• Baylor hosts Houston for a two-game series over the weekend at Getterman Stadium. The two teams faced last season in what ended up being the last games of the year for both teams as the seasons were shut down shortly thereafter.<br>
• BU swept the doubleheader in Houston a year ago. <dfn><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><a href="https://baylorbears.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=10391"><span style="color:#154734">Gia Rodoni</span></a></span></dfn> nearly threw a perfect game, until
a bloop single in the seventh inning, in Baylor's 1-0 win in the first game before the bats got hot for the Lady Bears in the second game, a 10-6 win. Baylor hit four home runs in the fifth inning - back-to-back by <dfn><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><a href="https://baylorbears.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=10389"><span style="color:#154734">Goose
McGlaun</span></a></span></dfn> and <dfn><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><a href="https://baylorbears.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=10397"><span style="color:#154734">Aliyah Binford</span></a></span></dfn>. <dfn><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><a href="https://baylorbears.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=10383"><span style="color:#154734">Lou
Gilbert</span></a></span></dfn> hit the first of her career, and <dfn><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><a href="https://baylorbears.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=10395"><span style="color:#154734">Hannah Thompson</span></a></span></dfn> rounded things
out. Thompson ended up with two HRs in the game, the first time for BU since <dfn><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><a href="https://baylorbears.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=10382"><span style="color:#154734">Taylor Ellis</span></a></span></dfn> did so
at Oklahoma on April 5, 2019.<br>
• Binford was named the Big 12 Pitcher of the Week as she took over in the circle with the bases loaded and one out in Sunday's game at No. 9 Arizona State and held one of the most powerful offenses in the country scoreless on their home field. Binford kept
the Sun Devils off balance with her offspeed and induced a slew of groundouts to pick up the win. The right-hander gave up four hits through 5.2 innings of work.<br>
• Baylor is now 3-2 against ranked opponents this season. After opening the year with a loss to No. 25 Arkansas, the Lady Bears have won back-to-back games against ranked foes No. 25 Mississippi State (10-6) and No. 13 Louisiana (8-1). Over the weekend, Baylor
split at No. 9 Arizona State.<br>
• For a team among the nation's leaders in triples (9), Baylor more than tripled its home run production over the weekend. BU flew to Arizona with only three home runs on the season and came home with seven more. <dfn><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><a href="https://baylorbears.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=10401"><span style="color:#154734">Zadie
LaValley</span></a></span></dfn> hit her first career bomb to spark a seventh inning two-out rally at Arizona State on Thursday. McGlaun hit a walkoff solo shot against Northern Illinois on Friday before LaValley was at it again against GCU. <dfn><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><a href="https://baylorbears.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=10396"><span style="color:#154734">Ana
Watson</span></a></span></dfn> also went yard against the Lopes on Friday. Saturday was a home run derby for Baylor as Gilbert and Binford each hit dingers before <dfn><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><a href="https://baylorbears.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=10393"><span style="color:#154734">Hannah
Smith</span></a></span></dfn> hit her first career home run.<br>
• <dfn><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><a href="https://baylorbears.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=10380"><span style="color:#154734">Nicky Dawson</span></a></span></dfn> is Baylor's all-time leader in career triples with 12 after ripping one to left center
field against Louisiana Tech on March 7. The fifth-year senior outfielder now has five triples this season, a mark that ties her for first nationally. Dawson is now tied for second in program history for triples in a season alongside <dfn><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><a href="https://baylorbears.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=9655"><span style="color:#154734">Kyla
Walker</span></a></span></dfn> (2017), Carrie Leerberg (2004) and Kelly Osburn (2005). Harmony Schwethelm had six triples in 2005.<br>
• After 20 seasons as an assistant coach for the Lady Bears, Mark Lumley retired in October before he passed away in December after his fourth bout with cancer. The Baylor players and coaching staff will all be wearing blue ribbons in his honor. This season
is for Lum.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
