The Bisons played through the rain on Sunday, defeating East Tennessee State University 4-3 on a wild pitch in the bottom of the ninth.

The Bisons struck first, plating three runs in the bottom of the third. With two outs, Allen Bolden doubled to get the offense started. After the Bucs walked the next batter, Caleb Joseph, Blake Bratcher drilled his second home run of the season to give the Bisons the 3-0 lead.

The Bucs got two of the runs back against Bisons' starter, Mike Dunn, in the top of the fourth to pull within one.

The Bucs tied the score in the sixth, after Paul Hoilman scored on a wild pitch.

Right-hander, Kyle Tognazzini, relieved Dunn with one out in the eighth. In 7.1 innings of work, Dunn gave up three runs, one earned, on one hit while striking out five in the no-decision.
