Lions smash four homers in MSC win

HENDERSON — The Freed-Hardeman University Lions and the visiting Blue Raiders of Lindsey Wilson College combined for 30 runs in Thursday's series opener. FHU was led by Dalton Bonner's six-RBI day in the 20-10 victory in eight innings.

The Lions (19-14, 1-3 MSC) were stunned by a five-run first inning by the guests. Cade Fuller answered the bell for the Lions in the home half of the first by sending an 0-1 offering over the center-field fence. The big hit for FHU did not come until the third inning when Dalton Bonner send the first pitch he saw out of the yard for a game-tying grand slam.

The Blue Raiders (4-22, 1-3 MSC) plated two more runs in the bottom of the fourth to regain a lead, but the Lions came storming through the middle innings by scoring 11 runs in two innings including a seven-run fourth. The game ended by run rule in the bottom of the eighth when an error allowed Jordan Carter to cross as the winning run.

Freed-Hardeman combined for 17 hits with three coming from Dalton Bonner, Cade Fuller, Brooks Jones, and JJ Pruneau. Bonner's six RBI led the team to victory.

In relief of Matthew Riley, Hunter McLemore (3-1) earned the victory after hurling 2 1/3 innings where he struck out six Blue Raiders.
