 | BOX SCORE (.pdf)
Ohio got an RBI single in the bottom of the seventh to score the game-winning run in a 7-6 victory over Murray State in the 2014 season opener at Dave Hall Field in Columbia, Tenn.
With a runner on second and two outs, Mitch Longo delivered the RBI hit through the right side. Tyler Wells scored from second, after being hit by a pitch and advancing on a wild pitch.
The Bobcats got on the board in the second inning by putting runners on the corners with a hit by pitch and a bunt single. Mitch Longo drove in the first run with a single up the middle, before scoring on a Tyree Burch single to center.
The Breds answered right back with a four-run third inning. Ty Stetson started the inning by beating out an infield single. Matt McGowan singled to center and Anthony Bayus drew a walk. Kollin Dowdy drove in Stetson with a groundout to the right side before Hargrove hit the three-run shot to right field.
MSU added a pair of runs in the fifth as McGowan walked, Bayus singled to left center and Dowdy singled to right center to load the bases. Hargrove delivered an RBI single to right field and Luke Daugherty drew a walk to score the second run of the inning.
The Bobcats rallied in the sixth inning with four runs of their own to tie the game. They collected five hits in the inning and scored two more runs on sacrifice bunts.
Right hander Cameron Finch threw five strong innings, but did not figure into the decision. The senior allowed just two runs and struck out three over five innings. He also picked off four base runners.
Cody Maerz (0-1) took the loss after allowing five runs on five hits over 1.2 innings. Nick Nauracy (1-0) picked up the victory after allowing just one hit over three shutout innings. Cory Wells retired all four hitters he faced to earn the save.
Hargrove finished the day with two hits and four RBIs. Daugherty added two hits, while Bayus scored a pair of runs.
The two teams will play the second game of the doubleheader approximately 30 minutes after the conclusion of the first game.
