HOW IT HAPPENED
 
GAME ONE

• Bellarmine took an early 3-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning. 
• Lipscomb responded with a run in the top of the second. After back-to-back singles from Ethan Stamps and Chaz Bertolani, Robbie Merced delivered a groundball RBI to cut the lead 3-1. 
• Bellarmine increased its lead 5-1 in the bottom of the fourth. 
• The Bisons got a run back in the top of the fifth on a sacrifice fly delivered by Malik Williams that cut lead 5-2. 
• A Knights home run increased its lead 7-2. 
• Lipscomb began to cut into the lead in the top of the seventh. Haddon Adams worked a leadoff walk and scored when Maddux Houghton doubled to left center for a 7-3 score. 
• David Graves got the Bisons within a run with one swing of the bat later in the inning with a deep shot to right field that made the score 7-6.
• Needing a run to keep the game alive, Lipscomb did the job in the top of the ninth. Again, Stamps and Bertolani got two on with no outs to start the inning. Borom then juiced the bases when he beat out the throw at first. Carter Smith doubled to right center which knotted things 7-7. 
• The lead came when heads-up base running from the Bisons allowed two more to cross the plate on a dropped third strike for a 9-7 lead. 
• Tyler Guilfoil took over the bump to try for his second save in as many days. A leadoff home run put the pressure on, but Guilfoil got the outs needed, backed by a fantastic grab by Smith at third for the final out of the game and a 9-8 victory. 

 
GAME TWO

• The Knights took an early 1-0 lead in the first inning. 
• Lipscomb's first hit of the game came from Graves to leadoff the second inning, but he was eventually stranded.

• The Knights lead ballooned 7-0 with five runs in the bottom of the sixth inning. 
• Lipscomb was able to crack the scoreboard in the top of the seventh. Carter Smith got things going with a single through the right side. An error and a walk loaded the bases with one out and Ty Jones drove in a run with a single to cut the lead 7-1. 
• Merced pinch hit to lead off the top of the eighth and hammered a triple down the left field line. A single from Smith scored Merced to cut the lead 7-2.
