NASHVILLE, Tenn. - With barely a cloud in the sky, the Lipscomb baseball team opened its 2017 campaign with a 7-3 victory over Oakland University at Ken Dugan Field at Stephen Lee Marsh Stadium.

JUCO transfer Jake Perry made a big splash in his Lipscomb debut by drilling a three-run double in the bottom of the seventh to give the Bisons a 7-3 lead, which they never relinquished.

Junior righty Brady Puckett still managed to pick up the victory despite not being at his best. He allowed three runs in the first three innings, before settling down to produce a quality start. The Murfreesboro, Tennessee native went 6.2 innings, while allowing three runs and striking eight with no walks.

Oakland wasted little time in taking the lead when Zach Sterry launched a solo home run over the right-field fence in the top of the first. 

The Bisons answered in the bottom of the frame when Zeke Dodson tripled in Michael Gigliotti for Lipscomb’s first run of the season. Dodson then scored on a wild pitch by Oakland starting pitcher Jake Lee, giving the Bisons a 2-1 advantage.

No runs were scored in the second, but the Grizzlies added two runs in the third on RBI hits from Mike McGee and Sterry.

Lipscomb regained the lead in the bottom of the third when Tevin Symonette lined a two-RBI double to score Perry and Dodson.

Perry’s three-RBI double provided some insurance in the seventh, and John Pryor closed out the game on the mound to seal the victory. The senior left-hander pitched the final 2.1 innings and struck out three Golden Grizzlies.
