TENNESSEE TECH COOKEVILLE HIGH VOLLEYBALL Tech rally falls short, Bucknell Taking the next step wins series By MIKE LEHMAN TTU Sports Information

COOKEVILLE — A fierce rally over the final three innings came up just short for the Tennessee Tech baseball team (4-3) Sunday after- noon, as the visiting Bucknell Bison (4-3) held on for a 6-5 vic- tory to take the weekend series. After stranding 16 runners on base in Saturday’s action, the Golden Eagle scoring woes continued through the first six innings of the ball game. The Bison held the Tech lineup score- Baseball less for two thirds of the contest, preventing 10 Golden Eagle base runners from crossing the plate. Facing a 6-0 deficit entering the bottom of the third, senior Jake Farrsparked the first scoring ses- sion of the game for the home squad, kicking off the inning with a single off the pitcher’s glove on an 0-2 count. The second baseman reached third base on back-to-back wild pitches with Chris Brown locked into a 2-2 battle with Buck- nell hurler Max Kra. The Golden Eagle catcher deci- sively won the battle at the plate, launching a mammoth, two-run moonshot into right center field, his first home run in the TTU purple and gold. The Bison recorded their first out before giving up a single through the right side to freshman Kevin Strohschein. A two-out dou- ble from the reigning Ohio Valley Conference Rookie of the Year, Ryan Flick, put runners on second and third before a sac fly from third baseman Matt Jones provided Tech’s third run of the inning. Bucknell closed out the frame and held Tech off the scoreboard in the eighth, giving the ball to closer Danny Rafferty in the bottom of the ninth. After picking up the save in Saturday’s contest, the Bison south- paw collected his first out after a torched ground ball by Brown was handled cleanly at third base and tossed to first base. He then got ahead in the count on Golden Eagle first baseman Chase Chambers, who made two spectac- ular diving stops earlier in the con- test. Facing a 1-2 offering from Rafferty, Chambers ripped a single up the middle to give Tech life in the ninth.
