<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">The Bears rallied behind starting pitcher Dariana Orme, who pitched her second complete game in a matter of four days, as she held the Red Raider offense to just two hits while striking out five.
<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">As three Bears recorded hits tonight, the first came in the bottom of the first when Ana Watson laid down a perfect bunt to the pitcher. Sydney Collazos singled in the next inning, moving Aliyah Binford over to
third after she walked and stole 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">After Baylor threatened in the second, both teams were retired in order in the third before a run in the fourth inning gave the Bears the 1-0 advantage. Josie Bower singled, stole second and advanced to third on
a throwing error by the Red Raiders before Binford walked to put runners on the corners. Bower came home on a wild pitch and scored the only run of the night.
<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">Texas Tech had chances again in the fifth and sixth innings, but the Bears capitalized off of Orme’s pitching and the defense to hold the Red Raiders scoreless.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">“Putting up zeroes, it’s hard to ask any more out of her. I thought she was good. Coach (Britni) Newman called a great game, and she responded to it. Early on, I thought she was throwing too many pitches. I’m always
like that. I’m highly critical of throwing three-ball counts, although she doesn’t walk many. She does come back. I think an area she will improve in to make her go to another level is being able to get rid of batters quicker and not go so deep in the count.
I was very impressed with her to put up that many zeroes.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">“I think we’re in the part of our season where we’ve worked up to it. My endurance is ready. We’ve been working for that. When I’m in the circle, I’m not even thinking about how many pitches I’ve thrown. I’m like, go pound the zone for
my team.”<o:p></o:p></p>
