Nunn started his day in 1-2-3 fashion inducing a groundout, strikeout and flyout. After a two-out single back to the mound in the second, the freshman forced a foul out to first base. With bases loaded, the right-hander escaped the third inning jam by getting a pop out to shortstop. Koch began the home half by drawing a walk and later came around to score on a wild pitch.

Nunn finished his fourth inning of work with a strikeout and 6-3 double play then ended his outing in the fifth on two flyouts and a strikeout. Shropshire took over in the sixth and retired the Lions (18-28) in order to keep UT Martin (18-29) in front.

North Alabama leveled the score in the seventh, but Baskin prevented any more runs from crossing the plate after getting a fielder's choice to end the frame. Baskin pitched a perfect eighth inning from a pop out, flyout and strikeout. The Lions took the lead in the ninth and held off a Skyhawk comeback in the home half.

UT Martin will now look towards its weekend series at Little Rock starting on Friday, May 9 at 6 p.m.
