</span></b><span style="font-size:10.5pt;color:black;letter-spacing:.25pt">In a wild second game of the series, Baylor baseball (13-22, 5-9) upset No. 12 Texas (25-12, 7-4) with a five-run comeback in the bottom of the ninth inning on Saturday at Baylor Ballpark
in Waco.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;color:black;letter-spacing:.25pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;color:black;letter-spacing:.25pt">Sophomore INF Hunter Teplanszky delivered the walk-off, two-run single that was overturned after review as part of a five-run inning on just two BU hits. Freshman C Zach Mazoch
scored the game-tying run, then freshman OF Caleb Bergman slid in safely just before the tag to seal the win.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;color:black;letter-spacing:.25pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;color:black;letter-spacing:.25pt">Freshman LHP/OF Ethan Calder gave the Bears 4.1 frames of great relief work, striking out a career-high five in bridging the game to the late innings. Junior RHP Cole Stasio
got the win after recording the final five outs without allowing a baserunner.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;color:black;letter-spacing:.25pt">Texas put up a four-spot in the top of the first inning, but Baylor responded emphatically with five runs in the bottom half, chasing the UT starter after just two-thirds of
an inning. The first three batters all reached in junior INF/OF Cole Posey, Teplanszky and freshman INF Kolby Branch, then a wild pitch plated the Bears’ first run.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;color:black;letter-spacing:.25pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;color:black;letter-spacing:.25pt">After back-to-back strikeouts, two consecutive walks scored another run, then junior C Harrison Caley tied things with a two-run single. Bergman’s RBI knock gave BU a lead
after what amounted to be a 43-minute first inning.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;color:black;letter-spacing:.25pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;color:black;letter-spacing:.25pt">Things were mostly quiet through the fifth, though UT picked up the tying run in the third. In the sixth, the Longhorns added a pair to go ahead 7-5, then plated another two
in the top of the eighth to extend their lead to 9-5.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;color:black;letter-spacing:.25pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;color:black;letter-spacing:.25pt">In the bottom of the ninth, BU’s rally began with one out as junior RHP/OF Cole Tremain singled, then advanced on a wild pitch. Two more walks loaded the bases, then back-to-back
hit-by-pitches chased in two runs, cutting the UT lead to 9-7. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;color:black;letter-spacing:.25pt">After Bergman reached on a run-scoring fielder’s choice, Posey walked to load the bases and Teplanszky came through on the first pitch he saw to single in the game-winning
runs.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
