LUBBOCK, Texas - Alex Colyer doubled twice and scored a pair of runs and Nicole Wesley added a double and a single and picked up a pair of RBIs as Baylor (24-10) beat Texas Tech (10-26), 6-1, in softball action at Rocky Johnson Field. Whitney Canion went the distance on consecutive days for the Lady Bears and earned her 14th win of the year, giving up only a run and six hits, while striking out nine Red Raiders.
Megan Shupp drilled a pair of doubles for Tech and Elizabeth Eimen, Alex Watkins, Emily Bledsoe and Ashley Hamada collected the hits against Canion, but the Red Raiders could only manage a lone run in the final frame. Ashly Jacobs (7-13) pitched six innings and gave up five runs, four earned, as the junior scattered 10 hit and issued two walks. Watkins came on in relief in the seventh and allowed a run on two hits, but struck out two Lady Bears.
Texas Tech hits the road again this week, traveling to Austin to face Texas on Thursday, then on to Ames for a pair of weekend games with Iowa State and then to San Antonio for a single game with UTSA. The Red Raiders next home event will be Saturday, April 4 when the Kansas Jayhawks come to town. All games will be broadcast via GameTracker and the various other electronic devices which now plague our existence.
