VERONA, Wis. – Baseball took on a nonconference foe as they continued they five-game homestand Thursday. They squared off with the Beloit Buccaneers. The Buccaneers (17-16) put together an impressive 11-2 victory over the Eagles (17-14).
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
- An infield single followed by a three-run homer in the first set the tone for Beloit in the first inning. While Jacob Carney plated one with a sacrifice fly to left field and Connor Mirocha a single to right in the bottom of the frame, the Buccaneers would keep the pressure on and shut down the Edgewood University offense.
 
- A two-run homer to left in the second and a two-run shot over the fence in left center field in the fifth kept the momentum in Beloit's favor. An RBI single and a two-RBI ground rule double in the sixth would wrap up the scoring.

- Seven Buccaneer pitchers combined for eight innings of scoreless work.
 
- Braden Horton impressed in a short stint, fanning two in an inning pitched. Michael Joyce also performed well on bullpen day, allowing no runs and striking out one in 1.2 innings.
