Sports news from The Baylor Lariat.

Freshman forward Quincy Miller has decided to enter the NBA Draft and forgo his final three years of eligibility. Miller originally decided to stay but announced Tuesday that he has changed his mind.

Not long after the third pitch of the game left junior pitcher Courtney Repka’s hand, it was sent over the right field wall as No. 25 Baylor softball fell Tuesday in College Station to the No. 19 Aggies 10-2.

“Others receiving votes.” That’s where the Baylor baseball team was in the rankings to begin the season. A record of 35-7, including 24 straight wins, has changed the minds of voters around the country.

A record crowd of 5,911 came out to Baylor Ballpark to watch the No. 6 Bears take on the No. 2 Texas A&M Aggies. Baylor won their 23rd game in a row in a 1-0 pitchers duel over the Aggies. Senior right-handed pitcher Trent Blank earned the win, reaching 9-0 on the year. The Bears is now 34-7 on the year, and 17-0 in Big 12 play.

There was no shortage of offense for the No. 6 Baylor baseball team as it tied its all-time win streak total of 20 games by beating the Texas A&M University – Corpus Christi Islanders Tuesday 15-2. The game was ended after the top of the seventh due to run rule.

It was the worst of times, it was the worst of times. But that was then. Students and fans can celebrated the best of times with junior quarterback Robert Griffin III’s Heisman victory and the overall success of Baylor football. Alumni, moreover, can look back at how Baylor football performed during their years and be even more thankful.

The majority of Baylor’s track and field athletes were able to take Easter weekend off to relax and prepare for their next meet, a rejuvenation that should be to their advantage as they prepare to battle the relentless winds that seem to dictate meets in Lubbock.
