Senior pitcher Jeff Emens entered into the game late to pitch 3.2 shutout innings, allowing only four hits and striking out four Memphis batters. Junior first baseman Andreas Plackis extending his hitting streak to 11 straight contests.

Closer Matt Stites hasn’t given up a run in 13 innings. He has 20 strikeouts and no walks.

“His numbers are stupid,” Smith said. “You look at his numbers this year, they’re ridiculous. You look at his career numbers (1.82 ERA last year, 32 2/3 innings pitched, 36 strikeouts and eight walks last season between Peoria, Ariz. and Eugene, Ore.), I emailed Willie and he said, ‘Are those right?’ They are Nintendo numbers.”
