OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Jackson Cramer's three-run double highlighted a six-run 10th inning as West Virginia rallied to oust top-seeded Texas Tech from the Big 12 Conference Tournament with a 12-7 win on Friday.
The win advances the Mountaineers (34-23) to a Saturday matchup with Oklahoma State, while the top-seeded Red Raiders (43-15) now await their NCAA Tournament destination.
West Virginia trailed 6-4 entering the ninth inning, but Cramer — who was 2 for 5 with five RBIs — singled to right and two runs scored for the Mountaineers, aided by an error on the play by Texas Tech. With West Virginia up 8-6 in the top of the 10th, Cramer then put the game out of reach with his double to right field.
Braden Zarbnisky (6-1) allowed one run in four innings to earn the win for West Virginia. Caleb Freeman (0-1) took the loss in relief for the Red Raiders.
