Tennessee Tech used a six-run third inning to pull away from Murray State and take the series finale, 10-5, Saturday afternoon in the second game of a doubleheader at Reagan Field.

The Breds (18-23, 10-11 OVC) got on the board first as Matt McGowan singled and came around to score on a Dalton West single to center field.

The Golden Eagles (34-12, 16-8 OVC) started their third-inning rally with a solo home run by Tyler Brazelton. A throwing error on a sacrifice bunt and a wild pitch allowed two more runs to score. Daniel Miles drove in the fourth run with a single to left center, and Dylan Bosheers capped off the inning with a two-run single to right field.

MSU managed to get two runs back in the home-half of the inning after an attempted double play was thrown away at first, allowing Anthony Bayus to score. Michael Hargrove put runners on second and third with a double, and McGowan drove in a run with a groundout.

Brandon Thomasson helped to put the game away for TTU with a solo home run in the fifth, and a two-run shot in the seventh.

The Breds got a single run in the fifth as Kollin Dowdy tripled to right center and scored on a Tyler Lawrence groundout. In the seventh, Hargrove drove in Dowdy with a two-out single through the right side.

Sheldon Baxter (1-5) took the loss after giving up five runs, four earned, on four hits over 2.1 innings. Kyle Keatts (4-0) earned the victory in relief, allowing just two hits and striking out two over 1.2 shutout innings.

MSU collected 14 hits as a team. Bayus and Dowdy each collected three, while Hargrove, Clay Kelly and West each added two.

The Breds return to the diamond Friday evening as they travel to face Arkansas State. First pitch is set for 6:30 p.m.
