WHAT HAPPENED

The Bulldogs took the lead in the bottom of the second with a solo homer from Hayden Lewis, his fifth of the year, on the first pitch of the inning. The second run of the inning came in two batters later when Ryne Roper scored on a groundout to the shortstop to give Union a 2-0 lead.

The Bulldogs added another run in the third when David Robins drew a walk forcing in Ryne Roper from third for the 3-0 lead.

With the bases loaded in the top of the fourth, the Boll Weevils took the lead with one swing of the bat on a bases clearing triple from Brian Ray who then came in to score after catching the Union defense off guard to take the 4-3 lead.

Union was quick to answer the four run outburst from UAM in the next half inning when Zach Phillips tripled to deep right center that drove in Nolen Milton all the way from first base to tie the game at 4-4.

AUM continued their offensive momentum from the fifth with two more runs in the sixth. McFadden laced a 2-RBIi single to left field to give his team the 6-4 lead that stood as the final
