ST. LOUIS, Mo. – Baseball went 1-3 at the Clayton Pfeiffer Memorial Tournament in St. Louis, Missouri.

GAME 1: The Warriors opened up against Peru State at 10 a.m. on Saturday.

Ashtin Moxey singled up the middle to get on base and to score Daftari from third and give Tech a 1-0 lead.

Tech scored again in the top of the fifth inning when Jacob Alvidrez singled to centerfield followed by a bunt from Reese Olden to put runners on first and second with no outs. A flight out to right field gave Alvidrez the opportunity to tag up and move to third and put himself into scoring position.
