Named the eighth head coach in Texas Tech history during the summer of 2008, Spencer has wasted no time rebuilding the Tech program. Spencer has led Texas Tech to 86 wins since taking over as head coach in 2009, and this past season guided his program to 33 victories - the Red Raiders most wins in a season since Included in Spencer s success as the skipper have been 24 victories against nationally-ranked opponents, a record at Dan Law Field, three consecutive seasons with an increase in wins (25 in 2009, 28 in 2010, 33 in 2011), winning 13 conference series and mentoring 19 players since joining the Tech program as associate head coach in 2008 that have been drafted or signed free agent in the Major League Baseball Draft. In fact, five of Spencer s 19 draft picks have been taken in the top-10 rounds. The Red Raider faithful have also taken notice of Spencer s guidance to the program as Tech ranked 24th in the nation in 2011 averaging 2,771 fans per game. The Red Raiders average attendance marked the program s fifth highest all-time and the highest since Spencer has led Tech to three consecutive appearances at the Big 12 Championship, something that hadn t been done at Tech since Spencer s 86 victories in three seasons at Texas Tech rank second all-time among Red Raider head coaches during their first three seasons at the helm (Larry Hays , 87 wins). In addition, Spencer recorded his 50th career home win in 74 tries, which made him the fastest Texas Tech head coach ever to win 50 career home games (previous mark set by Kal Segrist - 76 games). The Red Raiders never-say-die attitude under Spencer has led them to 43 come-from behind wins under Spencer in three seasons. On the other side of things, Texas Tech has been nearly impossible to defeat with a lead late in the game with a 78-1 record under Spencer when holding a lead after eight innings. The 2011 season saw many highlights for Spencer and the Red Raiders, among them were winning on the road and during the midweek. Tech went 11-3 during midweek competition and won 10 road games, the program s most since In fact, Texas Tech swept three midweek road/neutral site series which set a new school record. Spencer has never avoided playing strong competition. The past two seasons the Red Raiders have played 45 games against ranked opponents. In 2011, Texas Tech led the league playing 20 games against ranked programs during the regular season. The previous year the Red Raiders took the field 25 times against ranked foes. Accolades came pouring in for the Red Raiders in 2011 while four players were named to five national award watch lists, including National Pitcher of the Year (RHP John Neely), Midseason Stopper of the Year (RHP John Neely), Johnny Bench Award (C Bo Altobelli), John Olerud Two-Way Player of the Year (RHP/OF David Paiz) and Brooks Wallace Award (SS Kelby Tomlinson). Neely went on to earn All-America honors from the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association and from CollegeBaseballInsider.com while Tomlinson became the first Big 12 Conference player ever to be awarded the American Baseball Coaches Association Rawlings Division I Gold Glove Award (SS). Spencer, 46, rejoined the Texas Tech Baseball family on July 2, 2007 when he was named associate head coach on the staff of former head coach Larry Hays. He spent the 2008 season in that role where he coached the pitchers and catchers and headed Tech s recruiting front. His 2008 pitching staff produced two top-10 round MLB draft picks in juniors Zach Stewart and James Leverton, both of which had never been drafted prior to that season. Stewart was taken in the third round by the Cincinnati Reds while Leverton was taken in the eighth round by the Chicago Cubs. Prior to his arrival at Texas Tech, he spent 11 seasons at Oregon State, the last three as associate head coach, where he served as pitching/catching coach and recruiting coordinator. His pitching staffs during the last two seasons of his Oregon State tenure were instrumental in helping the Beavers become the first back-to-back College World Series Champions since LSU in the late 1990s. In those two seasons, his staffs compiled 3.41 and 3.48 cumulative ERAs while leading the team to and respective records. His group led the Pac-10 in ERA in both 2005 and 2006 while his bullpen helped pave the way to consecutive national titles by contributing 20-plus saves in both 2006 and Under his leadership, the Beavers had three pitchers and one catcher named to All-America teams and seven players drafted in the top 10 rounds of the MLB Draft. Eddie Kunz, the ace of the 2007 staff, and catcher Mitch Canham, the squad s leading hitter, were both first round draft selections in the 2007 MLB Draft. His collegiate coaching career began at the junior college level six years before arriving at Oregon State, as he landed his first job as an assistant coach at Tacoma Community College in Tacoma, Wash., in After just one season in Tacoma, he picked up his first head coaching position as he took over the program at Green River Community College in While at Green River, he compiled a record of between 1992 and Year School Overall Conf.

LeJeune reached the milestone during his 118th career game played, making him the sixth fastest Red Raider to reach 100-career RBI during the past decade. Barnes reached 100 career RBI in his 120th game, making him the eighth fastest Tech player to reach 100 RBI. Below is a list of Red Raiders with 100 career RBI (since 2000) and how quickly they reached the milestone. Player (Years at Tech) Career Games to Reach 100 RBI Cameron Blair ( ) 69 Nick Blankenship ( ) 90 Josh Haney ( ) 107 Gera Alvarez ( ) 115 Roger Kieschnick ( ) 117 SCOTT LeJEUNE ( ) 118 Chris Richburg (2005, ) 119 BARRETT BARNES ( ) 120 Matt Smith ( ) 123 Taylor Ashby ( ) 149 Cody Fuller ( ) 158 Madison Edwards ( ) 174 Joey Kenworthy ( ) 181 BROYLES MAKES BACK-TO-BACK 7 INNING STARTS TO BEGIN TECH CAREER Shane Broyles became the first Tech pitcher in over 11 years to make back-to-back seveninning starts to begin his career. Broyles earned the win in his career debut pitching 7.1 innings with six strikeouts against Tennessee Tech (2/18) and followed up that performance by pitching 7.2 innings with three strikeouts in a win over No. 18 St. John s (2/26). PROUDFOOT BECOMES SECOND FASTEST TECH PLAYER TO THREE CAREER TRIPLES Freshman Tim Proudfoot recorded his third triple in his ninth game played this season to make him the second fastest Red Raider to three career triples over the past 11 years. The only Tech player to reach three career triples faster than Proudfoot is Jose Delgado, who posted his third triple in just his seventh game as a Red Raider. Proudfoot delivered his third triple in style with a walk-off triple to right field against Northern Illinois in the bottom of the ninth inning to give Tech a 3-2 victory (2/27). TECH PITCHERS MAKING THEIR MARK EARLY IN THE SEASON Texas Tech has started the season 8-1 in large part because of its pitching. Not only has Tech not allowed its opponent to score more than eight runs in a game (through nine games), but the Red Raiders have also received nine consecutive five-plus inning starts from its starters. That marks the first time in over 15 years that Tech has received nine straight five-plus inning starts to open a season. BACK-TO-BACK GAMES WITHOUT ALLOWING EXTRA-BASE HIT The Red Raiders pitchers went back-to-back games (vs. Northern Illinois/vs. No. 18 St. John s) without allowing an extra-base hit. It marked the first time in over 11 years the Red Raiders have gone back-to-back games without allowing an extra-base hit. TECH EARN 1ST WIN OVER A TOP-25 NON-CONF OPPONENT AT HOME SINCE 2006 Texas Tech s victory over No. 18 St. John s in the Brooks Wallace Memorial Classic opener on Feb. 24 marked more than just a win over a top-25 ranked opponent, it marked Tech s first over a top-25 non-conference team at home since April 17, 2006 when the Red Raiders handed No. 10 Arizona State a 7-2 loss in Lubbock. BARNES COLLECTS FIRST CAREER INSIDE-THE-PARK HOME RUN Barrett Barnes is used to hitting home runs, he now has 27 for his career, but his 26th career home run came in a different fashion as he had to leg it out while hitting the ball of the top of the center field wall and then made it around the bases for a three-run, insidethe-park home run. The homer gave Tech a 4-1 advantage over No. 18 St. John s, which they would end up holding for the win. It was the first inside-the-park home run by a Red Raider since February 27, 2010 (Nick Popescu, 3-run HR, vs. Bethune-Cookman). PAIZ TOSSES 5 NO-HIT INNINGS DURING SEASON DEBUT VS. NORTHERN ILLINOIS Texas Tech sophomore David Paiz became the first Red Raider to carry a no-hitter through five innings since April 20, 2007 (A.J. Ramos IP, vs. Kansas) during his season debut when he pitched five innings with one walk and four strikeouts. Paiz served the majority of his freshman season as the Red Raiders Friday-night starter. RED RAIDERS HOLD NORTHERN ILLINOIS WITHOUT A HIT FOR EIGHT INNINGS Texas Tech had four pitchers (David Paiz, Jerad McCrummen, Andre Wheeler, Trey Masek) combine on a no-hitter through eight innings against Northern Illinois on Monday, Feb. 27, while the Huskies finally broke into the hit column in the top of the ninth inning. The last time the Red Raiders held an opponent without a hit through eight innings was on Feb. 20, 2006 against Eastern New Mexico State during a 16-0 victory. Also in that game, Eastern New Mexico tallied two hits in the ninth inning.

7 GAME NOTES JOHN NEELY ENTERS THE GAME = OPPONENT POWER OUTAGE Texas Tech All-American closer John Neely has pitched 70.2 consecutive innings without allowing a home run, which includes his last 34 appearances. The streak dates back to March 26, 2010 against No. 8 Texas (DH Kevin Keyes led off the top of the fourth with a solo HR to left-center field in Lubbock). In fact, Neely became the first Red Raider pitcher in over 16 years to not allow a home run during a season (min. 25 IP) in NINE-GAME HOMESTAND Texas Tech opened the season with an 8-1 record during its nine-game homestand. It marked Tech s best record during a season-opening extended homestand (7-plus games) since the Red Raiders opened the 1997 season with an 11-1 record during a 12-game homestand. It also marked the fourth consecutive season that the Red Raiders had began the season with a homestand of at least six games. Last season Tech opened the campaign with a school-record 18-game homestand (12-6 record). DAN SPENCER LOOKING TO BECOME THIRD TECH HEAD COACH WITH 100 WINS Texas Tech head coach Dan Spencer has 94 career wins in his fourth seasons as the skipper of the Red Raiders.
