Men’s golf, which is ranked 18th, finished fifth Tuesday at the Lone Star Invitational in San Antonio, and senior Joakim Mikkelsen finished second.

The Lady Bears softball team took on New Mexico on Saturday at 11:30 a.m. at Getterman Stadium. The Lady Bears won 3-1, advancing their record to 8-0 for this season. Although this particular game wasn’t their strongest, Head Coach Glenn Moore believes the team is set for even more success.

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.

The Lady Bears’ (5-0) next victory will be not just No. 6 on the young season, but also head coach Glenn Moore’s 400th win at Baylor.

Both teams take the field in Waco this weekend, with baseball opening its season against Oral Roberts at 4 p.m. and softball welcoming New Mexico to Getterman Stadium for a three game series. The Lady Bears battle the Lobos in a doubleheader starting at 4 p.m. Friday and play once more at noon Saturday. Baseball, ranked No. 16 in Baseball America’s preseason poll, plays at 2 p.m. Saturday and 1 p.m. Sunday.
