No. 19 Baylor mercy-rules ACU to open 2025 campaign
COLLEGE STATION, Texas (FOX 44) — The Bears are 1-0 to start the 2025 softball season with a 10-2 run-rule win in five innings over Abilene Christian to open the Aggie Classic.
Baylor got off to a fast start in the bottom of the first to open with a 2-0 lead thanks to an RBI-single from Karynton Dawson.
Houston transfer Turiyah Coleman added her first RBI in the Green and Gold in the second to put the Bears up 3-0. Coleman finished the day 1-1 with 2 RBI's.
ACU plated two in the top of the third before Baylor turned up the intensity in the next few innings, scoring seven-unanswered runs to trigger the mercy-rule after Lexie Warncke closed the final three innings out in the circle to get the win.
Dariana Orme notched her first start since the 2023 season, pitching two scoreless innings and only allowing one hit with one strikeout.
Baylor is back in action tomorrow at Davis Diamond on Friday, February 7th at 4:30 p.m. when the Bears face Purdue before a Top-20 showdown against No. 7 Texas A&M at 7:00 p.m.
