WACO, Texas (FOX 44<\/a>) \u2014 Baylor baseball couldn\u2019t complete the sweep, falling to Texas Tech 8-3 on Sunday at Baylor Ballpark.<\/p>\n

The Bears held a 3-1 lead through six innings but were unable to hold off a late surge, as the Red Raiders scored seven unanswered runs to rally for the win and salvage the series finale.<\/p>\n

Despite the loss, redshirt senior first baseman Tyce Armstrong delivered another milestone performance, hitting his 21st home run of the season. The blast tied Baylor\u2019s single season record set by Charley Carter in 1998. It also marked Armstrong\u2019s seventh home run in the past five games, a stretch that is believed to be unprecedented in program history.<\/p>\n

Tyce Armstrong has been a steady presence in the lineup during the recent surge of power.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s such a mature kid,\u201d Baylor coach Mitch Thompson said. \u201cIn everything that he does and how he goes about his classwork and how he leaves his team, how he goes about his work every day, he\u2019s such a humble, low maintenance guy. I mean, what a coach\u2019s dream.\u201d<\/p>\n

Armstrong said he remained focused on his teammates throughout the achievement.<\/p>\n

Armstrong said, \u201cI\u2019m grateful and grateful for this opportunity and grateful for these teammates as coaches that took a chance on me. And it\u2019s just awesome that I could do it for them.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Bears will look to bounce back Tuesday in a midweek road matchup against the Texas State.<\/p>\n
