After being delayed for nearly two hours due to rain, Tim Lee tossed a career game as he pitched a four-hit complete-game shutout.

Lee did not surrender a walk but hit three Bearcats while striking out a pair in his third win of the season. 

The Bulldogs stranded a runner on third base in the each of the first three innings before finally getting the lone run on an errant throw by the pitcher, Cody Holzer on Daniel Jewett’s swinging bunt that brought Devon Myers around from second.

Truman left 10 on the base paths as the defense, behind Lee preserved the 1-0 win. Myers and Paul Trenhaile each had two of Truman’s seven hits.
 
 
A six-run rally in the bottom of the seventh propelled the Bulldogs to an 8-7 victory and a series split with Southwest Baptist.

After spotting the Bearcats three in the first and four in the top of the seventh, a double by Devon Myers began the comeback.

Jerod Hahn singled in Myers with one-out and Blake Marino followed with a base hit to left to score Pete Jurich. After a pitching change, Paul Trenhaile singled to score Hahn.

Zak Larkin hit a two-out single to right that brought in Trenhaile for the tying run when the right fielder misplayed the ball.

A batter later, Steven Rose got one between the wickets of the shortstop allowing Larkin to come in for the go-ahead run.

Jarrett Eiskina pitched two and two-thirds innings to get the win in relief.
