RICHMOND, Ky. – Eastern Kentucky University fell behind 9-1 as Bellarmine scored in each of the first four innings on its way to a 15-5 victory in game two of the weekend series on Saturday at Earle Combs Stadium.
 
After the Knights (7-12, 2-0 ASUN) scored three times in the top of the first, EKU (7-11, 0-2 ASUN) got on the board in the bottom half of the inning on Will King's RBI single up the middle.  That is as close as the Colonels would get though.
 
Down 12-1 in the sixth, EKU plated four runs in attempt to claw back into it.  King had an RBI double before DJ Sullivan came off the bench and hit his first home run as a Colonel.  The three-run shot made it 12-5. 
 
Colin Bertsch hit a three-run home run in the top of the seventh for Bellarmine to extend the lead back to 10.  The game ended in seven innings after the Colonels failed to score in the bottom half of the frame.
