Bears Fall to No. 19 Texas A&M 11-1
April 19, 2008
Darby Brown's one-out solo homer to right in the second broke a scoreless tie, but it was a six-run third that did in the Bears. Kyle Colligan led off the inning with a home run to left. After Blake Stouffer struck out looking, Dane Carter walked, and Jose Duran followed with a two-run homer to right-center. Texas A&M capped the inning with a Brian Ruggiano RBI single, a Ben Feltner RBI triple and a Kevin Gonzalez RBI single.
Baylor had a chance to immediately answer in the bottom of the inning. Beamer Weems and Jon Ringenberg had back-to-back singles to start the frame, and Gregg Glime advanced both with a sacrifice bunt. Shaver Hansen was then hit by a pitch to load the bases. However, Raynor Campbell grounded into an inning-ending double play. Ruggiano led off the fifth with a homer to left-center. A three-run sixth capped the Aggies' scoring on the night. Duran was hit by a pitch to open the inning, and Luke Anders followed with a two-run round-tripper to right-center. The Bears cracked the scoreboard in the seventh when Adam Hornung hit the first pitch of the inning over the wall in left-center; it was his fourth homer of the season and extended his hitting streak at Baylor Ballpark to 15 games. Texas A&M starter Barret Loux (3-1) picked up the win; he held Baylor scoreless on a pair of hits and two walks with five strikeouts over 5.0 innings. Hank Robertson surrendered Hornung's home run, two singles and a walk with four strikeouts over the final 4.0 innings for his first career save. Baylor starter Shawn Tolleson (4-2) took the loss; he allowed six runs on six hits and two walks with two strikeouts over 2.2 innings. The series concludes Sunday at 2 p.m. CDT. Baylor sends right-hander Willie Kempf (5-1, 3.71 ERA) to the mound. Texas A&M counters with right-hander Clayton Ehlert (5-2, 3.00 ERA). NOTES: |
