MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Memphis scored one run in the ninth but it was too little, too late as UCF won 7-1 Sunday at FedExPark and took the American Athletic Conference opening series. The Tigers (10-17) will be back in action Wednesday against Arkansas at AutoZone Park.
UCF opened the scoring in the third inning after a leadoff walk. The runner was sacrificed to second and scored on a double. A second run came home after a two-out single to right field.
The Knights opened the top of the fourth inning with a solo home run to right field to extend their lead and scored an additional run each in the fifth, sixth, eighth and ninth innings to make the lead 7-0.
