MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Colton Hatchock rebounded nicely from a tough opening day, to toss a seven-inning gem and lead Memphis to a 4-0 win in the series opener with SIU-Edwardsville Friday at FedExPark. Hathcock struck out six batters and allowed just three hits in the home opener for the Tigers.
Andy Bowman got the scoring started for Memphis with his first career home run, a solo shot to right field in the second inning. That would be the only run the Tigers would need though as the pitching staff was dominant.
Hathcock got into one jam in the game, when the Cougars got two runners on with nobody out in the top of the third inning.
