2005 Baylor Bears
The 2005 Baylor Bears squad was one of the most successful teams in Baylor history. With a strong pitching staff, the squad won the Big 12 Conference and hosted both a NCAA Regional and NCAA Super Regional before advancing to the 2005 College World Series in Omaha, Nebraska.
At the College World Series, the Bears were defeated by the University of Texas Longhorns in the opening game. However, in back-to-back games, the Bears defeated Oregon State and #1 Tulane to set a rematch with the Longhorns. Despite leading 3-2 through the 8th inning, the Bears fell 4-3 which ended the season. Despite the loss in Omaha, the Bears were highly rated to end the season. Baseball America, Collegiate Baseball, and USA Today, along with several other publications, ranked the Bears #4 in the country to end the year.
