</b>Baylor baseball saw its four-game winning streak snapped at the hands of Tarleton State on Tuesday night with a 5-1 loss at Magnolia Field at Baylor Ballpark in Waco.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; margin: 0in;">

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.25pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt; color: black;">The Bears (16-12) struck first on a 436-foot leadoff home run from redshirt junior infielder Travis Sanders, but the Texans (20-8) responded with a three-run
second inning to take control. TSU added runs in the fifth and seventh to extend the lead and pull away from BU.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; margin: 0in;">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; margin: 0in;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.25pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt; color: black;">Baylor’s best chance came in the bottom of the fifth, when the Bears loaded the bases with just one out, but an inning-ending double play squandered the
threat.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; margin: 0in;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.25pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt; color: black;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; margin: 0in;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.25pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt; color: black;">On the mound, senior LHP Stefan Stahl tossed a scoreless first inning with two strikeouts in his first appearance in over a month, while freshman righty
Caldwell McFaddin and senior right-hander Grayson Murry added multi-strikeout outings in relief. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; margin: 0in;">

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.25pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt; color: black;"><b>THE RUNDOWN</b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; margin: 0in;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.25pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt; color: black;">BU wasted no time in getting on the board, as Sanders delivered a solo shot on the third pitch he saw. The 436-foot blast, his third of the season, gave
the Bears a quick 1-0 lead. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; margin: 0in;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.25pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt; color: black;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; margin: 0in;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.25pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt; color: black;">On the bump, Stahl was sharp from the start, retiring the Texans side in order on just 12 pitches with a pair of strikeouts. However, TSU took advantage
of a pitching change and crushed a three-run homer in the top of the second to take a 3-1 lead.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; margin: 0in;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.25pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt; color: black;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; margin: 0in;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.25pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt; color: black;">Things stayed quiet through the next two frames before the visitors added to their lead in the top of the fifth with a solo home run. BU threatened to answer
in the home half, loading the bases with a walk and back-to-back singles, but an inning-ending double play kept the Bears off the scoreboard.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; margin: 0in;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.25pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt; color: black;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; margin: 0in;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.25pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt; color: black;">Tarleton State added another run in the top of the seventh, using a double and a bunt single to set up a run-scoring double play. That would be all, as
both pitching staffs were sharp in the latter frames and things held steady at 5-1 as the Texans claimed their 20<sup>th</sup> win of the season.</span></p>

got to give the other guys credit too. Tonight, we’ve got to swing the bats better. Sometimes that happens on a Tuesday following a big weekend and I didn’t think that we were not ready to go, I think that we just got beat. They’ve got a good club, they’re
winning a lot of games. It’s a well-coached team, they’ve got good arms and they came in here and played better than us tonight.” </span></p>
