🔼 Nine Is Fine. It was truly a team effort on Tuesday night at Baylor Ballpark.

A dominating night on the mound and timely offense led the Bears to a 9-1 victory over Houston Christian for a third straight victory for BU.

On the mound, it was an all-around effort to secure the win with six arms combining to allow just one run without walking a batter and striking out 11. Redshirt senior right-hander Cole Stasio led the way out of the bullpen after redshirt sophomore southpaw Caleb Jameson's solid start, tying a career best with four punchouts. Junior righty Grayson Murry also shined in relief, fanning a career-high three batters in a scoreless frames.

Offensively, the Bears were firing on all cylinders, sparked by long balls from middle infielders redshirt sophomore Travis Sanders and senior Tyriq Kemp. The duo of Sanders and Kemp has now homered a combined six times in BU's last three games, as both have recently had multi-home run performances.
 
Three BU hitters collected multi-hit performances, including Sanders, senior catcher Cortlan Castle and redshirt designated hitter Hunter Simmons, who went 4-for-4 to match his career best.
