Centenary has won seven of nine and continued its dominant play at home, improving to an impressive 50-16 at Shehee Stadium since the beginning of the 2021 season. The Diamond Gents, though, were playing just their fifth home game this season and are now 4-1 as they have played 17 road/neutral contests.
Myers (7-1) continued his superb season as he tossed his second-straight complete game after doing so in last Thursday's 7-0 win over Schreiner University in Kerrville, Texas. The left-hander allowed 10 hits but just one earned run and three walks with 10 strikeouts. He faced 37 batters and threw 130 pitches – 87 for strikes. He entered Friday's game with an 0.82 ERA which ranked seventh nationally in division III, and has only allowed three earned runs over his last 39.1 IP with 37 K's.
