How it Happened
  • The Bucs got on the board in the fourth inning after a one-out walk came around to score from second on a sacrifice fly to deep center off the bat of Garett Wallace.
  • The Bulldogs tied the game in the sixth inning after Thomas Rollauer started the inning with a base hit and took second on a wild pitch. With two outs, Wells Sykes delivered a RBI single to right field.
  • The Citadel took its first lead in the eighth inning as Sawyer Reeves started the inning with a double and trotted home on Travis Lott's two-run home run to right.

  • The performance was the second complete game for the Bulldogs this season.
  • Swygert retired the first six hitters he faced before the leadoff hitter reached in the third. He was able to limit ETSU to just that one baserunner in that inning.
