While the Tigers scored seven runs from the bottom of the fourth through the seventh inning, they still weren't able to overcome the 10-run deficit.

Milwaukee finished the game with 16 hits and six walks as a team.

Nine innings weren't enough to decide the winner of East Carolina's clash with Tennessee, as the game didn't end until the bottom of the 14th.

While East Carolina took a 2-1 lead in the top of the ninth inning, Tennessee sent the contest to extras following Henry Ford's solo home run with two outs in the bottom of the frame.

Both teams scored once in the 13th inning before the Pirates racked up four runs in the top of the 14th. Their impressive inning included a solo homer from Walker Barron.

Tennessee couldn't complete a late rally, as East Carolina emerged victorious.
