THE RUNDOWN
OKLAHOMA CITY – Baylor softball lost to Iowa State, 3-1, Saturday morning in the Phillips 66 Big 12 Championship.

The Lady Bears put a run on the board with no outs in the bottom of the first to take the lead. Lou Gilbert led things off with a walk and stole second to put a runner in scoring position for Emily Hott. The second-year freshman roped a double to center field to bring home Gilbert.

Baylor held onto the lead behind some great plays by the BU defense like a diving catch in center field by Alyssa Avalos and a diving stop at third by Taylor Ellis who made the throw to first from her knees for the out.

Iowa State, however, used a two-run fifth inning to take the lead before adding another in the seventh.

HIGHLIGHTS

  *   Baylor scored a run in the first inning of every game in the Phillips 66 Big 12 Championship.
  *   Lou Gilbert stole her 17th base of the season in the first inning. That ties her for third in the Big 12 this season.
  *   Emily Hott hit her ninth double of the season.

TOP QUOTES
Baylor head coach Glenn Moore on the game…
“Although we did nothing to help our postseason resume this weekend, I feel the one we have will be strong enough for a berth. Today we play a team that is red hot and came very close to playing in the Championship game. Gia (Rodoni) pitched well, and we played well but the breaks went against us. However, we are where we are because of Friday, and there was no reason for me not to have them ready.”
