Bisons Fall in Close Game At Liberty

Box Score Lynchburg, Va. – Lipscomb Baseball fell 4-1 to Liberty Friday night in Lynchburg. Despite outhitting the Flames 7-6, Lipscomb was unable to get its offense going to overcome the deficit. 
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
 
Even though Tiger Borom knocked a leadoff single in the first at-bat of the game, Lipscomb's offense struggled for the timely hits to drive runs across the plate. 
 
 
Liberty took a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the third and increased the lead by another run in the bottom of the fifth after taking advantage of a Bisons error. 
 
Lipscomb dug in and got a run back in the top of the sixth. Brian Moore singled and scored on a wild pitch to put himself in scoring position. Robbie Merced delivered at the plate with a single down the left field line to get Lipscomb back within a run, 2-1 after the sixth. 
 
 
The Flames tacked on a couple of insurance runs in the bottom of the seventh with a two-run double to increase its lead 4-1. 
 
The Bisons were unable to overcome the deficit and fell in the series opener.
