SAN MARCOS, Texas – After seven games at home, the Texas State softball team will hit the road for a single game contest against Big 12 opponent in Baylor on Tuesday evening. This marks the second game this season against the Bears as Texas State fell to them at the Gulf Coast Classic by a score of 11-1 on March 1.
 
The Bobcats hit the road after completing their seven-game home stand with a 4-3 record including a 2-1 mark in Sun Belt Conference play. Currently, the Bobcats are sitting in first place in the SBC.
