CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. -- Memphis blasted three home runs to cruise past Austin Peay, 10-5, Tuesday night at Raymond C. Hand Park. First baseman Tucker Tubbs extended his streak of consecutive games with a home run to six.
The Tigers (23-10, 5-4 AAC) will return to FedExPark to host Belmont Wednesday at 6:30 p.m.
Alex Gunn had another great start on the mound for Memphis. The senior lefthander allowed two runs on five hits in seven innings of work. He finished with five strikeouts. He improved his record to 4-0 this season.
Right fielder Chris Carrier got the Tigers off to a great start in the top of the first inning with a three-run homer to left field. Left fielder Kane Barrow singled with two outs ahead of Carrier before Tucker Tubbs walked.
Austin Peay got a run back in the bottom of the second on a solo home run by left fielder Cayce Bredlau.
With one out in the top of the third Tucker Tubbs homered for a sixth consecutive game. The Tigers' senior first baseman has seven home runs and nine RBI in the last six games.
