Mesh On The Mound Gives Salukis Edge In Twinbill
SIUC coach Itchy Jones moved Mike Mesh, a senior shortstop with a strong arm, to pitch in relief and earn his first win as the Salukis beat Southern Illinois University Edwardsville 6 3 after a 3 2 opener. Mesh yielded one hit and three strikeouts in two scoreless innings, while Tom Hendricks and Rich Koch starred. SIUE manager Gary Collins noted fatigue in the Cougars as they used only four pitchers across both games.
