The Lipscomb baseball team defeated Tennessee Tech 7-1 on the rainy Tuesday afternoon at Ken Dugan Field at Stephen L. Marsh Stadium. The Bisons were down 1-0 early, due to a home run by the Golden Eagles’ designated hitter Ryan Flick. This run by Flick was the only one Tennessee Tech got the entire game. But it didn’t take long for Lipscomb to answer with a run-scoring double by senior Jonathan Allison in the bottom of the third. The tie of 1-1 didn’t break until the bottom of the fifth. Lipscomb freshman Jeffrey Crisan helped break the tie by getting a sacrifice fly to right field. He was not the only freshman to have a good day at the plate. Freshman Michael Gigliotti had three runs and said that getting those runs and RBI’s were all about his mindset. “Bunting to me is religious,” Gigliotti said. “I work on bunting as much as hitting. When you have speed, it is a great tool to get on base and score some runs.” Gigliotti now has six bunt base hits on the season. Lipscomb head coach Jeff Forehand said that he was proud of Gigliotti’s and the other team member’s contributions, whether it was on the field or at the plate. Forehand said that everyone on the team making an impact in the game was important. “This is exciting for everyone to see,” Forehand said. “It is a positive for us because we do have a veteran team.” Lipscomb had a four run inning in the bottom of the eighth due to a wet ball. “We took advantage of a mistake with a wet...

After losing a close battle with Murray State Monday night, the men’s basketball team played hard against a, at the time, 3-2 Tennessee Tech Golden Eagles, winning 80-64. The Bisons came out strong with a 4-0 run in the first three minutes, but the Golden Eagles kept the game close until Lipscomb gained important momentum, going into the half up by nine. The second half mirrored the first, with a strong finish helping the Bisons close things out. The team evened out their record to 3-3 on the season. Senior Deonte Alexander led the Bisons in scoring with 17, with sophomore Martin Smith adding in 14. Freshmen Stephen Hurt led in rebounds with 10 and junior Khion Sankey led in assists with four. The Bisons also made 80% of their free throws, with sophomore Malcom Smith making seven of eight. Martin Smith believes that tonight’s win helped show the team’s strengths. “It was a big win for us,” Martin Smith said. “This is a team that’s going to compete in the OVC with Murray State and Belmont. It was just a good win, showing what we’re capable of doing as a team.” After this week’s play, Martin Smith hopes that the momentum will carry over into this Tuesday’s second and final installment of the Battle of the Boulevard at Belmont. “This week, we just showed we were capable of playing great defense and that we’ve got our offense down pat.” Photo credit: Whitney...
