The Baylor baseball team opened the 2019 season with a 12-0 shutout of the Holy Cross Crusaders Friday night at Baylor Ballpark.
Junior right-handed pitcher Hayden Kettler was named player of the game after pitching seven scoreless innings and striking out eight batters. Kettler made the Friday night start in place of junior left-hander Cody Bradford who will pitch in game two of the doubleheader on Saturday. Kettler said he was excited to have the start.
“It’s everybody’s dream to go out there and pitch on opening day, you never know if you’ll ever be able to do it again,” Kettler said.
