Sexton leads shutout victory

Junior right-handed pitcher Austin Sexton cruised through four easy innings Saturday afternoon at Dudy Noble Field, leading Black to a 2-0 shutout of Maroon in MSU’s 10th scrimmage of the preseason. The exhibition lasted seven innings.

Sexton struck out one and walked none in the start, yielding three hits. Newcomers Konnor Pilkington (0.2 IP), Ryan Cyr (0.1 IP), Blake Smith (1.0 IP) and Ryan Rigby (1.0 IP) completed the shutout for the victors.

Freshman outfielder Jake Mangum provided the only scoring in the game, driving in redshirt freshman Cole Gordon and redshirt junior Cody Brown on a base hit up the middle in the second.
