Walk-Off Weekly: Bears Drop Series against Central Michigan, Win Big Over HCU

WACO, Texas – The Mitch Thompson era is officially underway at Baylor Ballpark, and the Bears picked up two wins and two losses in the opening weekend of the 2023 season.

You couldn’t write a better script than Friday’s 6-5 walk-off win over a solid Central Michigan ballclub in Thompson’s debut as head coach. Baylor fought back from an early 4-1 deficit, and redshirt freshman Jack Johnson delivered the game-winning hit in the bottom of the tenth.
