MACON – A perfect 4-for-4 day with four RBI from Titan Kamaka highlighted the Mercer Bears' (11-1) 10-5 win, and a weekend sweep, over the Penn Quakers (0-6) on Sunday afternoon at OrthoGeorgia Park.

Decisive Plays:

Penn got on the board first with a three-run home run by Jack Warner in the top of the second inning and an RBI single gave the Quakers a 4-0 lead after three and a half innings of play. Penn's lead was short-lived as Mercer responded with six runs in the home half of the third. Logan Shepherd mashed his fifth home run of the season, a two-run shot to right field, Braydon Kersey ripped an RBI double off the wall and Kamaka cleared the bases with a two-run double of his own before Devyn McEachron brought him home with an RBI single. Both teams would trade a run apiece in the fourth with a pair of RBI singles by Nick Spaventa and Kamaka. The rest of the contest would be all Mercer as Kamaka ripped another RBI double in the sixth before Chris Katz blasted his fourth home run of the season into Five Star Stadium.

Noteworthy:

Titan Kamaka went a perfect 4-for-4 with 4 RBI to improve his batting average to .514 on the year. He joins Chris Katz as the only Bears to record a four-hit game so far this season.
Logan Shepherd snapped an eight-game homerless streak with his two-run blast in the third inning. After opening the season with four home runs through four games, the junior first baseman went 68 innings without a four-bagger.
Jeb Johnson turned the game around for the Bears with his relief outing on Sunday afternoon. The senior pitcher tossed 4.2 innings of one-run ball to stifle the Quakers and help Mercer maintain its momentum en route to a 10-5 victory.
