Bears won’t see
TAAC tournament
By ROBBIE TURNLEY
Sports Editor
The Mercer Bears baseball team
has not won many conference
games and as a result, they won’t
be playing in the TAAC Tourna
ment being held at Stetson Univer
sity in DeLand, Florida, this
weekend.
In a make-up game last Monday,
Mercer was destroyed by the Stet
son Hatters 8-1 at Claude Smith
Field. Greg Fitzgibbons took the
loss for the Bears. He is now 0-2
with one save. The Bears’ only run
came on a solo homer by Muzzy
Jackson. Mercer committed two er
rors while Stetson played flawless
baseball.
However, Tuesday was a dif
ferent story. The Bears ended a
four game losing streak as Michael
Mimbs struck out nine in a 6-0
shutout of the Georgia College Col
onials in Milledgeville. The Bears'
lefthander pitched a three-hitter and
raised his record to 5-8 for the
season. Mimbs did not allow a run
ner until the fifth inning, but he was
erased by one of three Mercer dou
ble plays. Mimbs was not used to
pitching with such an insurmoun
table lead.
Meroer scored all of their runs in
the first couple of innings, chasing
Colonials' suiter Eric Koble (1-2).
Muzzy Jackson made it 4-0 on a
grand slammer with one out in the
first. Then Brannen Smith doubl
ed and Jimmy Money penny drove
home Smith with another double.
Robb Myers connected on a home
run in the second and that was all
the Bears would need for the vic
tory. Lefthander Rusty Kea reliev
ed Kobbe for Georgia College and
shut down Mercer, allowing no
runs, seven hits, and striking out
six.
In this game, Mercer dominated
the statistics. The Bears won 6-0,
out-hit the Colonials 12-3, but did
not commit an error.
Mercer improves to 15-32 with
the win and are 4-14 in conference
play. Georgia college drops to
25-22.
This week, the Bears host Berry
College in * doubleheader this
Tuesday, May 2, at 1:30 p m. at
Claude Smith Field. Then on
Wednesday, May 3, the Bears play
the Columbus College Cougars in
Columbus. Gametime for that one
is 3 p.m.
