Very few things top Opening Day for Baylor baseball head coach Mitch Thompson. With a fresh slate, Thompson and the Bears are hungry for the opportunity to see nine months of hard work and long nights pay off.
Baylor (5-11, 0-3 Big 12) was firing on all cylinders as it tallied a season-high in runs and hits with 17 apiece. For the second time this year, all nine starters notched at least one hit and five Bears recorded multi-hit games. The bats were led by senior catcher Harrison Caley, who swatted a career-high in hits, going 4-for-4 — including two home runs. Caley became the first Baylor batter since 2019 to chalk up seven RBIs.
