DELAND, Fla. \u2013 Baylor softball opened its stay in Florida with a dominat 9-1 win over Stetson on Wednesday night at Patricia Wilson Field.<\/p>\n

The sophomore right hander scatted four hits in five innings of work, while striking out three.<\/p>\n RUNDOWN<\/p>\n Baylor wasted no time getting on the board in the first. Amber Toven<\/a> doubled to left center before Karynton Dawson<\/a> launched a two-run home run to straightaway center field, giving the Bears a quick 2-0 lead.<\/p>\n Stetson answered in the bottom of the second with a solo home run from Logan Forman, trimming the lead to 2-1.<\/p>\n The Bears broke the game open in the third inning with a five-run rally. Brooklyn Carter<\/a> started the inning with a single and later scored on a groundout from Faith Piper<\/a>. After Sa’Mya Jones<\/a> worked a walk to load the bases, Kaygen Marshall<\/a> delivered the biggest swing of the night, blasting a grand slam to center field to extend the Baylor lead to 7-1.<\/p>\n Baylor added two more runs in the fourth inning. Carter drew a walk and stole second before Toven walked to put two runners on.
