The Memphis Tigers once again found themselves down in their second pool game against the Franklin Falcons 2-0 after four innings and once again the calm, cool Tigers roared back and won scoring 2 runs in the fifth and 2 in the sixth to down the Falcons.

Memphis' starter John Wesley Ray picked up the complete game victory allowing only three hits through seven innings of work while striking out two and walking four. 

Memphis, meanwhile put together 10 hits to go along with 3 Falcon errors to record their 4 runs. Memphis was lead at the plate by Salem Smith's 3 for 3 performance at the plate and Michael Halley's 2 hits to help pace the Tiger attack. Both Halley and Smith scored a run to help finish off the Falcons.

In Memphis' second game of the day, the Tigers came out with a bang to jump to a 5-0 lead and finish off with a 10-3 victory to move their pool record to 3-0 and ensure themselves in the championship game on Sunday. Memphis banged out 15 hits including Salem Smith's solo homerun to pound the Blue Raiders from Middle Tennessee. 

Smith also picked up the win on the mound by throwing 5 innings of 3 hit, 2 earned runs, 4 strikeout pitching to keep the Raiders at bay.

Apparently some much needed rest was the answer for Smith as he also went 4-5 at the plate to collect seven hits on the day as he was able to take a day off from the rigors of football training to concentrate on baseball and return to his earlier form for success.
