WACO, Texas — Hoping to avoid a weekend sweep, West Virginia’s baseball team had a three-run lead in the seventh before Baylor rallied for a 10-4 win.

DH Paul McIntosh hit his team-leading fifth homer of the season for the Mountaineers (13-10, 0-3 Big 12), who chased Baylor starter Ryan Lockich in a three-run first.

The lead was 4-1 in the seventh before West Virginia’s Kade Strowd (2-2) ran into trouble.

After back-to-back two-out singles by Ryan Loftin and Richard Cunningham cut the gap to 4-3, Beau Lowery relieved and yielded a bases-loaded walk and two-run double to Andy Thomas.
