SERIES HISTORY/NOTES
It was only the third all-time meeting between Trevecca and Belmont as NCAA schools, and the Bruins now hold the 2-1 advantage in the series.
HOW IT HAPPENED
Belmont got on the board first, when John Behrends' RBI single up the middle of the field drove in Carson Shacklett for a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning. Trevecca's response came in the top of the second, when John O'Dwyer blasted a bomb to right field that carried over the wall for a solo home run, which tied the game at 1-1.
Kevin Okins grounded out to shortstop in the bottom of the second for Belmont, but it was enough to score freshman Guy Lipscomb to give the Bruins the 2-1 edge. Belmont piled on two more runs in the bottom of the third, with a two-run homer to right field by John Behrends, and an RBI double by Drew Lowry.
Behrends picked up his fourth RBI of the afternoon on a groundout to the mound that scored Schacklett.
