SB Walks Off with 2-1 Victory over Houston
3/21/2021 3:55:00 PM | Softball
THE RUNDOWN
WACO, Texas – Facing a full count with two outs and runners on second and third in a tie ball game in the bottom of the seventh inning, Alyssa Avalos dropped a single into left field to score Goose McGlaun from third and walk things off as Baylor topped Houston, 2-1.
The Lady Bears jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the first inning as Lou Gilbert got things started with a bunt single. The sophomore outfielder then advanced to second off a sacrifice bunt by Maddison Kettler before she came home when McGlaun launched a double to the warning track in right center field.
Houston nearly tied things up in the third inning as the Cougars had a runner on third with two outs. A wild pitch had the runner sprinting home, but BU catcher Sydney Collazos fielded the ball off the wall and dove to beat the runner to the plate and tag her out to end the frame.
The Cougars evened the score at 1-1 in the top of the seventh, but the Lady Bears were unphased heading to the bottom half of the frame. Maddison Kettler led things off with a single before McGlaun followed with a fielder's choice to third. Aliyah Binford kept things going with a single to right field before Avalos called game with her walk-off single.
Kettler and Binford each finished with two hits on the day. In the circle, Sidney Holman-Mansell kept the Houston hitters off-balance with seven strikeouts through 6.1 innings of work.
HIGHLIGHTS
2 – Number of walkoff hits on the year for Baylor. Goose McGlaun delivered a solo home run against Northern Illinois on March 12 before Alyssa Avalos's RBI single against the Cougars.
TOP QUOTES
Baylor associate head coach Britni Newman on the game…
"It's good to get a win against a tough Houston team. Sidney (Holman-Mansell) pitched well and Alyssa (Avalos) was clutch. Today was a team-effort win."
UP NEXT
The Lady Bears head back out on the road as they go to Sam Houston State on Tuesday before opening up Big 12 play over the weekend at Texas Tech.
