Ty Johnson stole third and scored on a UCF throwing error to go in front for good. Sixth-year senior closer Gabe Craig locked things down in the bottom of the ninth, earning his 10<sup>th</sup> save of the season with a 1-2-3 frame.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black;letter-spacing:.25pt;mso-ligatures:none">Baylor jumped out to 1-0 lead right away on a solo home run by redshirt sophomore infielder Travis Sanders in the top of
the first, a 391-foot blast off the top of the videoboard in right-center at John Euliano Park.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black;letter-spacing:.25pt;mso-ligatures:none"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black;letter-spacing:.25pt;mso-ligatures:none">Bears starter sophomore southpaw Mason Green settled in nicely behind the quick lead, retiring the first seven he faced
before a allowing a one-out single in the third. But, back-to-back flyouts ended the inning and helped Green put up a third-straight zero in the early stages.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black;letter-spacing:.25pt;mso-ligatures:none"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black;letter-spacing:.25pt;mso-ligatures:none">BU threatened in three of its first four offensive frames, but grounded into a pair of inning-ending double plays and lined
into another to squash the run-scoring opportunities and keep things at a one-run game through three and a half.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black;letter-spacing:.25pt;mso-ligatures:none"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black;letter-spacing:.25pt;mso-ligatures:none">UCF knotted the scoreline at 1-1 with a two-out RBI double in the bottom of the fourth, though its bid for the lead was
snuffed but a tandem relay from redshirt senior outfielder Enzo Apodaca to senior shortstop Tyriq Kemp, who fired to Castle at the plate to apply the tag.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black;letter-spacing:.25pt;mso-ligatures:none"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black;letter-spacing:.25pt;mso-ligatures:none">In the fifth, the Bears retook the lead as Castle doubled with two outs and chased redshirt senior designated hitter Hunter
Simmons in all the way from first, giving BU a 2-1 advantage. Green capped off his day with another scoreless frame, working around a one-out single that was erased by Castle trying to advance on a passed ball.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black;letter-spacing:.25pt;mso-ligatures:none"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black;letter-spacing:.25pt;mso-ligatures:none">Redshirt sophomore right-hander Lucas Davenport took over in the sixth and worked a 1-2-3 inning before UCF scored two runs
to go in front in the seventh. With one out and a runner moving from first, Knights catcher Dylan King lined a ball to deep center field where Johnson made a leaping effort at the wall, but the ball popped out of his glove and allowed the tying run to score
on what went for a double. Later in the inning, a two-out infield single plated another run as UCF took a 3-2 lead.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black;letter-spacing:.25pt;mso-ligatures:none"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black;letter-spacing:.25pt;mso-ligatures:none">After nothing came of an Apodaca single in the top of the eighth for Baylor, the Knights added on in the home half with
a sacrifice fly to extend the lead to 4-2.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black;letter-spacing:.25pt;mso-ligatures:none"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black;letter-spacing:.25pt;mso-ligatures:none">In the ninth, the first two Bears reached on back-to-back walks, then advanced into scoring position as Simmons laid down
a sacrifice bunt. A run-scoring groundout pulled BU within a run, then the magic happened as Johnson was hit by a pitch with two outs. After fouling off the first pitch he saw, Castle grounded one between the shortstop and third baseman for an infield single,
allowing freshman infielder Pearson Riebock to score the game-tying run. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black;letter-spacing:.25pt;mso-ligatures:none"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black;letter-spacing:.25pt;mso-ligatures:none">Johnson then took matters into his own hands, stealing third base and scoring the go-ahead run on a throwing error by the
Knights catcher. That allowed Baylor to bring on the closer, Craig, who made his 21<sup>st</sup> scoreless appearance of the season in shutting things down and sealing the series-opening victory.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
