<p><b>STORYLINES</b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><b>LEADING OFF</b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p>• Baylor returns home to round out its regular season slate with a four-game <span class="scayt-misspell-word">
homestand</span> at Baylor Ballpark, beginning Tuesday with a midweek matchup against Stephen F. Austin.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>• BU currently sits in 8th place in the Big 12 standings at 6-15 in conference play, with one Big 12 series remaining.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>• Baylor's magic number to clinch a spot in the Big 12 Tournament is one. It would take just one win over Oklahoma State,
<b>OR</b> just one Kansas loss to Texas to book BU's spot to Arlington.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>• Entering the final week of the regular season, the Bears are tied for the nation's lead with 54 double plays turned, and 1.12 twin killings per game.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>• BU has recorded at least one extra-base hit in each of its last 27 games and have notched at least two XBH in 16 of its last 17 games.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>• Senior RHP Jake Jackson was named the Big 12 Pitcher of the Week after his performance on Friday at Kansas State, tying a season-high with 7.0 IP and allowing just one run on six hits with three strikeouts and a walk.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>• Jackson is Baylor's fourth weekly Big 12 award recipient, BU's most in a season since 2018 (8).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>• In his last start, Tuesday's starter sophomore LHP Cam <span class="scayt-misspell-word">
Caley</span> carried a no-hitter into the sixth inning before allowing an RBI double.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>• Junior INF Jack Pineda leads the Big 12 and is tied for 15th nationally with five triples. He sits three behind the nation's leader with four regular-season games to play.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>• Five triples are the most by a Bear in a single season since Richard Cunningham led the team with five in 2016.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>• Baylor also ranks second in the league with 12 total triples on the year.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p><b>BY THE NUMBERS </b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p>• Baylor has never lost to SFA, boasting an unblemished 29-0 record all-time against the Lumberjacks.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>• Under seventh-year head coach Steve Rodriguez, the Bears are 2-0 against the 'Jacks.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>• In the last meeting between the two sides, Baylor won a 10-0 contest in 7 innings on April 23, 2019.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p><b>PROBABLE STARTERS</b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Tuesday, May 17 • 6:30 p.m. CT • <b>LHP Cam </b><span class="scayt-misspell-word"><b>Caley</b></span><b> (3-0, 6.92 ERA)</b> vs. RHP Patrick
<span class="scayt-misspell-word">Kudelka</span> (1-1, 11.84 ERA)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p><b>BROADCAST INFORMATION</b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p>• Tuesday's game will be streamed on Big 12 Now on ESPN+, with John Morris (Play-by-Play) and Pat Combs (Analyst) providing the commentary.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>• Fans can also tune in to ESPN Central Texas 1660 AM and 92.3 FM for the Baylor radio broadcast, featuring Derek Smith and Ryan Boyd on the call.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p><b>TURNING TWO</b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p>• Baylor leads the Big 12 and is tied for the nation's lead with 54 double plays turned in 2022 (1.12 per game).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>• The Bears rolled just 33 double plays in all of 2021 (0.65 per game).<o:p></o:p></p>
