Shocker baseball put up double-digit wins in each game against Memphis to take home the series win to close out the regular season. The series was highlighted by the Shockers’ 13-inning showdown on Friday that saw the Black and Gold come out on top after scoring two runs in the final frame to take the 12-10 victory.
