MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Memphis recovered well from an early deficit and rolled to a 13-4 win over Mississippi Valley State Tuesday at FedExPark. The Tigers (10-6) went down 3-0 before rattling off six unanswered runs and putting the game away late.
The game didn't start very well for the Tigers as Mississippi Valley scored three in the top of the first inning. A hit batter, a single and then a three-base error allowed two runs to score before an out was even recorded. A sacrifice fly made the score 3-0.
Memphis starting pitcher Danny Denz settled in after that rocky start and allowed just the three runs, of which only one was earned, in five innings pitched.
