A-Sun setting on Lipscomb

By Bryan App - May 24, 2007

The Bison retired in order in the top of the ninth and will now retire from the A-Sun tournament, as Gardner-Webb avoided elimination with a 4-1 win.

Mistakes doomed Lipscomb in this one. The Bulldogs scored three unearned runs and were actually out-hit (8-9) by the Bison. At the same time, one run won't win many college baseball games, and the Gardner-Webb defense did a great job of bending but not breaking in the seventh and eighth innings.

Fourth-seeded Jacksonville will try to avoid elimination in a 3 p.m. game against top-seeded Stetson. Until then, I smell some BBQ in the next room.
