NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Trevecca's baseball team (16-11, 5-1 TranSouth) hosted No. 2 Lee University (25-4) for a double-header on Tuesday, dropping the second game 7-6.

Drew Durossette took the ball for Trevecca. Lee jumped on top with a run in the top of the first, but the Trojans answered with three in the bottom of the third to take the 3-1 lead. Lee's Michael Brown hit a three-run homer in the top of inning number four to give the Flames the 4-3 lead, but the Trojans tied it up in the bottom of the fifth. Lee scored twice off Durossette (0-4) in the top of the sixth to claim the lead back at 6-4. After Lee added an insurance run off Wes Griggs in the top of the seventh, the Trojans mounted one last charge in the bottom of the inning. Trey Morrison laced a two-RBI single to left that cut the deficit to 7-6, but that was all the Trojans could muster, as Lee took the game 7-6. Durossette tossed 5 2/3 innings, allowing six earned runs on eight hits while walking five and striking out six. Jeff Ibarra (4-1) earned the victory for the Flames.
