Trailing 10-4, Baylor (34-23) scored five runs in the bottom of the ninth inning before Bryce Bandilla got Raynor Campbell to hit a fly ball to end the game with two runners on base.

Arizona had just two hits in the inning, including freshman Mejia’s two-run double. The ninth batter in Arizona’s lineup went 3 for 4 and also drove in runs with a grounder in the seventh and a single in the ninth.
