The baseball Bruins teed off in their Ohio Valley Conference matchup against UT Martin in a 34-10 rout. (No, that's not a football score.) Belmont led by five runs heading into the sixth inning, but the Bruins really put the game out of reach with a 20-run sixth inning that sent an NCAA-record 26 batters to the plate. The previous record was 24, which was set by Delaware on April 29, 1993. That's right — the Bruins came close to batting around three different times in an inning that forced the Skyhawks to use four different pitchers. Belmont had 31 hits and 12 home runs in the win, breaking a conference record and placing third all-time in NCAA history for most long balls by a team in one game. Drew Ferguson, Joe Stovall, Nick Egli, and Tyler Fullerton each hit two homers for the Bruins. Unfortunately, UT Martin couldn't score the three touchdowns and field goal it needed in the final quarter — er, innings."
