Softball

No. 13/14 Baylor softball (32-6, 5-1 Big 12) finished off a three-game sweep over the Texas Tech Red Raiders (16-17, 3-3 Big 12), taking the 4-0 win on Saturday afternoon at Getterman Stadium. From Baylor Bears dot com.

Kelsee Selman (17-3) worked her ninth complete game of the season, including her third complete shutout, going 7.0 frames, allowing just two hits, and striking out five.

“[Selman] is pretty consistent for us. We know what we're going to get out of her. I think she's locked in right now to compete. Everything is working for her. Sometimes you just don't talk to a kid whenever they're in that zone. She's been in it for quite a while, ever since California. Maybe most of the year for that matter, she's thrown really well.” – Baylor head coach Glenn Moore.

“Our pitchers did great on the mound this weekend, I think they did really well. We all did our job as a whole team. I believe in our defense, but also our pitchers do a great job. The whole defense in general, we come together when we need to and make plays.” – Baylor freshman outfielder Maddison Kettler.

“We won two of three at Kansas and that was kind of a downer. Coming in and getting the sweep is going to help us out big time since we don’t have a midweek game. We’re going to practice and work on it and be ready for Iowa State.” – Baylor junior infielder Shelby Friudenberg.

Baylor gets a rare midweek off, returning to Getterman Stadium for a weekend series with Iowa State, April 7-9.

Baylor Softball: Highlights vs Texas Tech, Game 3

• Whenever Baylor coach Glenn Moore hands the ball to ace Kelsee Selman, he expects good things to happen no matter how much she’s pitched. Read complete story by WacoTrib’s John Werner at BearsExtra.

After collecting a win and a save in Friday’s doubleheader sweep, Selman somehow managed to top herself in Saturday’s series finale as she threw a two-hitter in the No. 13 Lady Bears’ 4-0 win over Texas Tech at Getterman Stadium.

The Lady Bears (32-6, 5-1) know they’ve got to win at home to have a shot at the Big 12 title, so finishing off the three-game sweep was vital. The Lady Bears have now won 12 straight games against the Red Raiders (16-17, 3-3).

“It’s really big, it’s one of those things we expect all the time,” Selman said. “We didn’t get the sweep at Kansas and that was a downer. But we knew we had a lot of games left that we needed to sweep.”
