Texas Longhorns Blank Baylor Bears, Advance To Championship Game

Throughout their three games of the Big XII Tournament, the Texas Longhorns have used three different pitchers. Each starting pitcher has collected a complete game win thus far. Freshman Connor Mayes became the most recent of the trio with a complete game shutout on Saturday. The effort helped Longhorns to a 4-0 victory pushing the folks from Austin into the championship game on Sunday.

There's no doubt the Baylor Bears received chances though. During the sixth inning, Mayes loaded the bases on a four-pitch walk. On any other weekend, the freshman may have been pulled. However, the next toss secured a foul out to third keeping the Bears off the board.
