The Tigers leading hitter, senior outfielder Tyler Webb is tied for seventh in the NCAA with 14 doubles. Webb is batting .320 with a team-high 20 runs scored.
The Tigers lost another close game, falling 8-7 to Cincinnati on April 8. The narrow defeat was the 15th game that Memphis has lost by three runs or less this season. Memphis has six one-run losses, five two-run losses and four three-run losses.
Memphis has been unable to get a winning streak started so far this season, winning back-to-back games only twice this season.
