NASHVILLE – Lipscomb fell 11-2 to Belmont Wednesday afternoon at Ken Dugan Field in the final installment of this year's Battle of the Boulevard.

HOW IT HAPPENED

In the first inning, Belmont threatened to quickly open things up, but Lipscomb dug in and stranded the Belmont bases loaded to keep things scoreless.

Belmont took a 3-0 lead with a two-out rally in the top of the second. The Bruins continued to extend its lead in the top of the fourth with four runs to make it a 7-0 ballgame.

Lipscomb was able to crack the scoreboard in the bottom of the sixth inning. Robbie Merced started the rally with a one-out double.
