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.

After coming off a big week, there was some worry that the Baylor Lady Bears softball team might let up on the University of Texas at Arlington on Tuesday night.

The February calendar ended in the first loss of the season for the Lady Bears, but as it turned to March, the team wasted no time getting back into the win column. In fact, they did it convincingly, beating Prairie View A&M 6-1 in the first of a double header on Tuesday afternoon.

Even though the Lady Bears softball team seemed to lack focus in the second game of their doubleheader against Prairie View A&M on Tuesday, Baylor run-ruled the Lady Panthers 8-0 in the fifth inning.

After 14 straight wins by the Baylor Lady Bears, the streak was snapped in a pitchers’ dual Sunday against the University of Houston Cougars, falling 1-0.

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.
