Andrew Livernois had two hits for the Bucs in game two. Foster, Hehn, Dahlke and Bobby Lawrence all had a hit.
CBU finishes the season 24-22, including a school-record ten wins in the GSC. Hehn used a monster season to rewrite the CBU record books. He set six different season records this year including batting average (.482), doubles (19), RBIs (64), total bases (137), slugging (.835) and on-base percentage (.563). Hehn's 13 home runs tied him for seventh in a season and his 79 hits were third best all-time.
Hehn set the career record for doubles with 46 and sacrifice flies with 13. His three grand slams this year tied the career mark and is the second-highest mark ever in the Gulf South Conference. His .482 batting average is the sixth-highest ever in the GSC and the highest average in the league since 1999.
