🎙 SIC ’EM POD: BAYLEY HUMPHREY

On this week’s episode we’re joined by Baylor Acrobatics & Tumbling’s Bayley Humphrey.

The senior out of Arizona is one of the premier athletes in her sport, and is enjoying another excellent season with the Bears.

Now, she’s looking forward to capturing another National Championship, and a unique life after college.

📈 STOCK UP

🔺 Connect Four. Watch out for those Bears.

It’s getting dangerous for opponents as the Baylor baseball boys are rollin’ right now and on Tuesday night, the Bears picked up a fourth straight win and ninth in the past 10 games with a hard-fought 3-1 win at UTSA.

Six pitchers combined to lead the Green & Gold to victory with a stellar performance on the mound.

Senior right-handed starter Jared Matheson set the tone with 2.2 strong frames, striking out three and allowing just one hit. Freshman lefty RJ Ruais and redshirt freshman righty Tanner Duke combined to throw the next 2.1 innings scoreless before sophomore southpaw Ethan Calder came on to fan four in 1.2 frames. Redshirt junior righty Gabe Craig picked up three outs despite allowing a run on two hits, and senior left-hander Kobe Andrade finished it off with 1.1 clean innings to earn his second save of the season.

🔺 Tourney Time. Time to ratchet it up. It’s Tourney Time.

The Baylor women’s tennis team hits the courts in the opening round of the Big 12 Championships at 12 pm today as the sixth-seeded Bears are set to take on 11th-seeded West Virginia.

Baylor posted a 4-0 win over then No. 60-ranked West Virginia on March 3 in Morgantown. Miska Kadleckova, Liubox Kotenko and Zuzanna Kubacha each earned efficient singles wins, while Kadleckova/Danielle Tuhten and Isabella Harvison/Kostenko posted doubles wins.

🔺 Chart Climbers. With less than a month until the Big 12 Championships, the Baylor track & field squads are peaking at the right time.

In the latest USTFCCCA national rankings, BOTH squads sat in the top-25 with the men at #20 and women at #25.

It marks the first time this spring that both teams earned top-25 rankings in the same poll.

🎉 CELEBRATE GOOD TIMES

Long ago, Kool & The Gang taught us to Celebrate Good Times and on Nov. 2nd, Baylor will do exactly that.

A pair of 11-2 and Big 12 Conference Championship teams will be celebrated during the upcoming 2024 Baylor Football season, as the Bears plan to recognize student-athletes from the 2013 and 2014 teams. 

On Nov. 2 when Baylor plays TCU at McLane Stadium, the program will commemorate the 2013 and 2014 Big 12 Conference Championship teams.
