🔵 ONE BIG THING

Mound Man. Mason Moore pitched a career-high 7.0 innings and recorded the first 19 outs before allowing a hit in game three against Kennesaw State this past weekend. He is the first Wildcat since 2021 to pitch at least seven innings, allowing one hit or less. He is also just the second to do so since 2018 when Justin Lewis pitched eight innings of one-hit ball against Florida. The Cats weren’t able to win the series, but Moore helped them get one win.
