three hits, three walks and two strikeouts against Nevada. In 2019 he has appeared exclusively out of the pen, throwing 9.0 innings over six innings, striking out 15 while walking seven. He is 0-0 with a 3.00 ERA. For his career he has made 22 appearances,

<p class="p2"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">The Bears went 1-2 last weekend in a home series against Nebraska. The series was originally supposed to be in Lincoln, but due to inclement weather expected in the area during the weekend, both sides elected to
move the series to Waco. The Bears fell 12-4 in game one of the series on Friday, as the Huskers touched up starter Hayden Kettler for seven runs (six earned) in 4.1 innings of work. The offense was playing catch up after a four-run first inning and was never
able to close the gap. On Saturday, the Bears had a tough time getting the offense rolling against Husker starter Nate Fisher, and dropped a close pitchers’ duel, 2-0. The Bears were no-hit through 8.2 innings before Davis Wendzel broke up the combined no-hitter.
It was the first time the Bears have been one-hit at Baylor Ballpark. On Sunday, the bats woke up in a big way for the Bears, as they tied they cranked out 10 hits and tied their season-high of 18 hits in a 10-3 victory to salvage the season. Eight-of-nine
in the starting lineup had hits on the day, with six having multi-hit performances. Andy Thomas, Mack Mueller and Richard Cunningham each had three hits on the day and Thomas also drove in a team-high three runs on a personal-best three doubles. Baylor’s bullpen
held the Huskers scoreless through the final six frames and hitless through the final 3.2.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="p2"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">The Bears and Wildcats are set to meet for the first time on the diamond since March 25, 1968. The sport was reinstated at ACU in 1991 and the Wildcats are in their sixth season of NCAA Division I play. Out of the
Southland Conference, the Wildcats are led by first-year head coach Rick McCarty, former DBU pitching coach. The Wildcats are 9-7 entering the midweek tilt, coming off a series win over Northwestern State as they won the rubber match on Sunday, 6-2. They also
boast series sweeps over Arkansas-Pine Bluff and Hartford. The Bears and Wildcats have one common opponent so far on the season in Texas A&M, and the Wildcats lost 9-3 to the Aggies on March 6. They are led at the plate by Luis Trevino, who is hitting .410
on the year with 17 RBI and 4 home runs. Overall as a team they are hitting .269. On the mound, the Wildcats have a team ERA of 5.58 with 122 strikeouts in 140.00 innings of work.
