With only three hits on the evening, the No. 17 Baylor Lady Bears softball team lost on the road to No. 15 Texas A&M 6-1 at the Aggie Softball Complex in College Station.

From the eyes of a freshman, looking out into a field of juniors and seniors fresh off a World Series appearance can be rather intimidating; however, to look out and see Clare Hosack behind the plate can add some confidence and desire.

After advancing to the Women’s College World Series semi finals and finishing fourth in the nation, No. 7 Baylor softball is back in action, “fueled by their past and driven by the future they seek.”

The No. 15 Lady Bears improved on their Big 12 record, now 7-3, as they swept the Kansas Jayhawks in a two-game series in Lawrence, Kan., last weekend.

The Baylor softball team defeated the Missouri Tigers 3-2 with a walk-off sac-fly to right center on Saturday; however, it could not maintain this momentum as it went into Sunday’s game, losing 6-0.

Last weekend the battle between the No. 17 Baylor and No. 21 Texas A&M softball teams proved how tough conference play will be in 2011 as they split the series, both with walk-off home runs. Baylor took the first game Saturday, 2-1, in 11 innings and Texas A&M took the second, 6-5.

After a week off from play, the Baylor softball team is back in action tonight as it hosts a double header against Florida International University. The Lady Bears then open conference play against No. 21 Texas A&M on Saturday.

The No. 15 Baylor Lady Bears went 1-1 against the University of North Texas Wednesday night, dropping the last game of the double header in nine innings.

In the nightcap of a double-header on Friday night, the Lady Bears showed they could win games in more than just one way. In most of their games this year, the Lady Bears won with dominant pitching and hitting. While the pitching still remained masterful in this one, the Lady Bears found a way to score even when not hitting the ball all over the field like they have been accustomed to this season.
