Rain has forced the game into a weather delay. Before the stoppage in play, this is what happened in the bottom of the first inning:<\/p>\n

Grahovac got the frame started with a single ripped up the middle and Sorrell followed that up with almost the identical thing to put two on. Duer than worked a one-out walk to load the bases with Partida at the plate. The freshman ripped a double down the third base line to drive in two.<\/p>\n

Mendoza got the game started with a leadoff double, and a Tinney fly ball to right field advanced him to third. An E6 off Robbins’ bat drove in the game’s first run.<\/p>\n
