The Redbirds broke through early and never looked back, taking down the Bulls 7-3 on the road. Nolan Gorman was the catalyst, going deep and driving in two runs to lead the offense. The Bulls stranded 13 runners in a frustrating loss. The Redbirds visit the Bulls again on Thursday.
The Redbirds scored the go-ahead run in the top of the 3rd when Gorman drew a walk, setting up Mendlinger to score with Victor Scott II on third and Joshua Báez on second, giving them early control.
Gorman finished 1-for-2 with a home run and two RBIs, leading the Redbirds' attack and setting the tone for the day.
Both offenses left runners on the board, with the Redbirds stranding seven and the Bulls leaving 13 on base, but the Redbirds' early strike proved decisive. The Redbirds improved to 64-51 while the Bulls fell to 52-62.
The Redbirds are coming off a win, 4-6 over their last 10. The Bulls are losers of 3 straight, 5-5 over their last 10.
The Redbirds are up next at Knights (Aug 27-29). The Bulls are up next home vs Tides (Aug 27-29).
Ranked by win probability added: how far each player's plays moved this game's odds, not how their box-score line reads. A single with the bases loaded in the ninth outranks a home run in a blowout, because that is what actually decided it.
Runs by inning across the top, then every batter and pitcher underneath. The pills switch clubs; the totals column is each side’s own line, not a comparison.
