TU once again used their red hot bats, pounding out 19 hits on the day and 51 in the three game series.

Thomas, once again, jumped all over FMU in the first inning to score five runs on five hits. The Night Hawks scored 11 first inning runs in the three game set. Sophomore designated hitter Tyler Palmer (5-5, 3 R, 2B, 3B, BB, RBI, SB) had five more hits today and is batting .750. The win was the 400^th career win for TU Baseball Coach Mike Lee.
