TEMPE, Ariz. - The baseball team looked to keep its seven-game win streak going as they headed to TEMPE, AZ to take on Park-Gilbert University in a three-game set. 

The Bucs drew first blood in the bottom of the first inning to grab the early 1-0 lead. 

Simpson answered back as they tied the game in the top of the second inning when a leadoff single by Maximiliano Lopez came around to score on a clutch two-out RBI single by Alex Tolbert. 

But the Bucs jumped on Simpson starter Eric Winchester in the second inning as they platted six runs to chase Winchester in just 1.2 innings of work. 

The Bucs plated four more runs in the third inning as they padded its 10-2 lead. 

Simpson chipped away as they plated one run in the top of the fourth inning as a double by Tolbert came around to score on a single by Keelan Yagi. 

Park went on to score three more runs in the bottom of the seventh inning to make it a 14-2 Park lead. 

Simpson plated one run in the top of the seventh inning on a Lopez RBI single. 

However, Simpson could not plate the required amount of runs to keep the game going as they fell 14-3 in seven innings due to the mercy rule being in effect. 

The Red Hawks scattered 10 hits and were led by a three-hit performance by Alex Tolbert. 

Lopez followed close behind with a two-hit game while driving in one run.
