In the next inning, Baylor would add three more runs to extend their lead to 4-0.

Kaila Konz got the Cyclones on the board in the fourth inning. She hit an inside-the-park home run to left field, her first home run of her career.

Iowa State would be unable to cut into the Baylor lead, falling 5-1 to the Bears.

The Cyclones return to action Saturday at noon for game two of three against Baylor.
