Baylor baseball dropped a home game to Sam Houston State Tuesday night at Baylor Ballpark.
The Bears (17-20) responded every time the Bearkats (23-16) scored throughout the game, but failed to respond in the bottom of the ninth when it mattered most.
“It was a lack of defense and timely errors,” Bears head coach Steve Rodriguez said, “but I think offensively we did a pretty decent job.”
Senior Austin Stone made just his second start of the season and his inexperience showed early. After a ground out and a strikeout, Stone needed just one more out to finish the first inning, but walked three batters and allowed a single as the Bearkats took a 1-0 lead.
