NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Lipscomb starter Rex Brothers was nearly untouchable, giving up only a bunt single and one earned run as the Bisons (24-16, 8-5 A-Sun) took a 2-1 A-Sun match-up from Campbell (8-32, 2-14 A-Sun) Friday evening at Dugan Field.

Brothers (7-1) pitched eight strong innings, striking out eight Camels while walking five. Brandon Scott (0-4) took the loss despite not giving up an earned run in his four innings of work, fanning two Bisons batters. Brandon McClurg picked up his third save of the season, his second in as many games, by pitching a perfect ninth inning.

Lipscomb broke a scoreless tie in the fourth with a pair of unearned runs. An error on a Ryan Wilkins ball, followed by a Casey Bond single and stolen base started the Bisons rally. Justin Sanders brought home the first run with a sacrifice fly and Bond recorded the second run of the inning when Andrew Nickerson's ground ball was thrown away by shortstop Robb Meng.

Campbell finally got to Brothers in the eighth with its only run. Mike Causey led-off with a walk and moved to third on a Bryan Braswell sac bunt and Brothers wild pitch. After a Zach Johnson walk, Carlton Floyd brought in Causey with a sacrifice fly to cut the Bisons lead in half, where the game would end.

Campbell failed to make the Lipscomb defense - ranked ninth in the A-Sun - do much work as the Camels struck out or popped out for 21 of their 27 outs. The duo of Scott and LeSage was every bit as good as Brothers, as the two did not allow an earned run, while the CU defense made three errors on the evening.

Ben Williams was the only player from either side to have multiple hits, going 2-4, while Sanders added the Bisons only RBI. Daniel Smith had the only knock on the night for CU, pushing a bunt single up the first base line in the fourth. Floyd plated the Camels' only run with the sac fly in the eighth.

Campbell and Lipscomb will wrap up their series with a doubleheader tomorrow. First pitch for the doubleheader is set for 1:00 CST.
