The baseball team welcomed the Baylor University Bears to Darryl and Lori Schroeder Park last weekend hoping to return to their winning ways.

The team entered the weekend on a four game losing streak in which they could not seem to get their offense going. On the losing streak, the Cougars were outscored by a combined 28-8.

The first game of the series did not go well. Despite a great pitching performance by junior Andrew Lantrip, the team was shutout in the first eight innings of the game.

When catcher Connor Wong hit a home run in the bottom of the ninth inning to keep his team’s hopes alive, he ended a streak of over 12 scoreless innings for the Cougars.
