LEBANON, Tenn - It took one swing for Baylor’s Vito Valincias to show Briarcrest why the Red Raiders bat him cleanup. After laying off two balls, the right-hander obliterated the baseball on the first strike he saw, sending it at least 400 feet and far, far, far above the left field fence. While the game still had four more innings to play, that three-run bomb to make it 7-0 was in many ways the dagger that ended Briarcrest’s season. For the third time in four seasons, the Red Raiders took home the DII-AA state championship.

Baylor Rallies In Game 2 Of Doubleheader To Advance To Murfreesboro
Red Raiders Push Late Runs Across To Defeat Ensworth Thursday, May 20, 2021 - by William Shelton
Baylor won the first of two TSSAA State Tournament games against Ensworth 11-0 without breaking a sweat. The second game required seven pitching changes and a six run seventh inning before the Red Raiders walked off with a dramatic 12-11 victory.
The second game of the doubleheader was a three-hour slog. Baylor Head Coach Greg Elie was visibly tired after five hours of tournament baseball.
“I saw a lot of good stuff tonight, we overcame adversity.” Coach Elie said. “We got a lot of big plays from a lot of different guys, that’s what makes this team so good.”

Baylor Nips McCallie To Complete Three-Game Sweep
Jonathan Larrea Gets Save As Red Raiders Hold On To Win, 3-2 Wednesday, April 28, 2021 - by John Hunt
The Baylor baseball team proved they can win close games too.
More often than not this spring, the Red Raiders have used an explosive offense to score lots of runs, winning most of their games by 10 runs or more, but that wasn’t the case at Baylor’s Wyatt McMahan Field Wednesday night.
Facing arch-rival McCallie for the third straight day, Baylor completed a sweep of the Blue Tornado, but unlike the first two games where Baylor rolled by scores of 10-0 and 8-2, Wednesday’s game was a classic battle between two really good high school baseball teams.
