No. 22 Baylor softball opened the Mary Nutter Classic with a 3-2 win over No. 25 Oregon on Thursday night in Palm Springs, Calif.
The Bears (4-3) secured their third ranked win of the season, and they’ll turn around and face Notre Dame right away as part of a doubleheader.
Sophomore right-handed pitcher RyLee Crandall (3-0) spun a complete-game five-hitter in which she only allowed two runs, one of them earned. Crandall hurled a season-high 111 pitches, recorded five strikeouts and walked one batter.
Senior outfielder McKenzie Wilson (2-for-4, one run) and junior utility Shannon Vivoda (2-for-3, one RBI) led the Bears in the box, while senior catcher Sydney Collazos recorded a two-out, two-RBI single to right field in the fifth inning.
