Little Rock Finds Offensive Stride From Last Year Putting 10 Runs On Memphis

LITTLE ROCK- The Little Rock baseball team posts 10 runs in victory over Memphis. The Trojans scored double digit runs against Memphis for the first time since 1992 in the first win against Memphis in Little Rock in almost 20 years. Little Rock ended the game notching 10 runs, 16 hits, and 2 errors.

The Trojans wasted no time getting on the board posting a 3 run inning to open the game. It all began as Alex Seguine hit a lead off single to right field, followed by a single to left field by Tyler Williams. Nico Baumbach was then hit by a pitch which loaded the bases. Skyler Trevino then stepped to the plate and singled to center advancing all runners giving Trevino his first RBI and the Trojans on the board. To round out the Trojans 1st inning rally, Ty Rhoades hit a 2 RBI single up the middle bringing Tyler Williams and Nico Baumbach across the plate.

The Tigers would respond in the top of the second bringing two across the plate after a costly error in the infield. The Trojans escaped the inning conceding 2 runs, 1 hit, and committing 1 error.

It would be locked at 3-2 in favor of the Trojans until the bottom of the fourth which saw Noah Brewer sending a double to left center. The big hit by Brewer was followed by a walk from Jaxson Anderson setting up Jake Wright for an RBI double to left field for Brewer to score. Anderson was brought home by single up the middle from Alex Seguine. The Trojans would end the inning with 2 runs on 3 hits with 2 left on.

The Trojans would again cross home plate after Skyler Trevino doubled to center field and brought Nico Baumbach home after he led off with a double down the left field line. The Tigers would respond with a 2 run inning after another Trojan error in right field put them in scoring position. 

It was another 3 run inning for the Trojans in the seventh as Nico Baumbach and Skyler Trevino score off a double by Noah Brewer. Brewer would then be brought home by a double from Jaxson Anderson. In the Trojans' final inning at bat, Skyler Trevino crossed the plate for the second time after a single from Ty Rhoades.

Jack Cline started the game pitching the first 4.2 innings. Pitcher of record, Thomas Kuykendall, entered the game and recorded his first win of the year after throwing 7 strikeouts against 18 batters and conceding 1 earned run.

The Trojans return to Gary Hogan Field this weekend for a series against Illinois State. First pitch is slated for 3 p.m. and can be watched on ESPN+.
