CAMPBELLSVILLE, Ky. – For the second-straight game, Campbellsville baseball defeated Fisher College by a final score of 11-5 Sunday evening at HIG Field.

Austin Peterson.
Peterson's home run came in the eighth inning to pull the Tiger lead to its final of 11-5 as the senior took a 1-0 pitch and sent it over the left field wall for his team leading fourth home run. It was the second home run of the game for CU as
Donnel Bailey cranked his first of the season to left in the third inning to give Campbellsville a 6-3 lead.

FC did jump ahead 2-0 after the top of the first after three-straight singles off of Deason to start the game. That followed with a sacrifice fly and an unearned run after a throw from second to first on an attempted double play got away from
Ian Nowak allowing a runner to score from second base on the play.
Deason had a solid game overall on the mound and at the plate as he went four innings on the mound allowing three runs, two earned on four hits while striking out six. At the plate, Deason went 2-for-5 with two doubles as he moved to the designated hitter position once his day on the mound was done.
