NASHVILLE – The Lipscomb University baseball team scored three insurance runs in the seventh to help secure the series sweep over Central Arkansas, 5-1, Saturday afternoon inside Ken Dugan Field at Stephen Lee Marsh Stadium.
Final Score: Lipscomb 5, Central Arkansas 1
Location: Ken Dugan Field at Stephen Lee Marsh Stadium
Records: Lipscomb (18-20, 11-7), Central Arkansas (14-24, 8-10)
HOW IT HAPPENED
After three clean innings on both sides, Lipscomb finally struck first in the bottom of the fourth inning with a one-out, 379-foot home run by David Coppedge for his seventh home run of the season.
After back-to-back 1-2-3 innings from Davis Rokose and Joey Mitchell in the fifth and sixth to keep the Bears off the board, the Bisons used a lead off single by Brady Miller, and after a walk by Parks Bouck and a double steal to put runners at second and third, David Coppedge made it a 2-0 lead with an RBI groundout.
In the seventh, UCA got through to Mitchell on the hill. A sacrifice fly by Tanner Leonard cut the deficit in half, 2-1. However, the Bisons brought on Collin Bosley-Smith out of the bullpen and he got out of the jam with a strikeout.
Lipscomb quickly got the run back in the bottom of the seventh with a lead off home run by Damion Kenealy Jr. for his sixth of the season.
After a walk by Jake Berg and a wild pitch, Jacob Tobias made it a 4-1 lead with his pinch hit RBI single.
Later, Aaron Stelogeannis made it a 5-1 lead with a double that went over the head of center fielder Sam Reynolds.
After getting those three insurance runs in the seventh, Bosley-Smith slammed the door on any comeback attempt from the Bears, as he retired the side in order in the eighth and worked around a two-out walk in the ninth to earn the save and complete the sweep.
KEY STATISTICS
David Coppedge posted a two-RBI game after his 1-for-4 day at the plate. Aaron Stelogeannis and Damion Kenealy Jr. each added an RBI of their own in the win.
Davis Rokose (2-0) earned the win, tossing five shutout innings, allowing two hits and no walks, while striking out five. Collin Bosley-Smith, who entered the game in the seventh with a 2-1 lead, finished the game out and earned his second save of the season.
UP NEXT
The Bisons will hit the road to Knoxville for a trip to No. 4 Tennessee on Tuesday night.
