WACO, Texas (Interstat) — Baylor’s pitching staff combined for a four-hit shutout and the Bears’ offense erupted for four runs in the fourth inning to defeat Air Force 7-0 on Friday night at Baylor Ballpark.

Five Baylor pitchers struck out 14 Falcons, led by two perfect innings of relief with four strikeouts from RJ Ruais. The Bears broke open a scoreless game in the fourth with an RBI triple from Ty Johnson, a run-scoring double by Brady Janusek and an RBI triple from Snow, who later scored on a wild pitch.

Travis Sanders and Janusek each had three of Baylor’s 11 hits. Air Force starter Gaines Estridge took the loss, allowing five earned runs over five innings. The Bears improved to 7-6, while the Falcons fell to 3-9. The teams continue their three-game series Saturday.
