The Rundown
Making his collegiate debut, Luke Savage (1-0) found himself in a bit of trouble in the first after the first three batters reached. He retired the next three and limited the Mavericks to just one run in the inning. He allowed two walks and struck out two in his four innings of work.
Drew Hill took over in the fifth and retired all nine batters he faced before turning the ball over to Garrett Wright in the eighth. Wright struck out two and retired all six batters he faced. All told, the trio retired 17 straight to end the game.
Offensively, the Frogs took the lead with two runs on a two-out single from Brayden Taylor and a double from Zach Humphreys in the third.
Gene Wood doubled to lead off the fourth, stole third and scored on a Gray Rodgers groundout for a 3-1 lead.
Five runs crossed the plate for the Frogs in the fifth as the lead grew to 8-1. Taylor had a two-run double to drive in the first two runs of the inning. After Humphreys was hit by the pitch, Wood tripled home two more runs and scored on a Rodgers base hit.
