After a last second overtime loss to No. 22 Oklahoma State on Wednesday night, the Baylor Bears have now lost three consecutive games. This marks the longest losing streak of the season.
The Bears have an opportunity to get back on track against Texas Tech at 3 p.m. Saturday in the Ferrell Center.
The No. 22 Baylor Softball team began its season with the 12th annual Getterman Classic on Thursday with a 5-0 win over Illinois State. Under head coach Glenn Moore, Baylor is now 11-2 in opening games and 11-0 when opening its season at home.
Junior left-handed pitcher Whitney Canion earned the win. This was her first game back from a knee injury suffered last season.
Baylor’s recruiting class has drawn some national attention. ESPN ranked Baylor’s recruiting class at No. 28 in the country, just behind Oklahoma State and Oregon. There are only three Big 12 schools ahead of Baylor on the list: No. 15 Texas, No. 16 Oklahoma, and No. 27 Oklahoma State.
The Bears’ most highly touted recruit this year is wide receiver Robbie Rhodes. As a senior at Southwest High School in Fort Worth, Rhodes racked up 20 touchdowns, including 15 through the air. During his three years on varsity, Rhodes tallied 2,500 receiving yards and 751 rushing yards.
