Baseball Earns First Series Win at Oklahoma Since 2000 - BaylorBears.com
Grayson Porter lead the charge for Baylor yesterday. The senior began the day with a two-out, three-run homer in the first inning. Oklahoma would equalize and jump out ahead in the second inning. In the third and fourth frames, the Bears would reclaim the lead for good. Matt Menard cracked an RBI double off the center field wall and the subsequently driven home by Porter's sacrifice fly. In the fourth Adam Toth knocked in an RBI single, followed by a two-run double from the man of the match to give the Bears an 8-5 edge. The Fourth is strong with this one.
Starting pitcher Drew Tolson got off to a rough start, but recovered well, retiring nine of his last eleven hitters. Sean Spicer came in in the seventh to maintain the scoreline and closer Josh Michalec did was he does and earned his 18th save on the year.
