“Kelsee was phenomenal and Coach (Britni) Newman did a great job calling the game,” Moore said. “She had to go to her fourth best pitch today, and to be able to beat them tells you a whole lot. They were tough outs, and we knew they’d play their best on senior weekend.”

Following her complete game in a 3-1 win over Baylor on Saturday, Tiarra Davis shut out the Lady Bears in the first three innings Sunday.

When Paige von Sprecken (6-6) relieved Davis in the fourth inning, Baylor broke through for its first run.

Baylor loaded the bases with singles by Kyla Walker, Hawkins and Shelby Friudenberg before Jessie Scroggins hit a run-scoring single.

After the Lady Bears threatened in the fifth and sixth innings, they finally extended their lead with their three-run seventh.

Taylor Ellis opened the seventh with a walk before Lindsey Cargill and Walker reached on singles to load the bases. After Erica Wright relieved, Hawkins drilled a three-run double down the left-field line to push Baylor’s lead to 4-0.

“You get frustrated when you’re not getting the big hit, but we kept putting the pressure on,” Moore said. “Ari’s a senior played with a lot experience and she made a nice adjustment at the plate.”

Texas tried to rally in the seventh as Jade Gotarez and Stephanie Wong singled with one out. Walker then made an outstretched catch after a long run in left-field foul territory on Devon Tunning’s drive for the second out before Randel Leahy flew out to Hawkins at second base for the final out.
