Morehead State’s baseball squad clinched a 7‑6 victory over Tennessee Tech on Saturday, completing a three‑game series sweep that not only extended the Eagles’ winning streak to seven but also secured the program’s first series sweep at Tech since 1994.
The breakthrough came early when Nick Griffith launched a two‑run homer that put the visitors ahead, a swing that set the tone for a contest that would see the lead change hands multiple times.
Griffith’s impact didn’t end there; in the ninth inning he delivered a go‑ahead sacrifice fly that capped a rally and handed the win to the Eagles, while his bat accounted for one of three long balls hit by the team.
Alex Kean added a solo shot that traveled 462 feet in the fourth, and rookie Miller Murray capped his collegiate debut with his first career round‑tripper in the seventh, underscoring the depth of the lineup.
On the mound, Carter Owens earned the decision, and Bradley Poynter closed out the game with his first save of the season, illustrating the balanced contribution from both starters and relievers.
Looking ahead to the OVC tournament
The win leaves Morehead State as the fifth seed heading into the Ohio Valley Conference tournament, where they will meet eighth‑seed Southern Indiana in an elimination showdown that could define their postseason trajectory.
