WACO, Texas – Baylor Softball shut out UTSA, 6-0, Wednesday night at Getterman Stadium.



THE RUNDOWN

Baylor started the game on a strong note holding the Roadrunners off after allowing a walk in the first inning. In the bottom half of the first, the Bears got on the board after a leadoff single from Brooklyn Carter who scored after a stolen base, a passed ball and a bunt single from Presleigh Pilon.



Getting things going in the second inning, Karynton Dawson reached on an error and Lexie Warncke singled before Dawson advanced to third on a throw to put runners on the corners for the Bears. With an infield single from Ashlyn Wachtendorf, the Bears brought home their second run before a bunt single from Carter loaded the bases. A two-run throwing error by the Roadrunners put BU on top 4-0 before a deep sacrifice fly from Shaylon Govan made it a 5-0 game.



Working out of a jam in the top of the third after UTSA recorded its first hit of the game and the Bears issued a walk, a 2-4-6-8-5 throw down stopped the runner from advancing to third base.



Pilon led off the bottom of the third with a single and stole second before a groundout advanced her to third base. An infield single from Dawson scored Pilon before a hit-by-pitch and single loaded the bases, but that would be all for the Bears in the third.



The Bears recorded a leadoff strikeout and sat the Roadrunners down in order in the fourth before allowing UTSA its second hit of the game in the fifth inning.



It was a quiet rest of the game for both sides as the Bears only allowed a walk in the top of the seventh before Sadie Ross shut the door with a strikeout to gibe Baylor the 6-0 win.
