Polk’s late homer not enough as baseball drops heartbreaker to ACU, 5-2, in extras

By Foster Nicholas | Sports Writer

While Baylor baseball’s pitching arms kept the Bears in the game, struggles at the plate and leaving 14 runners on base plagued the green and gold, as it fell 5-2 in 11 innings to Abilene Christian University Tuesday night at Baylor Ballpark.

Following a demoralizing three-game road trip against Big 12 foe and then-No. 15 Oklahoma State University over the weekend, head coach Mitch Thompson and the Bears (9-16, 2-4 Big 12) looked to find the win column once more. Baylor hoped to do so as it hosted the ACU Wildcats (18-6, 7-2 Western Athletic Conference) Tuesday.
