Baseball’s clutch homers notch series win over Kansas
By Michael Haag | Sports Writer
After splitting the first two games, Baylor baseball clinched its first conference series win of the season, this time over the University of Kansas by a score of 6-5 Saturday afternoon at Baylor Ballpark.
Two seventh-inning home runs gave the Bears (18-17, 4-8 Big 12) all they needed to hold off the Jayhawks (14-20, 2-7 Big 12). Baylor recorded zero errors or walks across all three contests.
Even though the Bears dropped Thursday’s series-opener 3-2, the offense erupted for a 19-2 victory on Friday to carry into Saturday’s success. Head coach Steve Rodriguez loved to see the team get a series win in order to reestablish some confidence.
