BOXSCORE

Senior Nick Campbell had a pair of hits in Saturday's loss to Houston Baptist.  The Bulldogs face Tennessee Martin Sunday at 11 a.m.

THIBODAUX, La. - Bryant University senior Nick Campbell (Raynham, Mass.) went 2-for-4 with an RBI and sophomore David Soltis (Plainville, Conn.) had a hit and scored twice but it was not enough as Houston Baptist rallied from down 2-0 to earn a 15-5 win over the Bulldogs Saturday afternoon. 

Bryant (0-2), looking to bounce back from a 4-3 loss to host Nicholls State earlier Saturday at the Big Boy Classic presented by Hampton Inn, scored a run in the top of the first and added another in the top of the second before Houston Baptist rallied for three runs in the second off starter John Michael Ryan (Worcester, Mass.) to take a 3-2 lead.

The Bulldogs would answer in the top of the third as Soltis led off with single to center and moved into scoring position after a double by Dylan Stone (Portsmouth, R.I.). 

Bryant would get the run home three batters later as Jeff Vigurs (South Windsor, Conn.) flied out to center but deep enough to get the tying run home.

HBU (1-3) would break the game open with a run in the fourth and scoring three runs in the fifth and three more in the sixth. 

Bryant will close out the tournament against Tennessee-Martin Sunday at 11 a.m.
