Baylor softball finished the Baylor Invitational on Sunday with a 5-4 win against Illinois. The victory over the Illini pushed its record for the weekend to 5-0.
Redshirt junior righty Sydney Holman-Mansell earned the start for the Lady Bears and got through three innings of four-run pitching before being relieved. Holman-Mansell gave up six hits and four earned runs in her time on the mound while striking out four batters.
After Illinois plated their first run of the day in the top of the first, Baylor redshirt junior right fielder Madison Kettler tripled down the right field line to set up the first scoring opportunity for the Green and Gold.
