Long Ball Haunts Breds Against Memphis

BOX SCORE
Memphis used the long ball Wednesday afternoon as the Tigers hit four home runs in handing Murray State an 10-4 defeat at Reagan Field.
The Tigers (17-20) got on the board in the first as Jacob Wilson delivered a two-run home run to right field with two outs.
The Breds (18-20) got a run back in the second as Jacob Rhodes doubled to right center to lead off the inning. After a sacrifice bunt from Brandon Elliott, Dylan Wheeler drove in Rhodes with a single to left field.
MSU tied the game in the third as Ty Stetson beat out a bunt single with one out. Mike Kozlowski delivered at two-out single to left field before Rhodes' grounder to first went through the legs of the first baseman, allowing Stetson to score from second.
UM took advantage of a throwing error to help push across a pair of runs in the fourth. A base hit and a walk put two on with one out. T.J. Rich hit a grounder that was thrown into left field on the force attempt at second, allowing a run to score. After a double steal, Tucker Tubbs delivered a sacrifice fly to center field.
The Tigers extended their lead with a two-out rally in the fifth as Wilson hit his second two-run homer of the game, and Eli Hynes made it back-to-back with a home run to right field.
UM added another home run in the eighth as Derrick Thomas led off the inning with a home run to left.
The Breds returned the favor in the home-half of the inning as Travis Isaak led off the inning with a home run to left field. For Isaak, it is his team-leading sixth home run of the season and marks the second time this season he has homered in back-to-back games. Two batters later, Rhodes joined the party with a no-doubt shot to right field, his third of the season.
UM pushed across two more runs in the ninth as Adam McClain delivered an RBI single up the middle before Wilson delivered a sacrifice fly to center field.
Kyle Cornett (3-2) took the loss after allowing seven runs, five earned, on six hits over 3.2 innings. Michael Wills (2-1) earned the victory as he allowed two runs, one earned, on four hits and seven strikeouts over seven innings.
Rhodes led the offense by going 2-for-4 with a double and a home run.
The Breds return to the diamond Friday evening as they open a three-game road series at Jacksonville State. First pitch is set for 6:30 p.m.
