MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Memphis scored early and often and Drew Crosby spun a gem as the Tigers won the series opener over Cincinnati 9-4 Friday night at FedExPark. The Tigers (25-21, 6-10 AAC) will have a big day on Saturday at FedExPark as they retire the jersey of former All-American Adam Amar and honor the 2007 NCAA Regional team while also going for the series win.
Crosby tossed seven innings and allowed just three runs on three Bearcat hits. The junior left-hander didn't allow a single hit through the first four innings and after Cincinnati score three runs on three hits in the fifth he didn't allow another base runner.
