"It was an opportunity to see some guys taking their first at bats in as game-like a situation as you can make it in the fall, and that was really good," Baylor head coach Steve Smith said. "We got to see a lot of pitchers, and most of them did fine. And we played defense well."
Six Baylor pitchers worked in the 12-inning game. Starter Kendal Volz scattered two hits and a walk with one strikeout over 2.0 innings. Craig Fritsch (3.0 innings), Mace Thurman (2.0 innings), Tom Filip (1.1 innings), Drew Jeffcoat (1.2 innings) and Erik Forestiere (2.0 innings) also saw action on the mound. Filip was saddled with the loss, allowing two runs on two hits and a hit batsman.
Beamer Weems provided the game's first run, scoring Paul Miles on a sacrifice fly in the top of the third.
Miller finished the day 2-for-5 with two RBI. Weems was 3-for-4 with two sacrifices and an RBI, and Shaver Hansen was 3-for-5. Ben Booker added two hits.
