FLORENCE, Ala. (Interstat) — The North Alabama Lions stormed back from a five-run first-inning deficit to defeat the Murray State Racers 15-5 on Wednesday evening at Braly Municipal Stadium.

Murray State sent 10 men to the plate in the first, scoring all five of its runs on just one hit, capitalizing on four walks. Luke Mistone had an RBI single in the fourth for one of only three total hits for the Racers.

North Alabama responded immediately. Kyle Millard and Gehrig Frei each hit two-run homers in a five-run second inning. The Lions took the lead for good with a four-run fourth, highlighted by a two-run homer from Calin Smith. Millard homered again later, part of an 11-hit offensive surge.

The Lions improved to 3-2. The Racers fell to 2-2.
