After Baylor senior Nick Lewis only made it through one inning in Wednesday’s 11-1 loss to West Virginia, junior Montana Parsons (5-3) needed to give the Bears a fighting chance against Texas Tech on Thursday morning.
Parsons did just that. The Big 12 Co-Newcomer of the Year went six strong innings, allowing three runs on eight hits, striking out five while walking one.
Unfortunately for Parsons and Baylor, it wasn’t enough as the bats failed to come up with any clutch hits and Texas Tech ousted Baylor from the Philips 66 Big 12 Conference Tournament with a 4-1 victory.
