four hits (all singles) through six inning. His shutout bid was broken
up in the eighth inning when Sam Houston State pinch-hitter Karl Krailo
doubled in a pair of runs.
The Titans, who scored in all but one inning, took advantage of 13 hits
by nine different players and four Bearkat errors. Suzuki had an RBI-double
in the first and Sergio Pedroza had a one-run single to open the scoring.
