• Baylor closes out its five-game home stand with a three-game series against the Kansas Jayhawks over the weekend. BU is playing its first weekend series at home since March 20-21 vs. Houston.<br>
• The Lady Bears, who hold a 37-28 overall advantage over KU, haven't lost to the Jayhawks in Waco since April 7, 2012 (1-6).<br>
• Baylor is coming off a midweek doubleheader against No. 1 Oklahoma. Baylor took a 1-0 lead over the Sooners in the first inning of the first game and held on for three innings before OU took over in the fourth. <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> and the Baylor defense retired the first 13 OU batters before allowing a hit to the top-hitting team in the country. BU became the third team this season to outhit Oklahoma (Game 1) and to hold OU without a home run in a game
(Game 2).<br>
• <dfn><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><a href="https://baylorbears.com/coaches.aspx?rc=1633"><span style="color:#154734">Glenn Moore</span></a></span></dfn> is one win away from recording 800 at Baylor. His is the program's all-time wins leader
(799) and is the active wins leader across all sports for Baylor Athletics.<br>
• <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> and <dfn><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><a href="https://baylorbears.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=10385"><span style="color:#154734">Emily
Hott</span></a></span></dfn> are making a splash in Big 12 play as the two are among the top 10 in the conference in multiple categories in league action.<br>
• Hott has reached base safely in 26 straight games. That streak ties for sixth in program history alongside Kaitlyn Thumann (2014) and Kathy Shelton (2011-12).<br>
• <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> (3/16) and Rodoni (3/30) have each been named the Big 12 Pitcher of the week this
season, marking the first time since 2016 and the fourth season in program history (2004, 2014, 2016, 2021) that multiple Baylor pitchers have earned the weekly conference honors.<br>
• Gilbert moved into the leadoff spot with <dfn><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><a href="https://baylorbears.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=10380"><span style="color:#154734">Nicky Dawson's</span></a></span></dfn> injury. Gilbert has both the short game
and power as she has 44 hits to lead the team. Of those 44 hits, 17 of them are for extra bases (11 doubles, 2 triples, 4 home runs) and 12 of them are bunt singles.<br>
• Dawson 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>
