Tech scored 15 unanswered runs, starting with eight in the top half of the seventh and seven more in the top half of the eighth. ACU scored three more runs over the fifth and sixth innings, advancing its lead to 9-0 after six innings were completed. The two teams waited two weeks between at-bats before the Wildcats returned to play leading 6-0 with one out and a runner on second base.īrendan Girton was inserted into the lineup to start Tuesday's game on the mound seeking the final two outs of the fourth to end an inning ACU had poured in six runs in the frame back in Abilene.
