Baylor softball used a five-run fifth inning and then held off a late Longhorn rally in knocking off Texas 7-5 Saturday night. The Lady Bears clinched the series win and the three seed in next week’s Big 12 Conference Tournament.

Baylor entered without a home run at home this season, but hit three against the Longhorns. Sophomore third baseman Goose McGlaun hit two while senior outfielder Jessie Scroggins hit her second home of the season.

McGlaun hit her 13th home run of the season to lead off the second inning.
