Cole Turney blasts three home runs and Reid Madariaga throws a complete game gem to help the Phoenix win the first day of the Mid-South Conference series over Shawnee State, 14-4. 

Cumberland (13-4-1) rattled off their seventh straight win by run ruling the Bears in seven innings. Turney went 3-for-4 with three homers pushing him to 11 home runs on the season. Madariaga went the full seven innings striking out eight and giving up three earned runs. 

Tyenr Hughes, Ian Krump, and Trenton Duchsherer each collected two hits and Xavier Torres went 1-for-4 with four RBIs. 

The Phoenix got on the board first in the second inning as a high two-out pop up from Krump landed in between the shortstop and center fielder for a double allowing Dee Triplett to score from first. Torres followed that with a high pop up of his own that landed in no man's land scoring Krump and courtesy runner Brandon Boxer for a 3-0 lead. 

Turney leadoff the third with a solo shot to right field and Cumberland tacked on one more on a sacrifice fly from Tim Holyk scoring Hughes for a 5-0 lead after three. 

In the fourth, Juan Moreno led off with a base on balls, setting up Turney’s second home run of the day, a bomb out to center field. Cumberland tacked on two more on an RBI single from Holyk and a bases-loaded walk to Torres to give CU a 9-0 lead. 

In the fifth, Shawnee State’s Noah Rezner hit a solo home run. The Phoenix got the run back and more in the bottom half as Moreno again led off the inning by getting on by a hit by pitch. Turney again followed with a two-run homer to right for his third of the game. Cumberland added another run on an RBI single by Duchsherer. 

Shawnee State scored three runs in the sixth on two hits, a walk, and a Cumberland error. 

The Phoenix ended the game early in the seventh scoring two runs, one on a RBI single from Duchsherer and Torres walked it off with an RBI fielders choice for the 14-4 victory.
