Baylor (7-4)

Up: Freshman right fielder Aaron Miller hit his first collegiate home run and went 5-for-11 with four RBI and four runs as Baylor won its weekend series against Oral Roberts.

In the hole: Freshman Dustin Dickerson provided little pop during the weekend, going 1-for-11 with one RBI and one run.

On deck: The Bears will participate in the Pacific State Bank Tiger Classic this weekend. Baylor will play San Francisco, Pacific and San Diego State.

Kansas State (7-1)

Up: Sophomore right-hander Justin Murray helped Kansas State sweep its weekend tournament in Tampa, Fla., by striking out a career-high seven in 6.2 innings against James Madison.

In the hole: Sophomore infielder Nate Tenbrink had a rough weekend, going 0-for-7 with an error in the field. He got on base the hard way, though, twice being hit by pitches.

On deck: Kansas State will participate in the Lamar Classic this weekend against St. John’s, Lamar and Cal-Santa Barbara.

Missouri (6-5)

Up: Sophomore starters Rick Zagone and Aaron Crow combined for 17 strikeouts in 15.1 innings and allowed just one run between them, but neither earned victories, thanks to anemic offensive support and a shaky bullpen.

In the hole: In Missouri’s three losses this past weekend, its bullpen allowed 13 runs. Of those, only five were earned. The Tiger bullpen and defense needs improvement.

On deck: Missouri will play its home opener this weekend as it hosts Youngstown State for a three-game series.

No. 18 Nebraska (5-2)

Up: Junior shortstop Ryan Wehrle anchored the Nebraska offense, going 6-for-13 with a home run, three RBI and three runs. He didn’t leave a single runner on base as the Cornhuskers went 2-1 in the Rice Invitational.

On deck: Nebraska will participate in the Stetson Invitational this weekend against Iowa, Notre Dame and Stetson.

Oklahoma (5-4)

Up: After reaching double-digits in runs only once in their first seven games and scoring just one run in the previous game, the Sooners exploded on Saturday, beating Western Illinois 24-4 before sweeping the series on Sunday.

In the hole: If there was a negative from the weekend, senior Joseph Hughes went 2-for-8 at the plate. Still, he also pitched 2.1 innings of scoreless relief.

On deck: Oklahoma will play host to No. 20 UC Riverside for three-game set this weekend.

No. 21 Oklahoma State (6-3)

Up: Freshman left-hander Andrew Oliver helped the Cowboys win the final game of the weekend, allowing only one earned run in five innings while striking out five.

On deck: Oklahoma State will play host to Nicholls State this weekend for a three-game series.

No. 13 Texas (9-6)

Up: Senior center fielder Nick Peoples helped Texas take two of three from Washington State, going 5-for-11 with two RBI, five runs and two stolen bases.

In the hole: Senior closer Randy Boone continues to struggle. After earning the save on Friday, he allowed four runs in 2.1 innings on Sunday, letting the series sweep slip away.

On deck: Texas continues its home stand this weekend as Oral Roberts comes to town for three games.

No. 25 Texas A&M (11-1)

In the hole: Sophomore right-hander Kyle Thebeau lasted only 2.1 innings on Saturday, allowing four runs (three earned) on five hits and two walks.

In the hole: Senior left-hander Colt Hynes didn’t earn the loss on Saturday, but he did allow five runs (four earned) on 10 hits in five innings, forcing the Red Raiders to fight an uphill battle.

On deck: Texas Tech welcomes Cal State Northridge to Lubbock this weekend for three games.
