MILLINGTON, Tenn. – Memphis scored two runs in the bottom of the ninth inning to win the W.S. 'Babe' Howard Classic in dramatic fashion, 7-6, over UT Martin Tuesday night at USA Stadium. The Tigers (26-23) will hope to ride the momentum from the walk-off win into their road series at East Carolina this weekend.
The two teams went back-and-forth all night but it was Memphis that came out on top with a big bottom of the ninth inning. Tyler Webb was able to get things started with a single up the middle before he advanced to second on a wild pitch.
