Bears Topple Cougars, 13-11, as Hanzal Shines
The Baylor Bears defeated the Houston Cougars by the score of 13-11, with the biggest share of the credit going to catcher Gordie Hanzal. Hanzal was 3-4 with a home run, 2 singles, and 2 walks, while scoring 3 and driving in 3 for the Bears on the day. The Baylor winning streak has reached 3 games.

The Cougars had been locked in a 11-11 tie with the Bears going into the bottom of the eighth inning. That changed quickly when the 18-year old second baseman Steve Barsi came to the plate. Barsi hit a 2-run double on a first pitch fastball from Houston hurler Mike Brower. It was Barsi's 6th double of the year.

"If we play well, we'll win our share of games," said Barsi. "The only team that can beat us is us."
