MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Memphis starting pitcher Drew Crosby and reliever Jonathan Bowlan combined to hold Tennessee to just one run on five hits and lead Memphis to a 4-1 win in front of 1,489 at FedExPark Saturday.
The pitching tandem was supported by first baseman Trent Turner, who scored the go-ahead run on a wild pitch in the fourth inning and later provided some insurance with a two-run homer in the eighth.
The exciting rubber match of the series will be Sunday at 1 p.m. and the Tigers will look to junior right-hander Connor Alexander to start on the mound.
