HALDEMAN, Ky. (Interstat) — Ian McCubbin and Brayton Coomer each hit a three-run home run in the third inning Tuesday night, lifting Morehead State to a 9-6 victory over Marshall at Allen Field.

Morehead State starter Cody Luttrell worked three innings, allowing two earned runs on two hits with a walk and two strikeouts. Ethan Davis earned the win after tossing three innings of relief, permitting one earned run on two hits while striking out three. Jacob Vanover picked up a save with two innings of one-run ball, fanning three. Davis Gunn came on to record the final out of the eighth inning.

Interstat’s game simulator had projected a final score of Morehead State 6, Marshall 4, but the Eagles surpassed that total with a seven-run third inning. The Interstat ELO system had given Marshall a 54.30 percent probability to win.
