MACON, GA - Spencer Gaa was 4-for-5 with a triple, two runs scored and two RBI's from the second spot in the Bradley batting order, but Mercer's number two hitter, Alex Hanson, was 4-for-5 with three runs scored and three RBI's, leading the host Bears to an 11-10 win in the opening game of a weekend series Friday night at OrthoGeorgia Park.
After reaching on a fielder's choice in the bottom of the first, Hanson scored the game's first run on a Danny Edgeworth double. The Mercer center fielder then added singles in the second and fifth innings, a 2-run double in the third and the second of consecutive Mercer home runs to open the seventh.
