THE RUNDOWN
WACO, Texas – Baylor softball picks up a midweek sweep against Tarleton Tuesday night, as they defeat the Texans, 5-1 in game one and 7-1 in game two at Getterman Stadium.

Game 1: Baylor 5, Tarleton 1
The Bears came out with hot bats tonight, recording 10 hits in the game with Ana Watson and Emry McDonough picking up two each.

A scoreless game going into the bottom of the third, the Bears plated a run after leadoff singles from Emry McDonough and McKenzie Wilson put two on for Taylor Strain who bunted them over. Sydney Collazos then singled to centerfield, plating McDonough.

The Bears brought two more runs home in the next two innings, after a double from Kaci West and a two-RBI single from McDonough.

A combination of starting pitcher Dariana Orme and reliever Rachel Hertenberger, they combined to hold the Texans scoreless until the seventh. A solo homerun for Tarleton plated their only run of the game.

The pitching duo only allowed three hits while Orme struck out six and Hertenberger added two.

Taylor Strain brought in another run in the bottom of the third after she singled to right field, scoring pinch runner Grace Powell.

The Bears bats were silenced in the third inning before a three-run fourth inning put them up, 5-1. Strain who went 3-for-4 in game two recorded her second hit of the game, a two-RBI double before a RBI groundout plated another run.
