NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Bowling Green State University baseball team was defeated by Lipscomb University on Sunday (Feb. 16) afternoon by a score of 5-2. Lipscomb won all three games on the weekend. The series was played at LU's Dugan Field.

The Bisons scored two runs in the first, and led the rest of the way. LU's Malik Williams hit a two-run home run in the eighth inning to extend the home team's lead to three runs at 5-2.

Bowling Green's Kyle Gurney hit a solo shot in the fourth – his first-career home run. Along with making an #SCTop10-type catch in the sixth in left field, fellow freshman Adam Fallon singled home a run in the fifth.

Owen Recker made his BGSU debut on the mound, working 5.0 solid innings. The right-handed pitcher allowed four hits and three runs (two earned). He struck out five batters and walked two. After allowing a two-run first, Recker allowed just one run and three hits over the next four frames.

Nathan Lohmeier made his first appearance on the bump since 2017. The southpaw tossed a scoreless eighth inning, working out of a runners-at-the-corners-with-one-out jam unscathed. Jay Ward worked a perfect seventh inning in relief for the Falcons.

Bowling Green will compete in the Hughes Bos. Challenge next weekend in Wilmington, North Carolina. Over Feb. 21-23, the Falcons will play against UNC Wilmington (Feb. 21), Marshall (Feb. 22) and Butler (Feb. 23). All games will be played at UNCW's Brooks Field.
