<p style="text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Much like last Friday night at No. 2 Texas, the Bears were inches away from tying the game in the top of the fifth on a Leah Cran single, but a perfect throw and tag from
Arizona cut down Karynton Dawson at the plate to keep it a 3-2 Wildcat advantage.</span></p>

<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">U of A then exploded for seven more runs over the next two innings to seal the game and take the opener in the series.</span></p>

<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Arizona struck first in the opening inning, using a leadoff single and stolen base from Regan Shockey before Tayler Biehl drove in the game’s first run with an RBI single
to center.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; background-color: white; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: black;">Baylor answered in the second inning as Kaygen Marshall blasted a solo home run to deep left field, tying the game at one.</span></p>

<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: black;">Baylor trimmed the deficit in the fifth as Amber Toven worked a walk before Leah Cran delivered an RBI single up the middle to score the senior. Karynton Dawson nearly tied the game
right behind Toven, but was cut down at the plate to limit the Bears to a one-run inning.</span></p>
