THE RUNDOWN
WACO, Texas – Baylor softball bounced back in a big way with an 8-0 victory over Sam Houston in five innings on Wednesday night at Getterman Stadium.
Baylor jumped out to take the lead in the first inning as Lou Gilbert got things started with a single to right field before she stole second and advanced to third on a sacrifice bunt by Emily Hott. Goose McGlaun then walked to put runners on the corners for Aliyah Binford whose sacrifice fly to left field scored Gilbert.
Taylor Ellis followed that up with a home run over the right field wall to put three runs on the board for the home team in the opening frame.
Two innings later, the Lady Bears put up a five-spot off four hits as Hott and McGlaun led off with back-to-back singles. A sacrifice fly by Zadie LaValley scored a run before Hannah Smith dropped a single into center field to plate two. A couple more runs came home for Baylor when Sydney Collazos demolished a double to the center field wall.
Sidney Holman-Mansell had a one-hitter going into the fifth inning but a slow infield roller put an end to those chances with two outs on the board. Mansell got the win as she gave up two hits with six strikeouts in 4.2 innings of work.
Ellis had a day at the plate as the senior went 2-for-2 with two RBI and two runs scored.
HIGHLIGHTS
3 – Number of wins head coach Glenn Moore needs to reach 800 at Baylor.
