🔼 We Goin’ To The Chip. What a showing for the Bears!

The Baylor men’s golf team pulled off a shocking upset and earned a spot in the championship match of Big 12 Match Play for the fourth time in the past seven years.

After a 3.5-1.5 Tuesday morning win over TCU to make it to the semifinals, the Bears battled its way through a tight match with #2 Arizona State, as freshman Vincent Stjernfeldt won four of his final five holes to flip his match and seal it for the Bears, 3-2.

Zach Heffernan continued his match-play dominance with a pair of wins on Tuesday, helping the Bears reach the championship match for a fourth time and trying for a third match-play title. BYU won the other semifinal over Kansas 3-1-1 to earn the right to play Baylor for the crown on Wednesday.

🔼 Time To Battle. Baylor Athletics Hall of Famer Max Muncy and his Dodgers teammates find themselves with their backs against the wall entering tonight.

Muncy has two hits, including a HR, in the first two games of the National League Division Series against the rival Padres.

On Tuesday night, the Padres won a 6-5 game in San Diego and now lead the best-of-five series, 2-1, as the Dodgers need to stave off elimination in tonight’s game to bring the series back to Los Angeles. First pitch for tonight’s Game Four is set for 8:08 pm.
