Baylor Sweeps Doubleheader from ORU

WACO, Texas-Baylor swept a doubleheader from Oral Roberts on Saturday, winning the opener 14-2, and taking the nightcap 7-6, at Baylor Ballpark.

In game one, Baylor (6-6) scored five runs in the bottom of the first inning against ORU starter Mikey Torrence (0-1). Greg Glime blasted a three-run home run to highlight the scoring for the Bears.

Baylor added single runs in the second and fourth for a 7-0 lead before ORU (2-6) got on the board in the top of the fifth when a 2-run single by Chris Elder made it 7-2.

The Bears broke it open with six runs in the bottom of the sixth. Chris Slater highlighted the scoring with a 3-run homer as Baylor took a 14-2 lead.

In game two the Bears jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the first on Raynor Campbell's 2-run homer.

But the Golden Eagles came right back to tie the game in the top of the second. An RBI double by Brett Burch and a sacrifice fly by Robert Barbosa knotted the score at 2-2.

Baylor scratched across a run in the bottom of the third on a Campbell sacrifice fly, but ORU came right back with a pair of runs in the top of the fourth. Joey Winecki knocked in both runs with a one-out double as ORU gained a 4-3 lead, though it didn't last long.

The Bears picked up RBI base hits by Brooks Pinckard and Campbell in the bottom of the fifth for a 5-4 lead, and Baylor added two more runs in the sixth for a 7-4 lead.

ORU closed to within 7-5 when a run scored on a double play in the seventh and P.J. Sequeira made it 7-6 with a two-out RBI single in the top of the ninth but Seth Furmanek struck out to end the game.

The Golden Eagles collected 11 hits in game two. Colby Price led the way with a 3-for-5 effort, while Winiecki and Tyler Saladino each had two hits.

Spencer Roberts (0-2) suffered the game two loss for ORU, allowing three runs in 3.1 innings of work.
