By Mike Gilpatrick–

Showing no offseason rust, sixth-ranked baseball defeated Alabama State 7-0 in their season opener. Junior Brendan McKay pitched a gem, with nine strikeouts, four hits allowed and no runs earned in six innings.

The Cards got on the board in the second inning, when a single and wild pitch for senior Colin Lyman set up an RBI single for junior Drew Ellis down the right field line. In the third, McKay helped his own cause by singling in junior Colby Fitch.
