The Bulldog Baseball team pounded out 15 hits and scored 15 runs in the nightcap to earn a split of their weekend series with Fort Hays State on Sunday.
Truman lost game one 6-2 but run-ruled the Tigers in game two 15-4.
Pete Jurich had a monster series for the Bulldogs as he hit .538 (7-of-13) with three doubles, two home runs, seven RBIs and a slugging percentage of 1.231.
A grand slam by Mace Krol in the bottom of the third was the difference in the Tigers taking game three of the series and first on Sunday 6-2.
Krol took Tim Lee deep over the left field fence with two outs in the inning after the Bulldogs intentionally walked the Tigers top hitter Ryan Busboom to load them up.
Steven Rose put Truman on the board as he hit one out to left as well to lead off the fourth but an error in the bottom of the inning led to the Tigers scoring a fifth run.
A leadoff walk in the fifth came in to score on a two-out single by Brandon Hoefler.
Rose would walk and score on Jurich’s two-out double in the sixth. Tim Lee took the loss to even his record at 3-3 going the distance while allowing five hits and striking out six.
Devon Myers and Jarod Hahn each drove in three runs as the Bulldogs put out their best offensive show to date in a 15-4 victory.
Pete Jurich led off the second inning with a home run and the Bulldogs pushed across four in the third to lead 5-0. 14 hitters went to the dish in the fifth as Truman scored eight times including a three-run homer by Hahn.
Truman added two more in the sixth on a single by Will Nader.
Daniel Jewett, making his first weekend start, pitched five and a third for the win before getting in trouble in the sixth. Tyler Stefan finished the game off going the final one and two-thirds as he took over the Bulldog pitching career appearance record with his 57th.
