SERIES SUMMARY
GAME 1: The Bears came out smokin’ to grab the first game in impressive fashion. Baylor cracked 4 home runs and roughed up Patrick Monteverde with a 6-run 2nd inning that changed the complexion of the game very early. The Red Raiders’ offense never generated more than a run in an inning and went 1-2-3 in 4 innings – three vs. Tyler Thomas, who allowed only 4 hits in 7 IP. Easton Murrell and Dru Baker produced 2 hits apiece for Texas Tech and Braxton Fulford belted his 8th home run. But the rest of the Red Raider batting order was a combined 3-for-21.
