Game to Forget
Jones
Clark
Martinez
Pitching — Sophomore Alex Jones has been spending time in the outfield a lot recently, but she had a rare opportunity to start on Saturday. It was going well until the second inning when the Bears scored six runs, forcing the change to senior Allie Clark. Jones only gave up one earned run, however. On Sunday, Kristin Martinez started, but lasted only two-thirds of the first inning. She didn't give up an earned run, but Baylor had already scored three. The Jayhawks resorted to Clark again.
Game to Remember
In Saturday's game, Hull went 3-for-4, including a two-run home run, her seventh of the season. The team scored three runs throughout the weekend and she sparked them. She had no hits in two at-bats on Sunday, but the team had two as a whole.

Quote of the Weekend
"Brutal isn't a good word because we like playing that competition because it makes us better. I think with that competition comes failures and with that competition comes those little things that we need to focus on and everything is just so much harder."
