HOW IT HAPPENED
-Berry got out to a strong start in the second inning with three runs in the inning.
-In the fourth, it became a 4-0 deficit after a wild pitch scored the run.
-Sewanee began the rally in the bottom half of the frame. After
Hunter Herndon reached on an error and a
Will Yarbro hit-by-pitch,
Mike Lewishall slugged his fourth homer of the season to cut the deficit to a run, 4-3.
-In the sixth, the Purple Tigers took the lead and did not look back.
Charlie Teel brought Jaden Fetrow home on a base knock, and, thanks to a fielding error in the outfield, Yarbro scored the go-ahead run on the play.
-Next,
Owen Andress added two insurance runs with a two-run base hit to clear the bases.
-Berry added a run in the ninth, but that would be all
Jake Nevle would surrender for his second save of the season.
