After a 21-6 home loss Sunday to the Oklahoma Sooners, the Texas Tech softball team heads to Waco to face the Baylor Bears in a three-game series starting at 6:30 p.m. Thursday at Getterman Stadium.

The Sooners opened the series with a 9-1 win. Propelled by five home runs, Oklahoma followed its opening win with a 13-5 six-inning win over Tech.

Techs 21-6 loss to the Sooners sealed the series sweep for Oklahoma. The Red Raiders trailed Oklahoma 10-6 at end of the fourth inning, but the Sooners ran in 11 runs at the top of the fifth to end their final game of the series against Tech in five innings.

Coach Gregory said the team had to take the positive out of its series versus the Sooners to move past the series loss.

I think that you have to look for the good or youre going to wallow in self-pity, Gregory said. If you dont do that, you miss opportunities and you dont teach kids the right things.

Baylor awaits Tech after winning its opening series of Big 12 play versus the Oklahoma State Cowgirls. The Bears took the first two games versus the Cowgirls 2-1 and 8-7, but dropped the last game of the series 1-0.

Oklahoma States one-run win against the Bears ended a 10-game winning streak for Baylor.

Techs matchup versus Baylor marks a special occasion for freshman outfielder Kaylee Strickland, as she faces her sister Jordan, a Baylor senior infielder, for the first and only time.

Its her senior year, so shes also trying to make it back to the World Series, Strickland said. If we can take that from her, then no mercy.

In Techs last six games versus Baylor, it has won only one game. Techs last win over the Bears came in 2013 at Waco as the Red Raiders ran in six runs versus Baylors four.
