Griffen Dynamite in Relief

Kyle Griffen did what Kyle Griffen does Tuesday night. The senior left-hander came on to throw the final 4.1 innings for Tech and earned his first save of the season.

Offense Busts Out

After an inconsistent performance offensively in Lafayette this past weekend, Tech got the bats going Tuesday night. The Bulldogs pounded out 13 hits and also earned 8 free passes.

Hunter Wells lead the way with 3 hits and 2 RBI.

How about this freshman class that Lane Burroughs has put together?

Corona also added 2 doubles, while Myers added 1 of his own.
