COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – Miguel Hugas earned his fifth win of the season after a dominant eight innings that secured Mercer a 10-2 win over Tennessee Tech (7-12) at Bush Stadium on Saturday evening.

Decisive Plays:

The Bears broke the deadlock first with a three-spot in the top of the third inning highlighted by a two-run double (12) from Titan Kamaka. Tennessee Tech responded in the fourth with a two-run home run by Jorsixt Jimenez that hugged the foul pole. Brant Baughcum answered with a solo home run (2) to left center in the fifth. Later in the frame, Devyn McEachron mashed a two-run double (2) off the left-field fence and came home off a wild pitch to extend Mercer's lead to five runs. Logan Shepherd tacked on another run with yet another RBI single and a pair of sacrifice flies by Baughcum and Chris Katz capped off the 10-2 win.

Notable Players:

Miguel Hugas: 8.0 IP, 8 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 2 BB, 4 SO, W, 95 NP
Brant Baughcum: 3-for-4, 2 RBI, HR, 2 R
Titan Kamaka: 3-for-5, 2 RBI, BB, R

Noteworthy:

Miguel Hugas hurled eight innings and only allowed two runs in the first quality start by a Bear this season. Hugas' outing is also the longest of the season, and the longest since Colton Cosper's 140-pitch complete game in the Southern Conference tournament last year.

Next Game:

The Bears conclude their weekend series with Tennessee Tech on Sunday, March 15. First pitch is scheduled for 2:00 p.m. Pitching matchups are TBD. Live stats will be available here.
