The Baylor Bears (3-5) will head to Houston this weekend for the Astros in Action Classic to play the California Golden Bears, Houston Cougars and the Rice Owls at Minute Maid Park.
The Bears will face the 4-4 Golden Bears at noon Friday. Then on Saturday, the Bears will take on the University of Houston. The Rice Owls are Baylor’s third and final opponent of the weekend. Rice and Baylor will meet on the diamond on Sunday.
Senior right fielder Nathan Orf leads the Bears in batting this season with a .516 average and has 5 RBIs.
Senior third basemen Cal Towey leads the Bears offense with 8 RBIs.
Sophomore right-handed pitcher Austin Stone has a 0.00 ERA with six innings pitched in three appearances this year, though his shoulder rehabilitation has limited his inning total.
With a 3-5 record and three games to play this weekend, the Bears have a chance to turn their losing record into a winning record this weekend in Houston.
