CAMPBELLSVILLE, Ky. — Tiger baseball could not slow down the hot bats of Roger Williams and Jose Alonso, dropping the rubber match with University of the Cumberlands, 6-2.

Campbellsville (12-7, 1-2 MSC) drops its first Mid-South Conference series, 2-1. On Friday night, the Tigers fell in in game one (5-1) but came away with a victory in game two (5-3). Cumberlands improves to 18-5 overall and 2-1 inside the conference.

CU was only able to scratch six hits but five of those coming from the duo of Nestor Linares (3-of-4) and Cameron Ketchen (2-for-3). Cumberlands was led by Roger (3-for-5), Reed Spata (2-for-4) and Jose Alonzo drove in three runs.

Cumberlands scratched a run in the first after Williams delivered a leadoff double and later scored on an RBI single by Landon Byron.

The Patriots added on in the third. Roger led off the with a single and advanced after a passed ball by Riley Joyce. After moving to third on a groundout, Alonzo hit his first home run of the season off a 2-2 hanging breaking ball putting UC ahead, 3-0.

That was all Cumberlands would need. Campbellsville's Nick Przybylek (3-1) pitched perfect 4^th, 5^th and 6^th innings but the Patriots rallied for two more runs in the seventh. Reed Spata led off with a drag bunt single and Roger followed with a base knock to right field. Ryan Norrix replaced Przybylek on the mound but his command sub par – walking a batter to load the bases and then allowing another free pass to score the fourth UC run.

Casey Congleton replaced Norrix but allowed a sac fly to Stone Osbourn pushing the UC lead to 5-0.

Campbellsville took advantage of two Cumberlands errors in the seventh. Joyce reached on the first error and Linares followed with a single to put runners on first and second with one out. After another error, CU loaded the bases and scored on a wild pitch by UC starter Zach Hurley.

Diego Reynoso then recorded an RBI groundout to score Linares, 5-2. Hurley (2-1) picked up the win by throwing seven strong innings, allowing five hits and two unearned runs.
