James Merry made the most of his time at bat despite the final result and went a perfect 3-for-3 with two RBI and one run. Another player making a difference was Preston Zumwalt, who went 3-for-4 with one RBI.
Troy has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won six of their last seven games. That's provided a nice bump to their 7-7 record this season.
