  • The Jaguar offense didn't have an answer for starting right-hander Jack Brafa, who went 3.1 innings of hitless ball.
  • Freshman Will Sparks made his collegiate debut, throwing 2.0 innings on one hit and one earned run, punching out two hitters.


KEY STATS
  • Zach Stevens (L, 0-1) carded the loss while reliever J.D. Rodriguez (W, 2-1) earned the win in the contest.
  • South Alabama pitching surrendered 15 runs on eight hits, 10 walks, and 10 K's in the setback.
  • Freshman outfielder Nick Richardson punched his first career hit into right field for two RBI.


QUOTABLE
Freshman RHP Will Sparks on his first collegiate appearance:
"It was pretty surreal. I'm a local guy and have always dreamed about playing for the Jags and to come in and get my first strikeout in my first at-bat was a pretty cool feeling."
