BOILING SPRINGS, N.C. – Bradley Baseball dropped their first game of the four-game weekend to Gardner-Webb on Friday, 10-9.
A Back-and-Forth Battle
Gardner-Webb took an early lead in the first inning on a wild pitch. The Braves responded immediately in the second and tied the game at one on Peyton Nelson's RBI double. Bradley took the lead in the top of the third inning on a Landon Lowe solo shot and added to their lead later in the inning with Jaxon Schumacher's grand slam to make it 6-1.
The Runnin' Bulldogs started to chip away at the deficit in the bottom half of the third inning with an RBI double. They continued to cut into the deficit in the fourth inning with a solo homer and two wild pitches that brought in two separate runners to make it 6-5. They tied the game in the fifth inning with an RBI single.
The Braves regained the lead, as Sohrab Rezaei's sacrifice fly in the top of the sixth made it 7-6, and Lowe's RBI single added an insurance run. Gardner-Webb tied the game at eight in the bottom of the sixth with an RBI single and an RBI double.
