Mercer Secures Series Win with 6-5 Decision Saturday

MACON, GA - Four Bradley errors and a passed ball contributed to three unearned runs, including the deciding score in the eighth inning, as Mercer (13-3) pulled out a 6-5 win against the Braves (3-8) Saturday afternoon at OrthoGeorgia Park.

Mercer, which improved to 10-0 at home this season, earned its second straight one-run victory against Bradley to secure the weekend series victory. Sunday's series finale will be pushed back one hour to 2 p.m. ET to allow a forecasted winter storm to clear the area.

Bradley used the long ball to plate four of its five runs Saturday.
