Baylor baseball takes on conference rival No. 20 Oklahoma State in a three-game series at Baylor Ballpark during the Bears’ special weekend honoring the armed forces with camouflage-themed uniforms.

The No. 5 Baylor equestrian team suffered two losses during the weekend, dropping its record to 8-5. The Bears fell 11-9 to No. 7 Kansas State University and 11-7 to No. 4 Oklahoma State University. Both meets were on the road for the Bears.

“We went into these meets knowing they were an uphill battle, but I am still pleased with our performance,” head coach Ellen White said.

We knew that the Big 12 had a chance to be improved, but no one thought it would be this good. Out of the 32 college basketball conferences in Division I, the Big 12 has the number one conference RPI thanks to impressive wins in nonconference play against the likes of Duke, Kentucky, Colorado and Michigan among others.

Coming off a big road victory against Oklahoma State, Baylor jumps back into conference play against Texas Tech at 7 p.m. today at the Ferrell Center.

Although Tech’s record (6-13, 0-8) may indicate it is an inferior team to Baylor (16-3, 6-1), the Lady Raiders are a team with grit and determination.

In an overtime thriller, two of the Big 12’s top teams, and two of the league’s best point guards faced off in another road test for the No. 12 Lady Bears.

Baylor (8-5-3, 1-4-1) will play its last regular season home game against Oklahoma State (6-3-6, 1-1-3) at 7 p.m., today at Betty Lou Mays Field.

It was a pitching duel as the No. 16 Baylor Lady Bears defeated the Oklahoma State Cowgirls 2-0 on Friday. The Lady Bears needed a win to get their conference record over .500.

Freshman right-handed pitcher Heather Stearns was on the mound and almost pitched a perfect game. Stearns only allowed one hit, which came at the top of the sixth inning. She struck out 11 batters on the day.
