this season.

RYBA RETURNS TO THE LINEUPAfter 14 games away from the field, Melisa Ryba returned the field at the Seton Hall Classic, crushing a three-run homer in the first plate appearance. She came off the bench in all five games that weekend, replacing Katelyn Williams in the lineup to go 5-for-11 at the plate. The junior kept the hot-hitting going against Mid-western State as she went 1-for-2 at the plate with a second-inning home run that carried over the score-board in right field. Ryba earned her first start in the game since facing Idaho State Feb. 18 in Las Vegas. Prior to the Seton Hall Classic, Ryba had not previously seen action since facing UTEP on Feb. 25 in Waco.

CUSTER THROWS FIRST CAREER NO-HITTERCuster tossed her first career no-hitter in Tech’s second game of the Seton Hall Classic, a 11-0 run-rule of the host Pirates. It marked the eighth no-hitter in school history and the first since Kermitria Ward held Dayton hitless on March 6 last year. She became just the third Tech freshman to record a no-hitter, joining Ward and fellow teammate Brittany Talley. Custer struck out a season-high nine Pirates in the outing before coming back two days later to keep Seton Hall hitless all the way till the third inning when Colltey Sheldon slapped an infield single. The Spanaway, Wash. native was named the tournament’s top pitcher following the game.

KENNEY SETS CAREER HOME RUN RECORDAfter setting the Tech career home run record against Stony Brook March 14, Mikey Kenney continued to add to her record in the Seton Hall Classic, pounding her team-leading 10th dinger of the year against the host Pirates during pool play. Kenney now has 30 home runs in her career, three more than previous record holder Kim Martinez who totaled 27 during the 1997 and 1999 seasons. Her 11 home runs on the year currently rank third in the Big 12 behind Lauren Chamberlain of Oklahoma and teammate Adriana Perez.

SPRING BREAK GOOD FOR TECH’S AVERAGESTo say the Tech offense enjoyed a successful Spring Break at the plate might be an understatement. During Tech’s nine games during the week, Tech hit .374 as a team, totaling 14 home runs and 71 runs during that span, outscoring opponents 71-19 overall. The Red Raiders had eight players with 10 or more at-bats post at least a .300 average at the plate, led by Raven Richardson’s .600 mark. Texas Tech Over Spring Break AB H AVG.

HAYS EARNS WIN NO. 100 AT TEXAS TECHShanon Hays picked up his 100th victory while the head coach at Texas Tech with the Red Raiders’ 4-1 win in the series opener at Stony Brook. Tech went on to win the second game as well, moving Hays to 101-41 at the time in two-plus seasons at Tech. The Lubbock native, who is 218-57 in five seasons as a collegiate coach, trails only Renee Luers-Gillespie as the school’s all-time winningest coach. Gillespie went 136-159-1 during just over four seasons from 1996-2000.

BLEDSOE HEATS UP DURING TRIP TO NEW YORKAfter struggling for the first part of the season, Emily Bledsoe was able to string several hits together during Tech’s trip the New York area, compiling a .476 average (10-for-21) over the seven-game stretch. Bledsoe also scored six runs during that time while adding five RBI and three doubles. She now has 44 doubles for her career, the most in Tech history, which leave her four shy of entering the Big 12 record book as well. The performance helped Bledsoe move her season average to .284 overall, the highest its been all year.

WEEK 12: at KANSAS • GAME 51-53

TECH BATS COME TO LIFE AGAINST NEW MEXICOHeading into the New Mexico doubleheader, Shanon Hays had hoped his offense would have produced a few more runs so far this season. He got his wish early on against the 23rd Lobos as Tech set a new season high in hits during the first game en route to scoring a total of 17 runs over the two games. The Red Raiders capitalized on two separate seven-run innings which allowed Tech to break the first game open in the third before using another seven-run frame in the fourth to bounce back from an early 3-0 deficit in the finale.

“THE ROCK” GETS ADDITIONAL SEATINGTexas Tech fans have the added comfort of not having to fight for a seat this season as over 500 seats were added to Rocky Johnson Field in the offseason. The seating addition replaced the grass berms that previ-ously stood above both dugouts and over both bullpen areas. The facility currently has seating for 1,165 fans with room to add portable seating as well.

OFFENSE SHINES IN OPENING WEEKENDAfter hitting just .240 over the first 16 games of the season, the Red Raiders responded with a .386 average over six games against Binghamton and UT-Arlington, bringing their season average up 42 points in the process. Tech, which ranked fourth nationally in scoring offense and batting average last year, had at least 10 hits in four of six games en route to an undefeated weekend. Mikey Kenney led the way with a .533 average on the weekend that included three home runs and four stolen bases. Logan Hall trailed close behind after going 11-for-21 with three RBI and six runs scored. Tech is 13-1 this year when scoring three or more runs.

RED RAIDERS REBOUND NICELY IN VEGASAfter what many considered a disappointing 1-4 start to the season, the Red Raiders rebounded rather nicely in Las Vegas, going 6-0 while defeating three teams that advanced to the postseason a year ago in Long Beach State, Portland State, and DePaul along with Ohio State who was receiving votes in the top 25 polls at the time. Tech faced six schools that made the postseason last year in its first 11 games, going 4-2 in those contests.

JAMES NAMED BIG 12 PLAYER OF THE WEEKAfter hitting over .400 with a pair of home runs, Sandy James was named the Big 12 Player of the Week Tues-day, marking the second time the junior has earned the honor. She hit .409 at the Louisville Slugger Desert Classic while driving in nine RBI to lead the Red Raider offense. She becomes the first Red Raider in school history to be named the league’s Player of the Week twice. She is also just the second Tech player to earn a weekly award on multiple occasions, joining Amanda Renfro who was named the Pitcher of the Week five times over the 1998-01 seasons.

HAYS EARNS WIN NO. 200The Red Raiders’ 2-1 win over DePaul marked win No. 200 for head coach Shanon Hays as the third-year head coach is now 205-55 in four-plus seasons as a collegiate coach. Hays, who is 91-39 at Tech, recently passed Te-resa Wilson for third on the winningest Tech coaches list as Wilson went 89-123 during the 2005-08 seasons.

2012 TEXAS TECH SOFTBALL 7

UNFAMILIAR TERRITORYThe Red Raiders entered unfamiliar territory in Las Vegas as Tech had never gone into a game with a losing record under head coach Shanon Hays. Tech lost only five non-conference games over the last two seasons, including only one in 2011 alone. The Red Raiders had a tough weekend in Arizona, though, falling to Northwestern, No. 14 Tennessee, No. 9 Stanford, and Cal Poly in what is the worst start to a season since the 2008 squad opened the year with 12-straight losses. Tech’s four-game losing streak to regular season non-conference opponents also marks its longest since late in the 2009 season.

BLEDSOE A CANDIDATE FOR LOWE’S SR. CLASSEarlier this season, Emily Bledsoe was named one of 30 candidates for the pres-tigious Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award that is presented annually to the softball stu-dent-athlete that excels not only on the diamond but also in the classroom and community. The 30 candidates will be trimmed to 10 finalists midway through the season with the winner being named following a nationwide vote at the Women’s College World Series.

BUILDING THAT RPIPart of Tech’s success over the last two seasons in getting to a NCAA Regional has stemmed from its difficult regular season schedule. Tech played six non-confer-ence teams last year that made the postseason and is set to face seven this year with three of those games taking place at the Kajikawa Classic. The Red Raiders dropped San Diego State, 5-4, before falling to both No. 14 Tennessee and No. 9 Stanford, who both earned national seeds a year ago. Tech faced three more re-gional squads from a year ago last weekend as Long Beach State, Portland State, and DePaul all made the postseason in 2011.

RED RAIDERS FACE QUALITY ARMS IN ARIZONAIf there was one certainty from Tech’s opening weekend at the Kajikawa Classic, it was that Tech faced two of the country’s top pitchers in Tennessee’s Ellen Ren-fro and Stanford’s Teagan Gerhart. The duo combined to hold Tech to just one run which came off a Mikey Kenney solo home run in the second inning off the Cardinal. Renfro was the SEC Freshman of the Year last season after compiling a 26-7 record, while Gerhart earned All-Pac 12 first team honors after going 26-13 in the circle.

TECH PICKS UP VOTES IN PRESEASON POLLSFor the second-straight season, Texas Tech started the season receiving votes in both the USA Today/NFCA and the ESPN/USA Softball preseason polls. The Red Raiders picked up five votes in the NFCA poll and then six in the ESPN rankings. One of seven Big 12 schools appearing in the polls, Tech will face a total of 14 teams this season that are ranked or receiving votes in the preseason rankings.

RED RAIDERS FACE CHALLENGE IN THE DESERTThe Red Raiders had a tough task at hand at the Kajikawa Classic as four of their five opponents were ranked or receiving votes in the preseason rankings. Stan-ford led the pack after being ranked No. 9 by the NFCA and No. 10 by ESPN.com, while Tennessee is No. 14 in the NFCA poll and No. 9 in the ESPN rankings. San Diego State was receiving votes in both polls while Northwestern picked up two votes in the ESPN rankings. Tennessee, Stanford, and San Diego State were all selected to a NCAA Regional last year with the Lady Vols and Cardinal eventually advancing to the Super Regionals.

RED RAIDERS RETURN 15 PLAYERS FROM 2011 With 15 returners back from its 2011 squad, Tech could be primed for another breakout season in 2012. Of those 15 returners, eight were position starters a year ago while Tech’s top two pitchers, senior Kelsey Dennis and sophomore Brit-tany Talley, also return in the circle. The Red Raiders had no seniors on their roster last year when Tech finished 42-16 overall after falling to Arizona in the finale of the NCAA Tucson Regional.

TAKING THE NEXT STEPImmediately following Tech’s season-ending loss to Arizona in the NCAA Tucson Regional, head coach Shanon Hays had one message for his young team - to take the next step in 2012. Advancing to the postseason would no longer just be the goal. Knowing the majority of that squad would return this year, he challenged the group to win a regional this season, a feat that has not been accomplished in school history. The Red Raiders have fallen in the regional finale in each of the last two seasons.

TECH BOASTS A RECORD EIGHT SENIORSAfter only having a total of two seniors on the roster during his first two seasons, Shanon Hays will have a senior-laden squad for the first time as eight seniors

return for their final season in scarlet and black. No Tech team had previously boasted more than six seniors on its roster since softball returned as an intercol-legiate sport in 1996. The only two seniors in Hays’ tenure were in 2010 when Ashly Jacobs and Leah Legler completed their eligibility. Both are still associated with the program this season with Jacobs filling the role of graduate student manager and Legler as the volunteer assistant coach.

TECH RETURNS ONE OF NATION’S TOP LINEUPSThe majority of last year’s lineup that hit .361 and ranked fourth nationally in both batting average and scoring average returns this season as the Red Raiders bring back eight position starters from a year ago. Tech set the Big 12 Confer-ence record last year with its .361 batting average as seven regulars in the lineup hit .300 or better during the season. Raven Richardson led all hitters with a .384 mark followed closely behind by Emily Bledsoe and her .383 average.

BLEDSOE NAMED TO PRESEASON WATCH LISTSenior Emily Bledsoe was named to the USA Softball Player of the Year Watch List prior to the season, joining 49 players nationwide including 10 from the Big 12 Conference. Bledsoe, a Fulshear, Texas native, hit a career-high .383 as a junior and is already a fixture in the school’s record book. She is the first Tech player to be named to any preseason watch list in school history.

TECH HITS THE ROAD FOR NON-CONFERENCEAfter playing the majority of non-conference games at home the past two sea-sons, the Red Raiders will be hitting the road more often this year with four non-conference tournaments away from Lubbock. Following Tech’s trip to Tempe to open the season the Red Raiders will travel to Las Vegas (Feb. 17-19) for the Louisville Slugger Desert Classic, Waco (Feb. 24-26) for the Texas Shootout, and South Orange, N.J. (March 16-18) for the Seton Hall Classic.

HAYS LOOKS TO CUSTER FOR BOOST IN CIRCLEWhen pitching coach Aly Sartini was out recruiting the Las Vegas area in the summer of 2010, she sat in by chance on the Washington Lady Hawks travel team where this young right-hander with great velocity and good movement was retiring hitters left and right. Sartini along with Shanon Hays immediately began recruiting that right-hander, current freshman Cara Custer, early and se-cured her commitment before several of the top programs across the country came calling. Now, the Tech coaching staff is expecting the Spanaway, Wash. na-tive to be a dominating presence in the circle for a Tech pitching staff that had a 3.50 ERA a year ago.

RED RAIDERS ADD JUCO CATCHER OF THE YEARTech continued to add hitters in the offseason with the signing of two-time California JUCO Catcher of the Year Adriana Perez. One of the top junior college prospects in the country last year, Perez is expected to bolster an already-deep catcher staff that consists of seniors Holley Gentsch and Cydney Allen along with junior Randi Tongate. Perez hit over .500 in each of her two seasons at Antelope Valley College in California, totaling 31 home runs and 117 RBI during that two year stretch.

RYBA RETURNS TO DIAMOND AFTER YEAR OFFMelisa Ryba will be returning to the softball diamond for the first time since the 2010 season this weekend as the redshirt junior sat out the 2011 season due to NCAA transfer rules. Ryba, who could play varies positions for Tech, transferred from Northern Colorado after hitting .323 as a sophomore with seven home runs and 32 RBI. She was named an All-Independent Co-Freshman of the Year in 2009 before Northern Colorado joined the Pacific Coast Softball Conference in 2010 when she was a second team PCSC All-Mountain selection.

BIG 12 PLAY TURNS TO THREE-GAME SERIESFor the first time in Big 12 history, all conference series will be three games each. The league had previously gone with a two-game format and a postseason con-ference tournament until the 2011 season when the tournament was cut. There will be a total of 24 conference games, six more than the 2010 season. With the departure of Nebraska, the league is a nine-team conference as Kansas State does not sponsor softball.

TECH PICKED 7TH IN BIG 12 PRESEASON POLLEven with lofty expectations and the majority of its 2011 squad back for another season, Texas Tech was picked seventh in the Big 12 preseason poll of confer-ence coaches. The league is coming off a record year where eight teams (of 10) advanced to the postseason with four of those eventually composing the eight-team Women’s College World Series. Missouri was the preseason favorite to take the league title followed by Oklahoma and then Texas.

8 2012 TEXAS TECH SOFTBALL

WEEK 12: at KANSAS • GAME 51-53

In two seasons as Texas Tech’s head softball coach, Shanon Hays has taken the Red Raiders to consecutive NCAA Regional appearances, breaking a nine-year postseason absence and laying the framework for a program on the rise in the process. After inheriting a squad that was only 15-42 in 2009, Hays led the Red Raid-ers to back-to-back 30-plus win seasons, including a 42-16 campaign in 2011 that marked the highest winning percentage in school history. Prior to Hays’ arrival, Tech had only advanced to the postseason twice in program history with its last trip being in 2001, which was also its most-previous season with a winning record. Tech’s 80-34 record under Hays is one win shy of its previous four seasons combined as the Red Raiders won 81 games from 2006-09. Most importantly, though, the Red Raiders have been in the postseason each season, advancing to the NCAA Stanford Regional in 2010 and the Tucson

Regional in 2011. Tech fell in the regional finale each year as eventual College World Series participant Hawaii ended the squad’s run in 2010 while host Arizona dropped the Red Raiders in 2011. No Tech squad had previously advanced to a regional in consecutive seasons, nor had any team previ-ously appeared in the top 25 rankings. The Red Raiders changed that on Feb. 15, 2011 as they appeared in the top 25 of both polls, breaking a drought that lasted over a decade. Tech, which had not been ranked previously in either poll since the end of the 1999 season, climbed as high as No. 19 throughout the year, the highest ranking in school history. Under Hays, Tech has consistently produced one of the top lineups in the nation as the Red Raiders spent most of the 2011 season with the highest batting average in the nation before ending the year fourth overall. The squad’s 7.17 runs per game ranked fourth as well in scoring nationally, while its .533 slugging percentage was just inside the top 10 nationally in ninth. With that type of production up and down the lineup, the Red Raiders have snapped 13 single-season offensive marks in the school record book, including the previous highs for batting average, runs, hits, dou-bles, home runs, and RBI. While playing in a conference dominated by pitching, Tech has only been shutout six times under Hays as the Red Raiders have been among the Big 12 leaders in most offensive categories as well. Four players - Cydney Allen, Emily Bledsoe, Logan Hall, and Mikey Kenney - have been honored on either the All-Big 12 second team or on the NFCA postseason awards lists following each season. Tech’s transformation should come as little surprise after Hays’ work at Lubbock Christian. Following his appointment as the program’s first head softball coach in 2006, Hays worked for a full academic year in preparation for LCU’s first season in 2008. The Lady Chaps did not disappoint in their inaugural season, compiling a 60-9 record and claiming the NAIA National Championship, earning Hays NAIA National Coach of the Year honors. Hays wrapped his two-year tenure at LCU with a 114-16 overall record after advancing to the national championship again in 2009. Known as a top-flight recruiter and motivator, Hays was named the Sooner Athletic Conference Coach of the Year both seasons and produced five NFCA and NAIA first team All-Americans during his tenure. Hays turned to softball after a successful career as a basketball coach that included two seasons on the Texas Tech bench as an assistant coach from 1999-2001 under James Dickey. He is the first person at Texas Tech to coach two completely different sports (one men’s and now one women’s). Hays began playing fastpitch softball as a youth, along with baseball and basketball, because his fa-ther, the legendary Texas Tech and LCU baseball coach Larry Hays, also played fastpitch softball. Hays, the elder, whose 1,509 career wins were good enough for fourth on the all-time collegiate baseball list, retired as Tech’s all-time winningest coach prior to the 2009 season. He graduated from Lubbock Monterey High School in 1986 and makes his home in Lubbock with his wife, Tina, two sons, Hunter, Heath, and daughter, Hampton.
