THEY SAID IT
Glenn Moore on Baylor's performance ...
"Parts of this game were played well;
Kendall Potts did everything she needed to do to keep us in the game, but we just couldn't get the timely hits we needed. We had runners on base with the right people in the batter's box, and we couldn't push anything across."

Baylor begins a three-game set in Lawrence, Kan. vs. the Jayhawks Friday at 5 p.m.
