HOUSTON — It was not surprising to see one team leave with a perfect record after the three-day Shriners College Classic at Minute Maid Park.
The surprising part is that Baylor finished 3-0, and even more surprising that No. 5 Arkansas went 0-3.
Baylor jumped out to a 3-0 lead, and the Bears made key pitches when they had to in a 3-2 victory against the Razorbacks on Sunday. The Bears stranded eight Arkansas base runners — including five in scoring position — to claim the event’s championship.
Baylor starter Hayden Kettler (2-1) was solid over 5 innings, allowing 4 hits with 5 strikeouts to earn the victory.
