In the top fourth inning, the Mustangs got on the board to take the 1-0 lead. That was all they needed as senior Colin Langley gave up only two hits and two walks to claim the shutout win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the series finale, the Bruins wasted no time setting the tone. In the bottom of the first, Bob Jones scored six runs on five hits to seize early momentum. A two-RBI double from Cayden Kennedy highlighted the inning, followed by a two-run double by Derek Farley and RBI knocks from Elijah Medrano and Mannix Crawford to build a 6-0 lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the third, both teams added a run to the scoreboard. For the Bruins, David Henry scored on an error to push the advantage to 7-1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The fifth inning proved decisive. After the Mustangs rallied for four runs in the top half to cut the deficit to 7-5, the Bruins exploded for 11 runs in the bottom of the inning. The Bruins stretched the lead to 18-5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the top of the seventh inning, Mid-Atlantic looked to mount a late comeback, adding seven more runs to their total. However, the Bruins&#8217; bullpen ultimately shut the door to secure the 18-13. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Story and image courtesy BJU Athletics<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GREENVILLE, S.C. &#8211; Mid-Atlantic Christian took one win and left a couple on the table over the weekend in an early-season baseball series with Bob Jones University.
