Memphis - After receiving multiple inches of rain Friday and Saturday, the Rhodes baseball team and coaches worked hard to get the field ready for a three-game series against Wabash College February 24-25. The games would be the first of the season for the Little Giants who, like Rhodes, was one game away from the 2018 College World Series. 

Rhodes found themselves down 2-0 until the Lynx plated six runs on seven hits in the fifth. In the sixth, the Lynx scored another three runs on two hits, two walks, a hit by pitch and a sac fly. Wabash managed to cross another run in the ninth on two hits and a fielding error by the Lynx. 

Defensively, Jacob Telli caught three Little Giants trying to steal. At second base, Jon Michael Lauck made two diving plays to keep the ball in the infield and retiring each batter at first base. Rhodes turned two double plays, one including pitcher, Jacob Tubs, on a 1-6-3, the other on a grounder to third base (5-4-3).

At the plate, Rhodes tallied 12 hits including a triple by freshman Ben Wilson. On the mound, Dubs earned his second win of the season after striking out six in 6.2 innings of work. Matt Dale came in for the Lynx and threw five K's in 2.1 innings. 

Rhodes and Wabash will meet at 10:30 a.m. Monday, February 24 for a nine-inning contest before finishing the day with a seven-inning game.
