Tigers drop series opener against USF

MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Memphis baseball dropped a 10-7 slugfest Friday night to open its weekend series against USF at FedExPark.

The two sides combined for 17 runs on 27 hits. The Tigers struggled to finish opportunities on the bases after leaving a season-high 14 runners on the base paths, including at least one every inning and leaving the bases loaded in three innings.

Five Tigers tallied multiple-hit performances. Colton Neel (3-for-5) and Hunter Goodman (3-for-6) each had three hits. Neel blasted a two-run home run in the first inning, while all three of Goodman's hits went for extra bases.
