NASHVILLE, Tenn. - NAIA No. 20 Trevecca (23-13, 6-1 TranSouth) hosted Bethel College (11-19, 3-6 TranSouth) for the first of a three-game TranSouth series on Friday, taking a 10-3 win.

Tim Dunn took the ball for the Trojans, and early on, the Trojans geve him plenty of support. Trevecca scored a run in the bottom of the first, and two each in the third and fourth inning to stake Dunn to a 5-0 lead. Bethel scored once in the top of the fifth, but the Trojans wade it 7-1 with a pair of runs in the bottom half of the frame. Trevecca scored three more in the bottom of the seventh on a Matt Tidwell three-RBI double with two outs that made the score 10-1. Bethel scored two runs off Trojans' reliever Brent Amburn in the top of the ninth, but that was all they could manage as the Trojans took the first game of the series 10-3.

Dunn (9-0) earned the win over Bethel's Chris Crenshaw (1-2) by tossing seven innings of three hit baseball, allowing one earned run. He walked five and struck out a season high 10 batters in the game. Tidwell was 2-for-4 in the game with the double (8), a run scored, and three RBI (19). Chris Lowe was 2-for-4 with a run scored and an RBI (34); and Ross Muirhead also posted a 2-for-4 day with a run and an RBI (26). Lowe (19), and Muirhead (4) each had a stolen base as well.

The two teams are scheduled for a double-header Saturday at Noon.
