HIGHLIGHTS (GM 2)

  • Both teams set down their opposition in order in the first inning to kick start a low-scoring doubleheader nightcap.

  • The Tigers scored their lone run of the game in the last of the fourth to lead 1-0 on two singles and a stolen base.

  • Ceman also tied his career-best single-game RBI mark (3), while Freeman's three RBI were the most in a game in his AUM career.
