Weather halts Mercer baseball at ETSU

Mercer's Southern Conference baseball game Friday at East Tennessee State was halted at the end of the seventh inning Friday because of weather, with Mercer leading 5-3.

A pair of two-run innings, coming in the first and the fourth, put Mercer ahead 5-0 before ETSU scored one run in the fourth and two more in the seventh. Second baseman Ryan Hagan had two hits in three at-bats for the Bears, while first baseman Ben Upton homered and catcher Charlie Madden has two RBI.

The game resumes at 2 p.m. on Saturday, followed by the regularly scheduled contest.
