Texas Tech baseball homered deep to walk off Abilene Christian University in the eighth inning to complete a 15-4 run-rule victory Tuesday night at Dan Law Field at Rip Griffin Park.

After a pair of runs in the seventh inning put Tech in run-rule territory, the Red Raiders continued their batting efforts into the final frame. Tech freshman infielder Linkin Garcia opened the winning frame with a single before Ferraro’s homer concluded the night.

Entering the eighth frame on the verge of the run-rule with a 13-4 lead, a home run off the bat of Tech junior outfielder Caden Ferraro brought in the game-winning two runs. The Red Raiders’ scoring transcended the game-winning frame as they scored in seven of the eight total frames.

“It was a change-up,” Ferraro said. “I kind of knew that, going into the at-bat, he was gonna throw that. He threw it to (Logan) Hughes twice when he hit the seventh, so I was looking for a first pitch, got the first pitch and hit it. Executed my plan, and obviously looked as good as it could have.”

After scoring a run during the first and second innings, the Red Raiders’ batting efforts eclipsed in the third inning behind a five-run performance to build a lead. 

Tech’s scoring run began with a home run to deep left field from junior outfielder Logan Hughes that traveled 411 feet. Hughes brought in a pair of RBIs while extending his home run total on the season to nine, tying graduate first baseman Robin Villeneuve.

A single from Garcia followed as the Wildcats took a mound visit with junior relief pitcher Will Patterson. ACU needed Patterson to stall a little longer with sophomore reliever Logan Young starting to warm up in the bullpen.
