Texas Tech baseball won a game under thrilling and blunder-filled circumstances on Friday.
The Red Raiders played the Oklahoma State Cowboys to begin a Big XII weekend series. The game went to extras and was tied up at 7 runs apiece in the bottom of the seventh. Gavin Kash hit one to left field, where Cowboys outfielder Nolan Schubert appeared poised to end the inning.
But, in the end, Schubert made an absolutely insane blunder. He pulled a Luis Castillo and dropped the easy flyout! Texas Tech then went on to win the game while everyone else went into bedlam.
Fittingly, the Red Raiders baseball account tweeted, “Madness” in response to the epic finish.

What’s more, is that Texas Tech had to climb all the way back for this one. They were down six runs at one point in the game.
