Series to watch

Texas Tech vs. Kansas

The Red Raiders and Jayhawks are both fighting to stay in the Big 12 race with first place Texas. Both teams face a large uphill climb in the standings; this game is more about seeding in the conference tournament. The winner of this series will make a serious move into the top three of the conference and possibly avoid the Longhorns until the Big 12 Semifinals.

Player of the Week

Robby Price, Kansas

Robby Price is on a 21-game hitting streak for Kansas, the longest streak for a Jayhawks hitter since Tony Thompson went on his own 21-game hitting streak in 2009. Last weekend against the Cornhuskers, Price’s highlight was a 3-for-5 effort in Kansas’ 7-4 win over Nebraska.

Series of the Week

Oklahoma State vs. Missouri

The Cowboys and Tigers played three very competitive games last weekend to inch closer to the league-leading Texas Longhorns. Missouri took game one at home, winning in an offensive breakout 9-2. In the second game of the series, both teams put up runs, but this time the Cowboys picked up their first Big 12 road win of the season. In the finale the Cowboys and Tigers had some late-game drama as Dean Green hit a solo home run to lead off the top of the ninth to give the Cowboys a 4-3 victory.

Team of the Week

Texas Tech

The Red Raiders were picked to finish dead last in the Big 12 and with more than half of the season over, Texas Tech is sitting four games out of first place. Last weekend they defeated Oklahoma in two out of three games. The Sooners were held to a total of six runs after putting up 12 in the first game of the series.
