ABILENE, Texas – After missing 10 games with an injury, junior OF Hunter Simmons returned to the Baylor lineup Tuesday night and provided a spark, though the Bears dropped a 9-8 contest to Abilene Christian at Crutcher Scott Field in Abilene.
Simmons went 3-for-5 at the plate and drove in two runs, including a solo home run. Freshman INF Kolby Branch also left the yard, tying him for the team lead with five long balls now in 2023.
BU (15-30) trailed 8-5 midway through the ballgame and got back within a run late, but stranded the tying run on third base as the Wildcats (27-16) came out on top.
