Murray State graduate right hander Sam Gardner threw the first complete game of his collegiate career Sunday afternoon against Belmont at E.S. Rose Park.
It was the first nine-inning complete game since Trevor McMurray threw a complete game in a 7-3 win over Tennessee Tech on April 5, 2019 and the first nine-inning complete game shutout since Cameron Finch tossed the eighth no-hitter in Racer history against SIUE on March 22, 2013 in a 1-0 win.
The Racers gave Gardner two runs of support which proved to be more than enough in his 115-pitch shutout win. He scattered five hits over the nine innings and faced only 30 batters, three over the minimum 27.
Belmont (16-17, 9-9) went down in order in six of the nine innings as Gardner tied his career-high in strikeouts, nine, for the second time this season and allowed no free passes.
On the offensive side of the ball, the Racers (17-16, 8-7 OVC) collected seven hits in the game. David Hudleson was a perfect 3-for-3 with a walk and a RBI and Jake Slunder tallied his team-high 12th multi-hit game of the season with two hits in the game.
The game was deadlocked till the fifth when the Racers were finally able to push one across. MSU loaded the bases on three-straight singles and Jordan Cozart gave Murray State a one-run lead with an RBI fielder's choice, scoring Jacob Pennington from third.
The game stayed that way until the ninth when Hudleson delivered a two-out RBI single to give the Racers an insurance run.
With the win, Murray State avoided the sweep but fell to fourth in the OVC standings.
Murray State stays on the road for the away portion of the Bellarmine series on Wednesday (Apr. 21). First pitch is scheduled for 3:00 p.m.
