Baylor baseball begins Big 12 Tournament play on Wednesday morning at the Big 12 Tournament in Oklahoma City. The tournament will be played again at Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark in downtown OKC, the home of the Los Angeles Dodgers' AAA affiliate. The fifth seeded Bears open with a 9:00 AM first pitch (yes, you read that correctly) against fourth seed West Virginia.
The Big 12 Tournament is a double elimination format, with eight teams split up into two different pools. Along with West Virginia, Baylor's pool will also include conference champion Texas Tech and eighth seed Oklahoma State. The winner of each pool will play in the championship game on Sunday afternoon with an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament up for grabs.
