Baylor baseball junior third baseman Hunter Teplanszky tripped at first base when taking his secondary lead in the bottom of the first inning, but it was intentional. As Teplanszky face-planted, Sam Houston senior left-handed pitcher Gavi Coldiron disengaged with the rubber in confusion.
Coldiron’s teammates barked at him that Bears junior center fielder Ty Johnson was on his way home. Amidst the madness, Johnson swiped home and Teplanszky cruised into second base, giving Baylor an early one run lead en route to a blowout 9-3 win over the Bearkats on Tuesday night at Baylor Ballpark.
