Box Score MACON, Ga. - Visiting Binghamton (6-6) built a 10-0 lead and hung on to defeat Mercer (10-10) 10-7 Saturday afternoon at Orthogeorgia Park. The victory stretched BU's win streak to five games - all on the road.

Junior Ben Anderson (W, 2-1) fired 6.0 scoreless innings of three-hit ball, struck out nine and didn't walk a batter. He allowed just three singles (two infield) and lowered his season ERA to 3.24.

Junior second baseman Alex Baratta continued his onslaught of Mercer pitching with a 3-for-3, 4 RBI day. On Friday night he went 3-for-5 with an RBI. Baratta drove in a run with a sacrifice fly in the first inning, hit an RBI single in the third and then delivered a two-run single in the fourth as BU extended a 4-0 lead with five runs. 

Junior left fielder Daniel Franchi went 3-for-4 with two doubles and three runs scored. Senior right fielder Anthony Meduri hit a two-out, two-run triple in the third inning.
