As a former member of the Baylor Lariat staff and a proud graduate of Baylor University, I am writing this letter to all members of the Baylor family.

No. 16 Baylor dropped its first midweek game of 2011 to No. 4 TCU Tuesday, picking up just two hits in the 2-0 loss where the newly enforced bats made an impact on hitters from both squads.
