Making a push for the postseason, Baylor baseball handled Sam Houston with a 15-4 victory Tuesday night at Don Sanders Stadium in Huntsville. Tying a season-high 14 strikeouts on the mound and seeing four players tally multi-hit games, head coach Mitch Thompson’s Bears (28-16, 9-12 Big 12) moved to 9-1 in midweek contests.

Rolling into Sunday afternoon with their first Big 12 series win under their belt, Baylor baseball stumbled, allowing 10 runs in the first inning and falling 11-6 in the series finale against No. 23 Arizona at Hi Corbett Field in Tucson, Ariz.

When junior outfielder Caleb Bergman stepped to the plate in the bottom of the eighth inning as a pinch hitter, the last thing on his mind was leaving the yard. But as fate would have it, on a full count pitch Bergman put a charge into a 376-foot solo home run — his first longball in a real game in four years.
