Owen Washburn hit two home runs, Damian Bravo and T.J. Pompey also went deep, and No. 22 Texas Tech run-ruled Texas Southern 16-5 in seven innings Sunday, completing a sweep of the three-game home series for the Red Raiders.

Tech scored three runs in the third inning, four in the fourth and seven in the fifth to erase a 2-0 deficit and blow the game open. Bravo homered over the batters' eye in center field leading off the third, and Kevin Bazzell and Washburn singled home runs.

Pompey pulled a two-run homer in the fourth, and the fifth-inning outburst included Austin Green's two-run double and Washburn's two-run homer.

Washburn reached base in all five of his plate appearances. He finished with five runs batted in, the others on a bases-loaded walk in the fourth and a two-run homer in the sixth.

Tech hosts Gardner-Webb in another non-conference series at 6:30 p.m. Friday, 2 p.m. Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday.

Here are three takeaways:

Bottom of the order bashes

Texas Tech banged out 13 hits in the series finale. Left fielder Damian Bravo, shortstop T.J. Pompey and right fielder Gage Harrelson had two hits and two RBIs apiece. Bravo and Pompey both scored three times, and Harrelson scored twice.

T.J. Pompey keeps helping himself

Pompey won the starting shortstop job in a crowded competition with Will Burns, a part-time starter last year, and Travis Sanders, a redshirt freshman. The talent of that group enabled Tech to move Tracer Lopez to second base after he started mostly at shortstop last season.

Pompey's given Tech coach Tim Tadlock no reason to reconsider. In the three-game series this weekend, Pompey went 10 for 15 with two home runs, nine runs batted in and nine scored. The freshman from Coppell raised his average to .441.

Jack Washburn is heating up early in the season

Texas Tech starting pitcher Jack Washburn racked up a career-high eight strikeouts in 4⅓ innings, topping the seven he notched for Mississippi in a 2022 game against Louisiana-Monroe.

For the second start in a row, Washburn struck out four in his first two innings. He did it the Sunday before against Oregon, which was his first game in nearly 20 months, coming back from a stress fracture in his scapula.

Texas Southern touched Washburn for four runs on six hits, including wind-aided home runs by Chase Cromer and Jason Lazo back-to-back in the third.
