Baylor and Texas A&M Set for NCAA Softball Tournament Runs

INDIANAPOLIS, Indiana (FOX 44) — It’s Selection Sunday for NCAA Division I softball, and Baylor and Texas A&M are among the teams gearing up for postseason action.

Baylor earned a No. 3 seed in the Austin Regional, marking the Bears’ 17th NCAA Tournament appearance and third in four years. Baylor opens Friday at 12:30 p.m. against Wisconsin at Red and Charline McCombs Field. The winner faces the victor of No. 2 overall seed Texas and No. 4 Wagner, while the losers meet in an elimination game.

“There was a huge sense of relief in that room,” head coach Glenn Moore said. “This team is very close. The culture here is one of the best I’ve been a part of. Seeing these kids achieve what they set out to do was pretty emotional for me.”
