Houston: Baylor back in it

By Jonathan Yardley - June 03, 2007

Baylor has reversed its course with two runs in the fourth and one in the fifth against Chance Corgan to take a 4-3 lead as we head to the sixth inning. The Bears finally found some clutch hitting and we now have what's shaping up to be a heck of a game.

It appeared to be business as usual in the fourth, when Matt Czimskey popped up weakly on a 3-1 pitch for the second time in the game with a man on. But Dustin Dickerson and Matt Sodolak followed with back-to-back RBI doubles to make it 3-2. In the fifth, a one-out walk to Ben Booker set the stage for a bloop double from Raynor Campbell on a hit-and-run. For once, Jim Schlossnagle didn't read Steve Smith's mind. After an RBI groundout tied the game, Beamer Weems chopped a single up the middle to give Baylor its first lead of the game.

Elsewhere, the press box has been paying close attention to the Texas-Wake Forest game in which Augie Garrido used Joseph Krebs and Randy Boone extensively for the third day in a row. Austin Wood, who closed today's game in the 12th, is the best guess up here to start the nightcap for UT. Comic relief has come in the form of fans trying to peer through the press box window to see the out of town scoreboard. One fan has been training his binoculars on the scoreboard from about three rows away.
