Saturday DBR: Mixed Emotions

Baylor sports finished 2-3 yesterday, but the Dallas Stars are going to the playoffs for the first time since 2008!

The weekend is here, which means Baylor sports returneth. The theme of the weekend is Oklahoma; the Tennis teams and Softball are all facing Oklahoma and/or Oklahoma State. That state to the north won round one. It's revenge time.

In Season: Baseball and Softball

Baylor finally found their offense yesterday, scoring eight runs. Unfortunately, despite starting arguably our best pitcher, Kuntz, Baylor forgot to bring their defense to Dallas, as they allowed a whopping twelve runs.

The Bears scored two in the first off of a Grayson Porter homer to take the lead...that wouldn't last the inning. By the sixth inning, Dallas Baptist had brought twelve runners across the dirt-covered pentagon. Baylor would mount a rally, but could only muster six more runs.

A triple play is pretty sweet though.

Baylor and DBU play a double header on the banks of the Brazos. Remember, it's community tailgate day, so there's lots of free stuff!

No. 13 Oklahoma Edges No. 12 SB, 3-2 in Big 12 Series Opener - BaylorBears.com

It had to happen eventually. Whitney Canion gave up a run. A two-run homer by Oklahoma's Leslie Miller ended a 21.1 inning streak of scoreless softball under Canion. Three runs in the fifth inning put the Sooners out in front, where they would remain.

The Lady Bears actually loaded the bases twice, but were only able to bring in one run from these situations. They left a total of seven runners on base.

Hopefully Baylor can tie up the series today at 4:00 in Waco. The game will also be nationally broadcast on ESPN. Coach Scott Drew will be throwing out the first pitch and  Ian McCaw will be present Whitney Canion with her 100th career win ball.

Off Season: Football and MBB
