Bayles worked swiftly through the first inning forcing a groundout and back-to-back flyouts, respectively. Two walks to start the second wouldn't faze the righty after he got a strike 'em out, throw 'em out and then a flyout to close the inning.
Â
Bayles whiffed two more batters and induced a groundout to sit down Samford (8-7) in order in the third. The Bulldogs were able to punch through in the next two innings with six runs.
Â
UT Martin got a run back in the home half of the fifth from a bases loaded hit by pitch on Capps and Baskin pitched a clean seventh inning, but the Skyhawks were unable to pull off the comeback.
Â
UT Martin will be at Skyhawk Field tomorrow for the series finale on ESPN+ at 1 p.m.
