NOTABLES

• Isaac Hale and Nate Rutherford combined to throw three innings of scoreless relief – the only baserunner to reach during that stretch came on a walk.
• Tech did its work in the opening inning with two outs on the board. After back-to-back fly outs to start the inning, Tech used three straight singles, capped by a two-run single by Love to get on the board.
• Lyon knotted the game in the second, and the Wonder Boys were able to keep Lyon from tacking on additional runs as Birkemeier pitched out of the two-on, one-out jam.
• After the Scots took advantage of a Tech error in the third to pull ahead, the Wonder Boys returned the favor, taking advantage of a Lyon miscue to knot the game at 3-3.
• After putting the first two runners on base in the fifth inning, the Wonder Boys pulled ahead on a Love sacrifice fly.
• Another Tech error proved costly in the fifth, as the Scots plated a pair of runs on a throwing error to pull ahead 5-4.
• The Wonder Boys threatened again in the sixth and eighth, putting a runner on third with two outs in both innings, but Tech was unable to plate the tying run.
