Mavs Fall to Bears in Extras

ARLINGTON, Texas – In an extra-inning battle, the UT Arlington softball team fell short 2-1 to Baylor Tuesday night at Allan Saxe Field.

The Mavs battled with the Bears throughout the night but ultimately fell in Baylor's favor. This marked the second time the programs have faced each other this season as the first meeting was back at UTA's home opener in February where the Mavericks defeated the Bears in a 12-3 run-rule victory.

UTA moves onto an overall record of 20-18 after heading into tonight's game on a four-game winning streak.

INSIDE THE BOX SCORE: vs. Baylor (L, 2-1) 9 INNINGS
The Mavericks produced six hits Tuesday night against Baylor's Dariana Orme. Graduate student Morgan Rios paced the Mavs' offense going 2-4 at the plate with UTA's lone RBI to her name.

Sophie Wideman (1-4), Meagan Smith (1-4), Amber Langston (1-4) and Kaylee Cavazos (1-3) all came away with one hit apiece.

Lefty Morgan Max got her third start on the mound this season for the Mavericks as she went on to throw 2.1 innings facing 11 Bears. The freshman tabbed three strike outs and allowed one run off two hits.

Fellow freshman Jessica Adams came in for Max in the third inning where she pitched the remainder of the game. The 2-1 loss gave Adams her 12th loss of the season as she now sits on a record of 12-12.
