MEMPHIS, Tenn. – After enduring a four-hour, 20-minute rain delay, Memphis baseball dropped a 7-4 contest to open its series against Cincinnati Friday night at FedExPark.
The Bearcats found early offense with six runs through the first two innings. The Tigers plated four runs in the seventh and eighth, but the late rally fell short as Cincinnati claimed the series opener.
Nick Vaage posted a 3-for-3 day at the dish and plated a run. Jason Santana also collected a multiple-hit effort, going 2-for-2 and driving in a run.
On the mound, Hunter Smith was tagged with the loss.
