Box Score WACO, Texas – Junior Colby Wyatt pitched 5 2/3 innings of quality relief, but the baseball team couldn't dig itself out of an early hole on Saturday in a 10-3 loss at 16th-ranked Baylor.
 
Baylor (6-0) struck for five runs in the second inning to expand its lead to 6-1 before Wyatt came on and ended the threat. The Bears used three singles and took advantage of a wild pitch to tack on two more runs in the third.
 
Cornell (0-2) was led offensive by sophomore Ramon Garza, who doubled and scored the team's first run of the season in the second inning. After he led off the fourth with a base hit up the middle, the Big Red drew three walks and a hit-by-pitch later in the frame to plate a couple runs and chase Baylor starter Tyler Thomas. Reliver Paul Dickens retired the first batter he saw, and the Big Red would strand the bases loaded with the deficit standing at 8-3.
 
Baylor tacked on an unearned run in the fourth, but that was largely the only remaining damage done against Wyatt in his career-long outing. Typically used as a late-inning reliever last season, Wyatt worked around a pair of leadoff doubles in the fifth and sixth innings, silencing the Bears otherwise.
 
Senior Will Simoneit doubled in the seventh inning, and freshman Justin Taylor drew walks in each of his final four plate appearances.
 
The three-game series concludes at 12:05 p.m. CST Sunday.
