The Texas Tech baseball team always appreciates Logan Hughes's presence, given that he leads the Red Raiders in home runs and runs batted in.
They got a gentle reminder of his importance Sunday.
Hughes delivered a go-ahead two-run double in a five-run eighth inning, then made a diving catch in left field to end the game as Tech rallied past Cincinnati 12-8, salvaging the last game in a doubleheader and a three-game Big 12 series at Dan Law Field/Rip Griffin Park.
That was after Hughes homered in the third inning and drew a warning from an umpire.
"He got a warning because he turned and looked at (first-base coach) J-Bob (Thomas) and made a gesture, and they thought he turned and looked at the (Cincinnati) dugout," Tech coach Tim Tadlock said. "Which, I could see how you can misinterpret that. So he got a warning. Thank goodness it was just a warning."
