Pair of four-run frames powers Bears to midweek victory over Texans
WACO, Texas – A pair of four-run frames powered Baylor baseball to an 11-4 victory over Tarleton Tuesday night at Baylor Ballpark in Waco.
The Bears (21-26) racked up 11 runs on 10 hits with a pair of players posting multi-hit nights in junior outfielder Ty Johnson, who hit his second-career home run, and junior infielder Hunter Teplanszky, who became the third Bear this season to reach base safely in eight-straight plate appearances.
Seven BU pitchers combined to hold Tarleton (25-24) to four scattered runs. Four Baylor relievers worked scoreless outings, including freshman southpaw Mason Green, who collected his second win of the year and senior right-hander Grant Golomb, who picked up his second-career save.
THE RUNDOWN
The Bears got things started in the first with a two-out, two-run double by Teplanszky, but quickly found themselves in a tie ballgame after the Texans plated a pair in the top of the second. Redshirt junior outfielder Enzo Apodaca made a leaping catch and crashed into the right-field wall, but a pair of baserunners tagged up, resulting in a sacrifice fly. One batter later, another sacrifice fly knotted the scoreline.
BU responded and put up four runs in the home half on two hits and three walks to take back the lead, as eight batters came to the plate. Fifth-year senior infielder Cole Posey singled in two and later scored on a wild pitch, sandwiched in between a sac fly from senior infielder Daniel Altman.
Teplanszky scampered home on a wild pitch in the bottom of the fourth to extend the Baylor lead to 7-2. Tarleton got a few back in the sixth and seventh thanks to RBI singles in each inning and cut the Bears' lead to 7-4.
But in the bottom of the eighth, Baylor would pull away as the Bears batted around and put another four runs on the board behind Johnson's solo home run, a two-run triple by redshirt junior outfielder Kade Fletcher, and an RBI single by junior catcher Cortlan Castle.
HIGHLIGHTS
• Baylor improved to 3-1 all-time against Tarleton.
• 11 runs marked the 10th time that BU has scored 10 or more runs in a game this season.
• The Bears racked up 10 hits as a team, marking the 19th time this season to eclipse double digits in the hit column.
• Baylor stole three bases, marking just the third time this year that the team has swiped at least three bags.
• Redshirt junior OF Enzo Apodaca collected his 43rd-career double, extending his hitting streak to five games.
• Junior OF Ty Johnson collected his 15th multi-hit game of the season, going 2-for-3 with four runs scored.
• Johnson also hit his second home run of the season.
• Fifth-year senior INF Cole Posey notched his fifth multi-RBI game of the season.
• Junior INF Hunter Teplanszky logged his 16th multi-hit and eighth multi-RBI game of the year, going 2-for-2 with two RBIs and three walks.
• Teplanszky became the third Bear to reach in eight-straight plate appearances this season, after getting on in all five trips against Tarleton and his last three PA's against TCU on Sunday.
• Teplanszky also extended his on-base streak to five games.
• Redshirt junior OF Kade Fletcher recorded his first-career triple and drove in a pair of runs for his second multi-RBI game of 2024.
• Freshman LHP Mason Green collected his second win of the season after striking out three in 1.2 scoreless innings of relief.
• Redshirt junior RHP Andrew Petrowski logged his fourth multi-strikeout outing of 2024 after punching out a pair in his lone inning of work.
• Redshirt junior RHP Gabe Craig posted his 10th scoreless outing of the season.

Head Coach Mitch Thompson
On the importance of tonight's win…
"It's just good to get back on the winning side. It's good to get back out there on the mound, to have guys for the most part throw the ball pretty well. We got [Brayden] Buchanan and RJ [Ruais] at-bats and opportunities again, rested Cort [Castle] pretty much today, so it was a good win. I thought the guys played well. We were aggressive on the bases. We jumped out on them early and it was a good ballgame for us."
Junior Infielder Hunter Teplanszky
On taking momentum into the weekend…
"You never know when the page is going to turn, so getting a win like this gives us all the confidence in the world going into the weekend. There's a lot of guys who had good days. Having days like that, you never know when those help turn the page and get you rolling again."
On the offensive approach…
"The kind of offense we play is stringing good AB's together and moving guys. We hit the long ball tonight with Ty [Johnson], but we don't hit many of them so we just have to string together a bunch of good AB's, keep doing that and force the issue on offense and score runs."
WHAT'S NEXT
Baylor (21-26, 9-15) heads up to Norman, Okla., to face the league-leading and 17th-ranked Oklahoma Sooners (29-17, 18-6) in its final three-game road series of the season, beginning Friday, May 10, at 6:30 p.m. from L. Dale Mitchell Park.
