One night after winning in dramatic come-from-behind fashion, MTSU's baseball team left no doubt as it secured an 18-3 series-clinching win against UAB at Reese Smith Jr. Field Friday.
The Blue Raiders (18-17, 6-8) continued their offensive prowess with 17 hits, including five home runs compliments of Austin Dennis, who belted two, Aaron Aucker, Ryan Kemp and Manuel Lopez, who connected for a three-run, pinch-hit home run in the bottom of the seventh to provide the final dagger. Lopez's blast enacted the C-USA 15-run mercy rule that is in effect in the second game of all league series.
