MARTIN, Tenn.- The University of Tennessee at Martin baseball team competed until the final out but fell short in the final game of the weekend series 8-4 against The Citadel.

Cameron Greene (two RBIs) led the Skyhawks (9-10) at the plate with three hits including a home run and a double. TJ Grines (stolen base) and Colten Payton (two walks) recorded base hits while Andrew Davis (walk, stolen base), JT Popick (RBI) and Bo Strickland (three walks) also contributed to the offensive attack.

Maxwell Schumacher (1-1) started the game and fanned three batters over seven innings in his fifth start of the season. Gehrig Wright (0.1 innings), Mason Little (one inning, one strikeout) and Trevor Busyn (0.2 innings, no runs allowed, no hits allowed) pitched in relief for UT Martin.

The Citadel (8-9) got the leadoff man on, but Schumacher picked him off and proceeded to retire the next two batters. The Skyhawks got their righty a run in the home half when Dunsford brought in Grines from third.

Going into the bottom of the third, UT Martin trailed by three and quickly erased that deficit from a Popick sacrifice fly and Greene's two-run opposite field homer. Schumacher got into a rhythm and spun four straight scoreless frames the keep the game knotted at four headed to the eighth. The Bulldogs would pull in front in the eighth and added on to their lead in the ninth to be able to take the series finale.

The Skyhawks will get in one final matchup before conference play starts when they travel to Carbondale, Ill. to play Southern Illinois at Itchy Jones Stadium on Wednesday, March 18 at 6 p.m.
