The Baylor baseball team opened up conference play with a sweep of the West Virginia Mountaineers, giving them a 3-0 record in the Big 12 and placing them at second in the standings behind Oklahoma.
The Bears mounted two huge come-from-behind wins as well as their fourth shutout of the season. Head coach Steve Rodriguez said that getting the sweep to start off conference play was very important.
“Every win in conference is important. It doesn’t matter if it’s a sweep, if it’s one win, if it’s two wins. I mean, getting a sweep obviously, the more wins you can get the better it’s going to be for you,” Rodriguez said.
