<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black;letter-spacing:.25pt">The Bears were unable to overcome a 12-run third inning by the ‘Kats, who sent 17 men to the plate and tallied nine hits in the frame.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black;letter-spacing:.25pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black;letter-spacing:.25pt">After two more SHSU runs came across in the fourth, three BU pitchers held the Bearkats to just one run over the final 4.2 innings in senior
right-hander Grant Golomb, redshirt junior righty Andrew Petrowski and junior right-hander Will Glatch.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black;letter-spacing:.25pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black;letter-spacing:.25pt">Fifth-year senior infielder Mason Greer, senior infielder Daniel Altman and junior infielder Tyriq Kemp each collected RBIs for Baylor, while
senior catcher Harrison Caley hit the first triple of his Baylor career. Junior outfielder Wesley Jordan extended his team-leading on-base streak to 12 games, reaching three times in five plate appearances with a hit and two walks.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black;letter-spacing:.25pt">SHSU got on the board early with a two-run home run and scored another run on a passed ball in the first inning to take a quick 3-0 lead.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black;letter-spacing:.25pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black;letter-spacing:.25pt">Baylor responded in the third with a run of its own, as Greer knocked in Caley with a sacrifice fly.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black;letter-spacing:.25pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black;letter-spacing:.25pt">However, SHSU broke things open with a 12-spot in the bottom of the third from which BU never recovered. The Bearkats added a pair of runs
to its tally in the fourth with two RBI doubles, extending the advantage to 17-1.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black;letter-spacing:.25pt">In the top of the sixth, Baylor threatened for a crooked number but settled for two runs after Altman walked with the bases loaded and Kemp
delivered a sacrifice fly. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
