The Citadel (7-9) grabbed the early lead, but UT Martin was able to cut its deficit down to three on Dunsford's three-run shot over the left center field wall in the third. In the fourth, Turner took the mound and closed things out to keep the Skyhawks within striking distance.

The lefty retired the Bulldogs in order during the fifth with back-to-back punchouts and a flyout to his centerfielder Strickland. Turner posted two straight scoreless frames after getting a flyout to Grines in rightfield, a runner caught stealing and his third strikeout of the game. However, The Citadel was able to gain momentum back and pull away to even the series at a game apiece.

Tomorrow's first pitch for the series finale has been moved to 12 p.m.
