The Tigers and Bears have met eight times with Baylor holding a 6-2 advantage. The teams last met in Waco, Texas in 2012 with Baylor sweeping a pair of games.
For the first time since its opening in 2010, FedExPark will play host to a team from the Big 12 Conference. The Tigers last hosted a Big 12 team a year after the conference's formation, hosting Baylor at Nat Buring Stadium in 1997.
Memphis hosted former Big 12 team Missouri in 2013, during the program's first season as a member of the SEC. The Tigers played current Big 12 member TCU at home in both the 2003 and 2005 seasons as C-USA rivals.
The Tigers begin a season-long homestand, playing seven-straight home games starting Friday. Memphis will host back-to-back weekend series at FedExPark for the first time since February.
2011 World Series Champion and friend of the Memphis baseball program, Jason Motte will be recognized in a pregame ceremony on Saturday. The Motte Foundation raises money for cancer research, all while providing comfort and care for those affected by cancers of all kinds. For more information about the Motte Foundation visit www.jasonmottefoundation.org.
With back-to-back wins this week, Memphis has only won two-straight games on three occasions this season. This is the first time since 2005 that the Tigers have failed to win at least three-straight games during the first eight weeks of the season. The 2005 team went the entire season without a winning streak.
The Tigers leading hitter, senior outfielder Tyler Webb is top-25 in the NCAA with 14 doubles. Webb is batting .310 with a team-high 20 runs scored. His 16 RBI are the third-most on the team.
