NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Lipscomb baseball team wraps up the 2012 home slate on Tuesday night with the final non-conference contest of the season as Tennessee Tech comes to Ken Dugan Field at Stephen L. Marsh Stadium for a 6 p.m. contest.

The Bisons (25-26) will hit the home turf for one last time looking to improve on a school-best 23-10 mark in the friendly confines of Dugan Field this season.  Tennessee Tech heads to the “Music City” with a record of 19-30 overall having come out on top of the Bisons 9-8 in an early season meeting between the two squads in Cookeville.
