LEBANON, Tenn.--No. 22 Cumberland Baseball wins game one on a late inning heroics from Ian Krump and Trevor Muzzi shutdown the Tigers in game two while Dee Triplett and Tim Holyk provided the offensive firepower in game two to win the series over Campbellsville. 

Cumberland (24-9-1, 14-3 MSC) came up with two much needed wins to stay in the hunt for the regular season Mid-South Conference Championship. The Phoenix had an early lead in game one and had to fight back after giving it up late, but got it done and cruised to the win in a darkness-shortened game two. 

The Phoenix jumped ahead in the first game with five runs in the second inning. Chewy Sanders delivered an RBI-double and he came in and scored on a passed ball before the game was halted for 30 minutes for a rain delay. After the delay, Santrel Farmer ripped a two-RBI triple over the Tigers' centerfielders head to plate two and he scored on an RBI-single from Juan Moreno for a big 5-0 lead. 

Campbellsville chipped away at the lead over the next few innings with a three-run home run from Chad McCann after a two-out error in the third and a solo shot from Henry Wright in the fourth to cut it to 5-4.

In the fifth, the Tigers took the lead with two runs. They scored the tying run on a throwing error and the go-ahead run on an RBI-single from Jorge Gonzalez to end starter Ethan Torres game. Cumberland responded with a game-tying home run in the bottom half from Drew Dalton who got the start today at shortstop.

In the sixth, Sanders drew a lead off walk and Holyk bunted for a single to put runners on first and second. Jacob Dukart laid down a two strike sacrifice bunt to move both runners up and Ian Krump provided the heroics with a roped triple to left field for an 8-6 lead.

Mitch Rogers closed the door on the Tigers in the seventh picking up the win in relief. Rogers threw the final 2.2 innings striking out six batters without allowing a hit. 

Cumberland scored early and often in a darkness-shortened game two. Triplett hit a three-run home run to right field in the first to give CU the lead and the Phoenix never looked back. 

The Tigers scored one in the third, but a Holyk grand slam in the fourth pushed it right back to a 7-1 lead. In the fourth, Triplett roped a two-RBI single to right field. Catcher Trenton Duchsherer drew a bases loaded walk and Sanders scored on a wild pitch. Farmer hit a sac fly to left for the final run of the game to go up 12-1 before the game was called due to darkness and deemed an official game. 

Trevor Muzzi moves to 4-0 on the season with the win. He threw all five frames giving up three hits and one run while striking out two. 

The Phoenix have two big midweek games this upcoming Wednesday as Cumberland travels to take on Georgetown on Wednesday before the weekend set against Lindsey Wilson.
