Gut-Check Time: Baylor Baseball Clings to Postseason Hopes After Salvaging TCU Series…
Baylor Baseball kept its postseason hopes alive after clawing out a crucial win to avoid a sweep against TCU. Facing mounting pressure and a losing streak that had postseason dreams slipping away, the Bears showed resilience in Sunday’s finale, grinding out a hard-fought 6-4 victory. The win not only snapped a series skid but also provided a spark of momentum with only a handful of Big 12 games left.
Offensive execution and timely pitching were the difference-makers as Baylor staved off another late-inning rally. Head coach Mitch Thompson praised the team’s toughness, calling it a “gut-check moment” that will define their season’s closing stretch.
Still hovering near the bottom of the conference standings, Baylor must string together wins down the stretch and make noise in the Big 12 Tournament to earn a postseason berth. Every game now carries postseason implications, and the margin for error is razor-thin. The Bears’ path isn’t easy, but Sunday’s win proved they’re not done fighting.
With the season winding down, it’s all hands on deck. If Baylor wants to dance in May, this weekend’s grit must become the standard.
