CINCINNATI, Ohio – Memphis was one strike away from walking away with a series victory over Cincinnati before a Bearcats ninth-inning rally and eventual 4-3 10th-inning win Saturday at Marge Schott Stadium. The Tigers still have an opportunity for their first series win over the Bearcats since 2004 in the rubber match Sunday at noon (CT).
Memphis starter Drew Crosby threw a career-high 6 2/3 innings and allowed just one earned run. He struck out three batters and walked three.
The Tigers' hitters combined for seven doubles, tying the season-high previously set against Mississippi Valley.
