Arlington, Texas – Baylor Baseball (7-2) went to the state of Oregon with the eight-age Oregon State and fell on Friday evening in the Globe Life Field on the opening day of the Baseball series of Amegy Bank College in a Home Run Running (6-2).

“You make a mistake, you can hurt it and punish yourself”, Baylor coach Mitch Thompson said. “I thought we played well, I thought we played well, I thought we started very well on the plate. These were her three best people, two best boys from the Bullpen. And we took some pretty good swings on you. I thought it was a good college baseball game today.”

However, it was very clear that playing was not what the bears wanted to do.

“I am disappointed that we didn't get the victory. That is what we came here,” said Thompson. “We talked about going to the ninth inning. How will we play it? But it is what it is. (Saturday) We will appear again and we will play a good team in Ohio State. We have to come out and be ready to go.”

In his first two outings, Baylor junior left -handed Ethan Calder (2-1) had a difficult first inning. Three of the first four batteries reached the basis, whereby the cleaning racket Gavin Turley delivered a two-day single that focused on a 1-2 field, which opened an early 2-0 lead for the state of Oregon.

But then Calder got involved and retired in a row and retired in a row and 15 of the last 17 before he went out with one in the sixth.

“Ethan is our Friday type for a certain reason,” Senior Outfielder is Wesley Jordan said. “He will go out there, he will compete, he will give us outs. And we are confident when he is on the hill.”

Jordan delivered the offensive highlight of the bears in the fourth when he grumbled a 1-1 delivery from Osu Starter Nelson Keljo and took it into the second deck with a 445-foot homerun, which played the game with 2: 2 band.

“We knew that (Keljo) was a strong guy,” said Jordan, who hit his second Homerun of the season, “and I just wanted to try to get my best swing and not miss it.”

He didn't miss that. Turley, the left one, turned and took about two steps before sailing the ball into the second deck.

“He has all of this,” said Thompson. “(Turley) had to get a few large sources to get it. These two homes that were hit were our husband and her husband pretty well touched.”

The Beavers' Jacob Krig took the lead in the lower half of the fourth and blew up a solo shot from Calder about the same place.

After a bottom the control of the floor to the left field of Tyce Peterson, Calder's night ended with an out in the sixth, war came through the left side again with a two-out RBI single, which made it 4-2.

Third Baseman newcomer Pearson RiebockWho came in as a prise hitter in the fifth, crushed a first circular delivery of the OSU deliever Eric Segura (2-0), which drifted out in the seventh year. But Rightfield Easton Talpede sprinted into the right middle and just right and jumped over the outer field wall to Robock from his first college home to Rob.

“Yes, I wanted it for him,” said Thompson about Riebock, “but it is what it is. It's a big boy game, and you will stay there and show tomorrow.”

Jordan said: “You are amazed for a second, but then you have to rinse it, and it's the next blow. Because every type, 1 to 9, can leave the farm. If you know you have that, you can't live on it for too long.”

After taking it, the beavers also gave the bears one. Tyriq Kemp With two outs reached when the third Baseman Trent Carraway had a high -pop fly near the Krughügel Jack Little With an RBI single to the right that lowered the deficit to 4-3.

But Little was the last Baylor -Schlagmann who reached the base, and Segura and Matthew Morrell combined to withdraw the last seven batteries in a row.

“I thought our boys fought hard,” said Thompson. “They run real things up there on you and beating is not easy if you faces such people. So I thought that our approach was good. We went some (four), we didn't look very often (seven). They just didn't want to crack a lot for us.”

The bears will compete against the state of Ohio on Saturday at 2 p.m. and then complete the weekend with a matchup against 25TH-Ranked Auburn (9-1) on Sunday at 3 p.m. In the other game on Friday, the Tigers in Seven Innings ran the Buckeyes 13: 0.
