Hometown natives pitch Hilltoppers past Lipscomb

The WKU baseball team hosted Lipscomb Wednesday afternoon as the Bisons (6-3) and Hilltoppers (7-1) were both looking for key non-conference victories. However, the Bisons struggled to get hits off Bowling Green natives Josh Bartley and Jackson Sowell as the Hilltoppers cruised to a 6-0 victory to improve to 7-1 on the season.

“Its a great feeling,” senior pitcher Josh Bartley said. “Our hitters are backing us up. Our pitchers came out and set the tone. It just feels good to have another quality win under our belt so far.”

After a scoreless first inning, sophomore outfielder Kaleb Duckworth made the game's first big play from the plate for the Hilltoppers.
