OKLAHOMA CITY — Baylor softball head coach Glenn Moore knows what it takes to beat an “elite-level hitting team” like Texas or Oklahoma, and it’s not by outscoring them in a shootout.
Backed by a pair of six spots in the first two innings, the top-seeded Longhorns overwhelmed the fourth-seeded Bears 14-3 via five-inning run-rule in the semifinal round of the Phillips 66 Big 12 Softball Tournament on Friday night at OGE Field at Devon Park.
Moore said his squad needed to compete better in the circle.
“You have to be able to hold that offense down with pitching,” Moore said.
