With the return of junior pitcher Regan Green, Baylor softball is looking to squeeze its way into the Big 12 Tournament after snapping an eight-game losing streak with back-to-back shutout victories against Lamar University. With seven games left in the season, the Lady Bears tackle a series against Iowa State beginning Thursday at Getterman Stadium.
Green was the Big 12 Pitcher of the Week in early March. Her performance against Southern Utah was one of the best of her career with 11 strikeouts and a 50% strikeout rate. Yet, shortly after her impressive game, a rib stress fracture took Green out for weeks, leaving the Lady Bears to struggle without one of their leaders.
