| Vision Photo The Bruins (5-0, 0-0 A-Sun) play their home games at Greer Stadium, home to the AAA-affiliate Nashville Sounds, just short three-minute drive from campus. Belmont has already defeated both an ACC (Boston College) and Big East (Pittsburgh) team. Opening day third baseman Brandon McCall, above, is a vital player for the upstart Bruins team. |
After opening the season with back-to-back wins (6-1, 3-2) over Bradley on Feb.18, the Bruins returned to Greer Stadium Feb. 23-25 to pick up three more victories on the young season.
A come-from-behind 8-7 win over Boston College was keyed by a go-ahead single from senior Wilson Tucker in the bottom of the 8th inning, scoring senior Brady Manifold and freshman Packy Elkins.
Senior reliever Jon Camp earned the victory while Chris Manning picked up his first save.
Four runs batted in by senior Kane Simmons along with six strong innings from junior starting pitcher Josh Moffitt led the Bruins to a 11-4 victory over Pittsburgh.
The Bruins concluded the weekend with a 5-4 decision over Ball State as sophomore Carlo Testa notched the win.
A recap of the Feb. 27 game against Ole Miss will be available in the next issue, March 21.
