Finding the team down early in a 5-0 deficit, head coach Clint Helton made the adjustments needed to help the Scots climb back to eventually win the game. 

After the seemingly endless first inning was over, Maryville found themselves down 5-0. Coach Helton made a key substitution that brought life back to the team. Sophomore Nick Curry came in to pinch hit for Zach Devries, and the rest was history. The Knoxville native was 5-5 on the day, scoring three runs and bringing in five RBI. Curry was a home run away from hitting for the cycle with two singles, one double, and one triple. 

Maryville completed the comeback, defeating Greensboro 13-9. Adrian comes into the game at 5-5 on the year after splitting their Traid Invite games of Friday and Saturday. They fell to Greensboro on Friday, and defeated Montclair last night. The Scots improved to 10-3.
