MEMPHIS, Tenn. – The University of Memphis baseball team dropped the finale of its 2023 opening-weekend series to Samford in 11 innings Sunday afternoon at FedExPark Avron Fogelman Field, 9-8, after taking the first two games of the weekend.
The Tigers (2-1) got 5.2 quality innings out of freshman Seth Garner (3 H, 1 R, 5 K) on the mound in his collegiate debut, but Samford (1-2) used a five-run seventh inning to get back into the game and eventually force extra innings and scrap out the win.
"We had a chance to win a series against another club that battles really hard," head coach Kerrick Jackson said.
