KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – The Bowling Green State University baseball team continued the weekend series against No. 8 Tennessee on Saturday (March 2). DJ Newman began the game with a solo home run, his third of the season, but that was the extent of the Bowling Green run production for the day. On the mound, Nic Good toed the rubber for four innings, striking out a career-high eight before handing it over to the bullpen. The Volunteers' offense tallied 12 runs in the contest for a 12-1 final in seven innings.

HOW IT HAPPENED

In the first at-bat of the game, DJ Newman started the Bowling Green offense with a solo shot to right field, putting the Falcons in front 1-0.
Tennessee responded in the bottom half with back-to-back home runs from their top two batters in the lineup to take a 2-1 advantage. Nic Good worked out of the inning with three-straight strikeouts.
Cooper McKenzie tallied a hit for the Falcons in the second, but that was the only offensive action for BGSU in the inning.
A similar story played out in the third for Bowling Green with Sam Seidel logging a base hit to keep the offense active.
In the bottom of the third, Tennessee began with a double followed by a two-run home run to move their lead to 4-1.

Seidel began the sixth inning with a single to center before stealing second. He moved to third on a ground out, but was unable to score.
A two-out rally in the sixth extended the Tennessee lead. A solo home run along with a two-RBI single and a two-RBI double, with the final four runs unearned, made it a 10-1 Volunteers' advantage.
