Bobcats' Bats Light Up the Diamond
The Bobcats hammered seven home runs, with senior Manny Salas launching three of them and junior Clayton Namken adding a pair, the latter’s 417‑foot shot providing one of the night’s highlights.
Starting pitcher Wade Cooper struggled early, surrendering four runs in the third inning, but relief arm Kyle Froehlich steadied the ship, limiting Marshall to a single run over three scoreless frames.
The win marks the fifth time this season the Bobcats have cracked five homers in a single contest and sets a new program record with 105 round‑trippers for the year.
After a bruising series loss to South Alabama, the team’s offense has found its rhythm, a development that could prove decisive as they head into the Sun Belt Tournament.
Coach Jaquae Stewart praised the collective effort, noting that the depth of the lineup and the bullpen’s resilience give the Bobcats a potent weapon heading into postseason play.
The performance also underscores the program’s growing stature within the conference, a narrative that fans and alumni are eager to follow.
