LIONS RALLY FOR 5-3 ASUN WIN AT LIPSCOMB

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- North Alabama broke a 3-3 tie with two runs in the top of the ninth inning and freshman Will Haberstock picked up his first collegiate win with three and two-thirds innings of scoreless relief as the Lions downed Lipscomb 5-3 in ASUN Conference baseball play.

It was the Lions fifth straight win over the Bisons this season and keeps UNA in the race for a possible ASUN Conference Tournament berth. With the win, UNA is now 7-33 overall and 6-14 in ASUN play. Lipscomb falls to 14-24 overall and 5-12 in the ASUN.

Lipscomb broke on top with a run in the third inning but UNA tied it with a run in the top of the fifth. Luke Harper, Harris Kain and Drew Hudson all walked to load the bases and Kylan Barnett drew a walk to force in the tying run.

Lipscomb went back on top 2-1 with a run in the bottom of the fifth and UNA again rallied to tie the game with a run in the sixth. Peyton Thomas walked, Reid Singewald doubled and Thomas scored on an RBI-single by Luke Harper to make it 2-2.

A run by Lipscomb in the bottom of the sixth gave the Bisons a 3-2 advantage and forced UNA starter Chase Best out of the game. Best allowed three runs, just two earned, on six hits over five and a third innings. He struckout five.

Haberstock (1-3) then entered the game and held the Bisons scoreless the rest of the way, giving up just one hit while striking out four.

The Lions scored a run in the top of the seventh to tie the game again at 3-3. Devne singled and eventually scored on an RBI-single by Thomas.

UNA loaded the bases in the top of the eighth but could not score.

In the ninth, Thomas got a leadoff double and Gerardo Miranda cam on to pinch run. Kevin Brenning reached on an error on a sacrifice attempt and Miranda scored on the throw for the go-ahead run. An RBI-double by Harper scored Brenning to make it 5-3.

Haberstock retired the Bisons in order in the bottom of the ninth.

Harper was 3-for-4 with a run scored and two runs batted in, while Thomas was also 3-for-4 with a run scored and one RBI.
