MEMPHIS, Tenn. – After a hotly contested 2-1 loss in the opening game of Friday's doubleheader, the Memphis Tigers used an eight-run seventh inning in game two to split the twin-bill, as they took down the Houston Cougars 13-7. Each team's starting pitcher spun a gem in the opener, as Carson Stinnett (L, 3-5) allowed just two runs over a career-high eight innings, while Houston's Robert Gasser (W, 6-5) struck out 10 and allowed only an unearned run over seven frames in the victory. In the back half of the doubleheader, neither team's starter made it through the fifth inning.
