NASHVILLE – Led by freshman Jackson Lee's seven strikeouts, the Lipscomb University Baseball team defeated Belmont University by an 8-2 score to pick up the win at home over the Bruins for the first time since 2015 on Tuesday afternoon from Ken Dugan Field at Stephen Lee Marsh Stadium. 

Final Score: Lipscomb 8, Belmont 2
Location: Nashville, Tennessee (Ken Dugan Field at Stephen Lee Marsh Stadium)
Records: Lipscomb (4-3), Belmont (2-6)

HOW IT HAPPENED
The Bruins got an early run off of starter Ryan Kutz with an RBI base knock by Jake Maddox. 

Lipscomb countered in the bottom of the first thanks to a Keaton Mahan base knock through the left side. 

In the third, after Jackson Lee left a lead-off single at first base, the Bisons used six straight hits to score four times in the frame. Aaron Stelogeannis and Keath Mahan went back-to-back in the extra base hit column with a triple and double, respectively toe lead 3-1. 

Following a pitching change, a Cam Pruitt RBI knock made it a 4-1 advantage. Two batters later, Kai Holm smashed a triple to right field that saw Damion Kenealy Jr. score and give the Bisons a 5-1 lead. 

From there, despite a lead-off walk in the top of the fourth, Lee retired seven straight tbatters, including back-to-back hitters to end the fourth. 

Belmont made it a 5-2 deficit with an RBI triple by Jake Maddox. However, the Bisons added three more runs in the seventh to put the game away. 

HERD NOTES
