THE RUNDOWN
WACO, Texas – Baylor softball dropped its series opener to Houston, 3-1, Saturday afternoon at Getterman Stadium.
Houston jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the top of the first, but the Lady Bears got one of the runs back an inning later.
Goose McGlaun led off the frame with a single up the middle, and Zadie LaValley followed with a single of her own to right center field. With runners on the corners and no outs, Josie Bower hit a groundout to first base that allowed McGlaun to come home.
After giving up the two-spot in the opening frame, Gia Rodoni found a groove in the circle and went to work. The senior right-hander finished the day with 10 strikeouts as she gave up three runs off five hits in her third complete game of the season.
HIGHLIGHTS
10 – Strikeouts by Gia Rodoni
TOP QUOTES
Baylor associate head coach Britni Newman on the game…
"As expected, Houston came out of the gates hungry. We gave away opportunities early in the game and couldn't recover. We will bounce back tomorrow."
UP NEXT
The Lady Bears close out the two-game series against Houston on Sunday with first pitch scheduled for 1 p.m.
