<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="color:black">LAWRENCE, Kan. – </span></b><span style="color:black">Baylor softball’s seventh-inning run gave the Bears the 4-3 lead and the win to secure the series win over the Jayhawks Saturday afternoon at Arrocha Ballpark.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">BU got on the board first tonight, plating a run in the first inning. McKenzie Wilson started things off with a single through the left side and then promptly stole second. On a single to center field from Josie
Bower, Wilson came home to score from second. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Ana Watson, who went 2-for-2 tonight with a hit by pitch, singled in the second inning but that was all for the Bears.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Starting pitcher Dariana Orme shut the Jayhawks down in order to close out the second and picked up two strikeouts.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">After a quiet inning from both sides in the third, Kansas plated three runs in the bottom of the fourth to take the 3-1 lead on a passed ball and a double.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Not going down without a fight, the Bears answered in the top of the fifth with singles from Watson and Rhein Trochim that put two on with one out. Wilson then doubled to centerfield clearing the bases and knotting
the game at 3-3. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Orme recorded another 1-2-3 inning in the bottom of the fifth. Both teams had runners on in the sixth but the game stayed tied going into the final inning.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">With one out, Hott singled to centerfield to get things started in the seventh. After Bower was hit by a pitch, Aliyah Binford reached on a fielder’s choice that scored Hott from third with a sliding play at home
to give Baylor the 4-3 advantage. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">A three-up, three-down bottom of the seventh closed out the game and secured the Bears second win over the Jayhawks.
