Bruins Fall to Lipscomb Tuesday Night

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Belmont Baseball (23-8, 10-2) dropped a midweek game, 5-3, to crosstown rival Lipscomb on Tuesday night at Ken Dugan Field.

Belmont got on the board early behind an RBI sacrifice fly from Drew Turner (Shelbyville, Tenn.) in the first inning, but Lipscomb answered with a run of their own in the bottom half of the inning to tie the game at 1-1.

The Bisons took a 2-1 lead in the second inning behind a leadoff single.
With two outs in the top of the eighth, Jamie Ritchie (Burford, Ga.) doubled to left field to score Scott Moses (Englewood, Tenn.) from second base to tie the game at 2-2.
Lipscomb scored three runs in the bottom of the eighth to take a 5-2 lead over the Bisons behind a bases loaded walk and a double.
Blake Harvey (Murfreesboro, Tenn.) matched his career high of three strikeouts during his three innings of relief.
With runners on the first and second, Judah Akers (Cookeville, Tenn.) singled up the middle to load the bases with no outs in the top of the ninth. Ray Eastman (Oro Valley, Ariz.) drew a walk to allow Drew Ferguson (Knoxville, Tenn.) to score, cutting the Bisons lead, 5-3.
Lipscomb pitched out of the jam to leave the bases loaded and secure the 5-3 win.
The Bisons will return the trip to E.S. Rose Park on April 23.
The Bruins will return home for a three-game conference series with SIU-Edwardsville beginning Friday with a 5:00pm start.
