The mid-season collapse for Texas Tech Baseball continues.

The Red Raiders lost a wild game to the Dallas Baptist Patriots 10-9. The Red Raiders scored 9 runs in the second inning to take a 9-4 lead.

The Patriots would score three runs in the second, two in the fourth to tie the game, and a run in the fifth to give DBU the lead for the good.
