Denz's career day leads to shutout
WILMINGTON, N.C. – A career performance from senior left-handed pitcher Danny Denz highlighted Memphis' 4-0 series-opening win against UNCW on Friday night at Brooks Field.
Denz registered a career-high 11 strikeouts in six innings of a scoreless outing, while allowing just one hit. The senior, who collected his first quality start of the season, retired 18 of the 20 batters he faced.
Offensively, three runs in the first by Memphis and one in the second were all the Tigers needed to secure the win. Freshman Taylor Howell registered a multi-hit effort with a 2-for-4 night and an RBI.
