When senior first baseman Cole Posey roped a triple to left-center field in the bottom of the eighth inning, fans at Baylor Ballpark were on the edge of their seats in anticipation for his next at-bat.
Posey had singled and scored in the first inning before muscling a solo home run over the right-center field fence in the third inning, which put the veteran in striking range to record the first cycle by a Baylor baseball player since 2004.
But Posey closed out his unblemished day at the plate with another single — which kept him a double short of the cycle — and the Bears knocked off UT Arlington 5-3 on Tuesday night in Waco.
