After clawing its way back into the game with four late runs, Baylor baseball gave up a two spot in the top of the ninth and fell to Abilene Christian 6-4 on Wednesday night at Baylor Ballpark.
Head coach Mitch Thompson saw his Bears (1-7) forfeit a pair of errors in the field and commit three wild pitches to advance runners, which resulted in a pair of unearned runs that went on to be the difference in the tight ballgame. In addition, Baylor walked eight batters and stranded 11 runners on the basepaths.
