MACON, GA – Mercer used its eighth-inning magic to complete a weekend series sweep against Bradley (5-7). The Bears (10-9) got a game-winning hit in the eighth inning for the second game in a row to start Saturday's doubleheader, then put the series finale out of reach with a 5-run outburst in the eighth inning of the nightcap Saturday at OrthoGeorgia Park.
Mercer earned a 12-11 win in Saturday's opener after Brandon Michie launched a 3-run home run in the eighth inning and the Bears scored in seven of their eight offensive innings in the second game Saturday to earn a 15-5 win in the series finale.
