NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Union University baseball team used a four-run seventh to take a late lead in Saturday's action at Trevecca Nazarene, but the Bulldogs lost 5-4 when TNU's Joey Parliment hit a walk-off single to clinch the series for his Trojans in the 11th inning.
 
Union's Carson Chavies and Canyon Pace each had three hits and an extra-base hit among the Bulldogs' 10 total knocks. Chavies extended his on-base streak to 12 games and recorded his 10th multi-hit game of the season and third consecutively. Pace garnered the second three-hit game of his career.
 
Union falls to 10-14 (4-10) and will play a doubleheader at Division I UT Martin on Tuesday. Trevecca improved to 8-14 (6-9).
 
Bulldog starter Carter Daniel had allowed just one hit through five scoreless innings when TNU claimed the game's first lead with Parliment's 30th home run as a Trojan, a two-run blast, and plated another in the frame with a bases-loaded hit batsman off reliever Briant Bazydlo. The book closed on Daniel after he had allowed two earned runs on three hits and two walks in 5.0 innings.
 
Union responded in immediate fashion with RBI singles from Colby Davis and Grant Ross and a run-scoring fielder's choice ground ball struck by Chavies, and the Bulldogs held a short-lived 4-3 lead. TNU drew level when Brack Maciak's sacrifice fly drove in freshman Wyatt Bowling, who finished the day with four hits in the seventh game of his collegiate career.
 
TNU strung together three singles in the 11th inning against Bazydlo, who conceded eight hits and three earned runs over 5.0 innings, his season's longest outing.
 
Union lost for the first time in 2025 while collecting 10 or more hits.
