Lions Top Bucs 7-4

Tyler Dunn went 2-for-4 with a run scored in the Bucs' 7-4 loss at North Alabama Sunday.
Box Score FLORENCE, Ala.—Host North Alabama completed a three-game sweep of the Christian Brothers University Bucs Sunday afternoon with a 7-4 win.

The Bucs (10-27, 3-15 GSC) struck first with two runs in the top of the first inning.  A single and two infield errors loaded the bases with one out, and Hunter Parham (Southaven, Miss./Southaven HS) followed with a two-run single.  The Lions (31-11, 11-7) took the lead for good in the bottom of the first, scoring three runs on two walks and three singles.  The Lions tacked on two runs in the third on a pair of singles, two errors, and a sacrifice fly.  A run in the fourth and a run in the sixth extended UNA's lead to 7-2.

The Bucs scored one run in the seventh on three straight singles by Tyler Dunn (Bartlett, Tenn./Tipton-Rosemark Academy), Cody Warren (Orlando, Fla./Orangewood Christian HS), and Jimmy Franklin (Knoxville, Tenn./Powell HS).  They scored again in the eighth to set the final margin when Will Wilson (Cordova, Tenn./First Assembly Christian School) hit an RBI double to score Alan Wright (Olive Branch, Miss./DeSoto Central HS), who reached on a fielder's choice.

Dunn, Wilson, and Franklin collected two hits each for the Bucs.  Relievers Matt Ariemma (Bartlett, Tenn./St. Benedict HS) and Cary Crain (Millington, Tenn./Millington HS) each tossed a scoreless inning.

The Bucs wrap up their seven-game roadtrip Tuesday afternoon at 4 p.m., when they visit Union.  They return home Thursday afternoon at 3 p.m. to host Rhodes.
