"What you try to do in a tournament like this is just start to create momentum," head coach Mark Kingston said. "All you can do is try to win the game you're in and then focus on the next one."
The Bulls advanced to the winners bracket in a thrilling 10-6 win over Memphis. Luke Maglich hit his eighth home run of the season and had four RBI on the day to go with a 3-for-4 day at the plate. Freshman Kevin Merrell pushed his batting average over .350 with a 3-for-4 day of his own. Maglich, Merrell and leadoff man Kyle Teaf accounted for two-thirds of the Bulls’ 12 hits and seven of the 10 runs.
