The Red Dirt Rivalry Heats Up In April of 2022

According to a press release, on April 12, 2022 baseball fans will gather at Hodgetown in downtown Amarillo to witness Texas Tech's Red Raiders go for a repeat victory over the University of Oklahoma's Sooners.

First pitch will be at 6 PM.

Last year was the first time the Red Raiders and the Sooners met up at Hodgetown for a non-conference game. Texas Tech ran away with a 14-4 win over the boys from Oklahoma.

A Possible Repeat For Texas Tech?

Texas Tech is ranked No.11 as they head into the upcoming season. Oklahoma doesn't crack the top 25. At least, that's according to preseason rankings from D1baseball.com.

If the rankings are any indication of what to expect, it's easy to believe that the Sooners will have an uphill battle ahead of them if they're wanting to snag a win.
